Of the 10, six have fewer than 15,000 employees, Amy Schade, user experience director for Nielsen Norman, told the hosts of this month's IBF Live broadcast. Even though the companies were relatively small, "This year we had our highest team size in the history of the report," she said. Including external consultants, the teams had an average of about 15 people. Smaller companies now have access to the resources to make great intranets, and they're willing to invest in the staffing to realize them.</div></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Intranetpub-published/~4/kc9_PE1jdP8" height="1" width="1"/>http://intranetlounge.com/What-makes-an-intranet-an-award-winner-Matt-Wilson#commentsFri, 10 Feb 2012 20:41:44 GMTawardsbest intranetsTipshttp://intranetlounge.com/What-makes-an-intranet-an-award-winner-Matt-Wilson150_9eBd1V_OEacTBx4bvFN2wManagement, Governance & Strategybeehttp://intranetlounge.com/What-makes-an-intranet-an-award-winner-Matt-Wilsonhttp://intranetlounge.com/The-Garden-Inside-an-Award-Winning-Intranet-Intranet-Connections-Bloghttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Intranetpub-published/~3/-bINLuLEh0o/The-Garden-Inside-an-Award-Winning-Intranet-Intranet-Connections-Blog<div><div><div>Amy Schade is the User Experience Director at the Norman Nielsen Group.

Yet a recent study from IABC and Prescient Digital Media suggests that 39 percent of companies don't have any social components on their intranets (the number is as high as 49 percent in other research), and a substantial number of those that do have only one (like a wiki or a blog).

Certainly English is a very useful default language, and it is fairly easy to work with around 850 words. The other 1 million are just there to confuse everyone, including many native speakers.

I know I'd probably receive hate emails and death threats for saying it. But the truth has to be surfaced. And I will say it: Knowledge Management (KM) - as we know it - is dying. KM in 2012? Dead probably.” Keep your cool. I know the above statements are pretty emotional - especially if you have invested in a KM education (like I did) or if your livelihood depends on it (i.e. you are a KM consultant).

Although sadly, many intranets today are doing the reverse and are not making a positive impact on workplace happiness! When intranets are poorly designed, organically mismanaged or left to decay without the required love and support, they can have a detrimental impact on an organization. It takes a special combination of thinking outside the box — beyond the world of features and functionality and into the complex world of what makes people tick.

In short, it’s Web 2.0 but on the corporate intranet. The intranet 2.0 label has largely faded to black, and has been replaced by the more fashionable label, the social intranet. However, there are clear distinctions between the two. The original intranet, intranet 1.0, typically began as nothing more than a bare bones website on someone’s desktop computer, usually in IT or corporate communications. The first version of this intranet was nothing more than a welcome page, perhaps a name and a phone number, and a simple welcome message.</div></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Intranetpub-published/~4/VC9mGdiEA1k" height="1" width="1"/>http://intranetlounge.com/Intranet-20-and-The-Social-Intranet-Intranet-Blog#commentsFri, 10 Feb 2012 20:41:44 GMTSocialhttp://intranetlounge.com/Intranet-20-and-The-Social-Intranet-Intranet-Blog1160ixYAY14k7EKc1wyVRhj2bQSocial intranet & Collaborationadminhttp://intranetlounge.com/Intranet-20-and-The-Social-Intranet-Intranet-Bloghttp://intranetlounge.com/Networking-for-Intranet-Managers-Sharon-ODeahttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Intranetpub-published/~3/UJ7R3lCe9Vo/Networking-for-Intranet-Managers-Sharon-ODea<div><div><div>Intranet Management can be a lonely occupation.

Here are a few observations which will help you improve the impact of blogging in your organisation. Thanks to @neil_jenkins for additional materials. Observations from failing blogs Tend to be about the execs, but rarely by the execs resulting in a loss of important credibility. Readers need to believe that the words come from the purported author. Often an extension of other internal communication routines, resulting in them covering somewhat similar materials to internal news briefs or worse, press releases. Blogs are unique vehicles and should carry unique materials. They read like a diary (unsurprising given that’s often how they’re created). The result is that they often read like your children’s holiday report back (“on Monday I did…. On Tuesday I met with …”) They never ask for feedback from the employees. Lacking feedback loses one of the main contributors to a successful blog. A CEO’s blog is a virtual conversation with employees and we all know conversation is a two-way street.</div></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Intranetpub-published/~4/jdi6N0nfc0E" height="1" width="1"/>http://intranetlounge.com/Intranet-Executive-Blogs-Jonathan-Phillips#commentsFri, 03 Feb 2012 21:20:02 GMTblogContenthttp://intranetlounge.com/Intranet-Executive-Blogs-Jonathan-Phillips1270hK6Av_Z5306Hsim_V7-o-QContent & Communicationadminhttp://intranetlounge.com/Intranet-Executive-Blogs-Jonathan-Phillipshttp://intranetlounge.com/Intranet-Love-Affairs-Sending-love-and-praise-in-the-enterprise-IBFhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Intranetpub-published/~3/Wxv5cp0Co7I/Intranet-Love-Affairs-Sending-love-and-praise-in-the-enterprise-IBF<div><div><div>On IBF 24 in 2011, one of my favourite items was the demonstration from Love Machine, one of a set of new technology start-ups involving Philip Rosedale, founder of Second Life, and Ryan Downe, who walked us through the functionality.   Their other projects include “Coffee &amp; Power” and the “Worklist”, both also very interesting in their own right.

So I thought I would try and collect some answers, if only for my own purposes of clarity. In essence this is a distillation of my experiences and these are my views although I did get several insights from a really excellent conversation held on the topic via Twitter which did provide lots of food for thought (see my favourite tweet further down). I would love to hear your thoughts in a comment :)</div></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Intranetpub-published/~4/y_Y720wJa-M" height="1" width="1"/>http://intranetlounge.com/10-things-that-make-an-intranet-social-and-critical-Socialwrks#commentsFri, 03 Feb 2012 21:20:02 GMTSocialhttp://intranetlounge.com/10-things-that-make-an-intranet-social-and-critical-Socialwrks118027MSvcuB402jDqYIrbpsbASocial intranet & Collaborationadminhttp://intranetlounge.com/10-things-that-make-an-intranet-social-and-critical-Socialwrkshttp://intranetlounge.com/What-Screenshots-Cant-Tell-You-How-NCR-Made-NNGs-Best-Intranetshttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Intranetpub-published/~3/dQv-X9zTVp4/What-Screenshots-Cant-Tell-You-How-NCR-Made-NNGs-Best-Intranets<div><div><div>You Can't Judge an Intranet by its Homepage Dreissen writes: “Thanks for sharing, but may we see some screenshots of those intranets to understand why they won?!” This comment was interesting to me for one big reason; Dreissen and, I’m sure, many others like him believe that they could understand why an intranet “won” by looking at a screen shot. This belief is for me a chicken/egg type paradox. A seasoned experience professional with a trained eye on how to dissect a screen shot would never think that they could extrapolate from a screen shot reasons why that intranet was selected, and anyone who believes they could extrapolate does not have a trained enough eye to really dissect a screen shot in that level of detail.
