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 & Power” and the “Worklist”, both also very interesting in their own right.

Love Machine describes itself as “cool new employee recognition system” which allows users to “send a little bit of love” through the enterprise via short tha...

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.

What A Screenshot Can Tell You...

In November I was in Stockholm for Intranätdagarna 2011:2 (The Intranet Days 2011:2) and during my two-day visit to the Swedish capital, I had the pleasure of talking to Paul Miller from Intranet Benchmarking Forum. Among other things we spent some time talking about the proclaimed death of intranets which I believe is greatly exaggerated.

Since then I have started at my third intranet related job at a new company and this has given me an opportunity to get a closer look behind the scenes of an intranet...

Time tends to pass more quickly than we would like. Sometimes it is helpful to reflect on what you have accomplished, and to derive what you have learned from the experiences. These "lessons learned" may then be leveraged by yourself or others in the future. Occasionally, an external event will motivate this self reflection.

The 2012 Edelman Trust Barometer, published last week, finds a deepening sense of distrust in governments, businesses and institutions. The annual global study, which questioned 30,000 people in 25 countries, reveals a dramatic shift in the value people place in information sources – which, in turn, has some interesting implications for communicators and intranet managers.

Across the globe, blame for the financial and political chaos of 2011 landed at the doorstep of government, as trust in that institution fell nine points to 43 per cent. In seventeen of the 25 countries surveyed, government is now trusted by less than half to do what is right. In twelve, it trails business, media and non-governmental organizations as the least trusted institution.

As you will know, I have helped many colleagues with setting up SharePoint Team Sites. These could be simple project sites, mainly used for sharing documents, but also sites where important processes were facilitated. My clients were very diverse. Each initial interview was therefore exciting. What kind of person would be in front of me? The Hesitator, the System-Lover or the Ideal Partner? Or the person who inspired the 80-120 rule? Read on!

The second week back in the office after the Christmas and New Year break is the oddest time, the holiday break feels very distant already. It’s a great time to propose ideas, plan out and prepare yourself for the intranet year ahead. So, what do we think 2012 has in store?

Here’s the intranetizen 2012 prediction list:

• Austerity measures and the Olympics will drive companies to enable more home working

The intranet as a ‘digital workplace’ will become a step more real and more people will be encouraged to stay home and use the intranet to share documents and collaborate.

• SharePoint maintains position, but 2012 is the year of the augmented social

And a few more...

Meetings. We all have them. Most of us dread them. Lately, I’ve been wondering – have meetings become an unnecessary evil in the corporate world? Think about how many times you have thought, “Wow, this is a waste of my time. I have more important things I could be doing right now.”

While this is probably true, I believe meetings are wasting more than just your time – they are wasting the company’s money as well. (Time equals money, right?) This b...
