Intranet and typical website are alike in some cases, except one distinctive feature of intranet that gives full protection. While websites allow public access to any one online, only those with password permission are allowed to access intranet. Therefore, company intranet has become a great alternative and definite way to share information among employees, clients, and partners through the use of Internet. 

To build an intranet for your company or home-based office, first of all, you will have to ...

If you had to guess what my most viewed internal blog at Google is, I bet you think it's something like "latest innovations", "cool product launches", or "musings of Eric"... well I can tell you it's none of those...

You see, my most used internal blog is something that I use pretty much every day, I get delivered via RSS and email just in case I miss it, and I usually make a point of reading it before 11am. I even have a special label for the subscriptions in my gmail inbox. It's highly relevant to my location, and it actually gets printed out on a daily basis too. In fact I'd say this has the attention of most Googlers in London.

At the start of October we introduced the next step in our strategy to improve engagement with news stories on the intranet. A month later we are seeing a 53% increase in traffic.

Nothing clever. It's a simple text box containing a bulleted list of links to past stories.  A maximum of 3 links, with some...

Too many intranet pages try to persuade, educate and, sometimes, lecture the reader when all the reader wants to do is get stuff done. And fast. Information might be the lifeblood of your company and your intranet, but acting on that information is where the benefits arise.

If you have drop-down menus, are they focussed on departments and teams, or are they focused on helping people with their work? In either case, a simple menu that helps people achieve common tasks may well be what’s needed.

It started with a card sorting study of a tourism website. On individual cards were tasks such as accommodation, vacation packages, planning a trip, top attractions, special offers, etc.

In workshops, I would go through a time-consuming process of getting people to put these cards into groups with the objective of helping this website design a more intuitive navigation. But the exercise was cumbersome and it was often hard to see clear results coming out of it.

I've been telling colleagues for years what's wrong with today's corporate intranets. Usually, they were shocked about my point of view: Write access for everyone! How, hell, could this fit with a corporate environment?

Wikis = Chaos!! Oh?

Typically, the first reaction to my call for égalité was, "We don't want Wikis, Wikis are chaos!" (Okay, you're a centralized person, and you don't know how to run a Wiki project. Acknowledged, thank you.) Of course, Wikis are fundamentally different to websites...

The biggest problem in getting to know our customers is that they don't know themselves.

Years ago, British Airways (BA) decided to introduce a new service for its first class passengers on long haul flights. It was basically a mini fridge full of goodies so that if you woke up in the middle of the night feeling a little hungry, you could get something nice for yourself. The question was: What do we put into this little fridge?

BA dutifully did its market research and assembled several focus groups of first and business class passengers. What would you like, they asked? The response was universal. People wanted fruit or perhaps some light salads. All very good. All very healthy.
