leaving if they were not allowed to access applications like Facebook and YouTube.

A further 21 per cent indicated that they would feel ‘annoyed’ by such a ban.

The problem is less acute with 25 to 65 year-olds, of whom just 16 per cent would consider leaving and 13 per cent would be annoyed

Can we leave our hopelessly broken intranet to die and just use cool new tools?

Can we leave our hopelessly broken intranet to die and just use cool new tools?

Intranet or Frankenstein’s Monster? Its parts are bolted together

from various sources, some of which aren’t quite official

Some of its parts are missing and some expired a long time ago

It lacks a brain and has taken on a life of its own

Your audience runs screaming when told to interact with it

It frightens its creator

Intranet 2.0 Risk Employees move without you

A Gartner survey, reported in CIO, found that half of the respondents reported that more than 60% of their IT users were employing consumer-grade software, whether approved or not


The definition of insanity Why do many intranets fail? The same technology that made Internet

revolutionary would save internal communications Too easy: rapid proliferation of content with no consistent

guidelines, design templates, structured database Took back seat to web site: cost centre, weak executive

sponsorship Extremely political: stake out space in cyber space and

defend to the death

“Rule No 1: Don’t post anything… you wouldn’t want to red on the front page of your newspaper

“Terrible leader” “Rednecks”

Planning for intranet 2.0 success An intranet is a process, not an event

Confirm the need and value• Know how to measure within your business

It’s NOT “Shoot, ready, aim”• Start with a metrics-driven plan• Support with strategy and governance

Ongoing maintenance• You can’t miss what you can’t measure


It’s About People Find the right person to get

the information you need Do all the people need the

same knowledge? Who’s leading the people? What does the company want

their people to know? What technology will your

people use? Technology doesn’t make the

crowd wise Who’s responsible?



9 Recommendations

Leadership – Senior management must set the tone Plan - Planning is an essential requisite for success Benchmark - Understand the ingredients of a good

blog, wiki Engage – gather input and feedback from employees

early in the planning process; act quickly on necessary changes

Governance – every tool needs an owner and a policy


9 Recommendations

Technology – don't be sold a solution, evaluate and select a 2.0 solution based on business requirements & needs

Refresh – keep your content and tools relevant and fresh

Monitor - Ensure you’re aware of which 2.0 websites are popular, how they work & what users like/dislike

Measure - Document the link between social media & the business & develop & track KPIs


Your homework

Are you an employer of choice? Many organizations have or are planning to adopt

2.0 tools – are you behind the competition?
