Thanks to Steve Osborne for sharing his knowledge on Statistics & Benchmarking Intranets, it was a very successful event with over 50 attendees.

Steve shared some interesting facts about intranets that Interact have surveyed, for example it is possible to get 25% of users to participate in forums. He also shared different ways you can measure the success of your intranet, what per cent of users comment on documents & blogs?

This is one in a series of posts from our Real Intranet Manager Interviews where we highlight the creative and thoughtful people behind successful intranets of all types.

Tanis Roadhouse’s social intranet marathon

Just two days after I spoke with Tanis Roadhouse, the Collaboration & Intranet Manager for MD Physican Services / Canadian Medical Association (CMA), she ran her first marathon, a fitting metaphor for her social intranet success. Even though MD Physician Services and the CMA implemented out-of-the-box social intranet software (ThoughtFarmer) for their shared intranet Verve, they didn’t go live until a full year after Tanis first started the project.

The intranet team spent much of that year rigorously gathering requirements, engaging stakeholders, learning and planning in the lead up to launching Verve. And while they had a very successful launch in February 2011, it wasn’t seen as the end of the project; rather it was really just the start of the second phase.

To understand their project and their blueprint for success, it’s important to first learn about Tanis’ background.

Your average intranet giant

William Amurgis stands eight feet tall, has biceps the width of oak tree branches and has a booming voice louder than a fog horn. He’s a giant of intranet management. Literally. Well, figuratively, actually.

William describes himself as completely average, yet his team’s intranet accolades tell a different story. The AEP intranet won the Nielsen Norman Group’s annual Intranet Design Awards in 2007 and Step Two Design’s Intranet Innovation Awards in 2009. William speaks regularly on intranets and when I interviewed him, he had just returned to the office from one of the many presentations he gives at IABC (The International Association of Business Communicators) meetings.

Tell us a little bit about the project and its history.

The BC Public Service, an organization of 30,000 employees across an immense (and gorgeous) province, relaunched its corporate intranet in April 2010. In just 50 working days from development to production, a tiny team built an interactive intranet to support employee communications and collaboration. This work was completed within the existing site budget using an open-source platform.

Obviously you had an intranet before. What worked well with the past version? What were the biggest problems?

@Work already had a robust user base and was the main communications vehicle for the BC Public Service. What worked well on the old site was the use of rich content to attract viewers: corporate announcements, employee profiles, executive updates, videos and audiocasts. Readers participated in weekly polls, and a comment board was most visited portion of the site.
