Owning an intranet is not the same as being responsible for it!

Two examples that can happen with your intranet: The HR department keeps all the employee data up to date for their own records, but they defer the responsibility for the 'People Find' to the owner of the intranet.

The IT department has delivered the intranet, it works fine and the roll out was a success. But after that they keep rolling out there own portals and platforms to the business. They see building the intranet only as an item on their work program.

There are some tasks that belong to the owner of the intranet and of course there must be:

• a main budget holder
• a chair of the editorial board
• a chair of the steering committee
• a unit to co-ordinate daily tasks
• a unit dealing with first line support
• a unit to co-ordinate with the IT department

But in all organizations, the intranet team must understand the difference between a need, and a perceived need. The distinction is that a business case can quantify the former, but people act on the latter.

In the case of intranets, many organizations have a need to streamline business processes, drive operational efficiencies, enhance communications and collaboration and secure a higher degree of employee engagement. But the executives at these organizations frequently don’t perceive how an intranet, and especially intranet 2.0 technology, can address these business requirements.

The pursuit of the Enterprise 2.0 utopia promised, described and promoted across the web has attracted the committed, the curious and the cautious. As we move further up the adoption curve the amount of success as well as failures increase. This is the second in a short, three part series about the common mistakes in Enterprise 2.0 strategies and how to avoid them.

The three common mistakes of E20 are:

1. Technology treated as an ends rather than a means.
2. IT as leading the business rather than supporting the business.
3. Information architecture that is walled and gated when there is no good reason for it to be that way.
