There’s been no shortage of people saying that social computing represents the next wave of the corporate intranet, the latter being a piece of technology that’s been perpetually disappointing. For a place that’s supposed to be the starting point of people’s day, it has never lived up to that expectation.

The first wave of intranets were static, imposing too much friction for end-users who wanted to post new information. People had to wait for their IT department to hack HTML code and update the page. Then came the second generation of intranets — the self-service variety — that brought more functional use, but ultimately the most time you spent there was during your first and last week working at the company. They also lacked a critical element: People. Who does what? And who can help me get my job done better?

Since Apple launched its App Store, over 1bn applications have been downloaded. This year, it expanded the idea to cover its Mac computers and sold 1 million apps on its day of launch. Given such unequivocal success, are there things that we might learn for the intranet world?

The idea could be translated several ways. Perhaps intranet interfaces should look more like a collection of apps than a web site? Or could it be a way for employees to create a personalised experience? Both of these have merit, but what I feel has most potential in the near term is a third version: an app store for intranet site owners.

The global intranet manager should govern the intranet, not manage it. The word “governance” is often used to cover both, but we should in fact make a distinction:

• Governance is a steering framework that defines strategic goals, decision-making (who and how), accountability, and procedures for reconciling differences.

• Management, on the other hand, refers to how the governance decisions and principles are put into practice. For example: the definition of guidelines and rules, life-cycle steps, processes, editorial policies, standardization, and so on.

Intranet managers responsible for large intranet eco-systems should focus on governing, not managing. Their vocation should be to help bring meaning and relevance for people using these systems.

It all used to be so simple: your corporate intranet would be owned and managed by your internal communications team; your corporate internet site by your external communications, by your investor relations team or your marketing team; and your extranet managed by your sales and customer development departments.

Whilst each had a technology foundation, it was likely that there was no common CMS, little commonality of content or functionality. These three were technological islands, organisationally distinct and with clear strategic differences.

An intranet roadmap is a way to communicate, at a high level, how an intranet will evolve. In some ways it is a bridge between a strategy and a project plan, and the people who benefit most from it are often the power users and site owners that make up an extended intranet community but may not be part of the core team.

Business managers in charge of their organization’s intranet are constantly faced with the challenge to stay on top of their game. They need to cut through hyped-up vendor announcements and media overload to find out which trends are actually important for them. At J. Boye we regularly discuss these subjects with our members in our many intranet groups, as well as with other intranet experts. Last year, Janus blogged about 5 key intranet trends for business managers.
