Global Intranet Strategies Survey

Jane McConnell has asked me to remind you there are only a few days before the 4Th Annual global intranet strategies survey will close, at the end of August.

I’ve worked with Jane on this for a couple of years [Disclosure: I have helped, unpaid, Jane improve the report by being an opinionated fellow from across the sea] and can highly recommend participation. If you fill in the survey you get a free copy of the Trends Report, Jane’s analysis of the data. It is really great material and helps with many aspects related to running an intranet.

Some preliminary findings:

- The intranet as the single point of entry into the online workplace is beginning, with approximately 15 % of the organizations saying this is already the case.

- Home pages are primarily news-based (60 %) versus navigational or work tool-based.

- Social networking applications (such as Facebook) are still rare, existing in fewer than 15% of the organizations. However, another 20 % are experimenting!

- Internal blogs exist in around 45 % of the organizations.

- Approximately 35% of the organizations attempt to measure the value the intranet brings to the organization, business and staff.

Yammer and puddles

Recently I was asked " What are the top 10 points you think are important to get across to staff at all levels in an organisation about Yammer? " My initial reaction was "Tough ask", mainly because I've seen great write ups on what organisations get out of Yammer but very few that talk directly to the user benefits. Many articles give the usual cop out "users can't see the point, until they get it" I admit I was in that boat when I started using Twitter, a public micro blogging platform. But just like they said "once I used it I got it". What they didn't say was that it took a while and it suits certain people better than others. So as with all things in the social media space, be aware that culture change not the technology may be your biggest challenge. So what does Yammer, a microblogging platform for organisational use , do for real employees that is compelling enough for them to spend the time to "Get it" ? First off Y

Role Title on profiles

Today one of the people I follow on Twitter asked the following question. @ChristySeason Asking all #intranet tweeps: Does your company publish employees' titles on your employee directory/look up/phone book? In following Intranets Live I've been lucky enough to see some great intranets. As such I was able to reply to Christy with the following Nokia do Deloitte do (see the end of the post) Christy's question also prompted me to document my own intranet's profile page. The following image is from the view other's get of my profile. When I look at my profile I see every item that is recorded. I'll save you from that, another post perhaps, if you're interested. DorjeM PS a couple of Vendors I've been reminded of, thanks Crhis and Carolyn, also have screen shots of their profile pages on the web: ThoughtFarmer - intranet software - slideshow of screen shots and Intranet connections - software solution
