The Business Case for a Social Intranet - @TobyWard

A business case for an intranet is like the business case for a bathroom; you can live without them (and use others), but you’re a fool if you do.

Social media has morphed to the intranet, and the intranet is becoming increasingly social. However, like the Internet, email, telephone, and other business transforming technology, the need for a social intranet is more implicit, rather than explicit. We all need email, don’t we? But did you need a business case to get your corporate email account?

Start small, build quick, keep it cheap « Mark Morrell

While I was at the Employee Portal Evolution Masters conference I was struck by the number of organisations who were interested in using social media tools but were not sure what approach to take. To justify any investment funding you need to have a strong business case – even more so in these difficult economic times – that clearly shows the benefits to the organisation of adopting social media tools. That justification has to have good reasons backed up by clear evidence of how it benefits the organi...

The business case for social intranets by Oscar Berg:

As I argued in my previous post "Why traditional intranets fail knowledge workers", originally named “Serving the long tail of information needs”, there’s a long tail of information needs to be served within knowledge intensive enterprises and which traditional intranets don't manage to serve.

Organizations typically try to serve their employee's information needs by producing varying types of content (text, images, video…) which is intended to communicate a message to, inform, one or more employees....

Many ways of creating a compelling intranet business case - James Robertson

Business cases can be boring. Following a corporate template, the pre-defined gaps are filled in with standard text, and the document goes to whatever committee has to sign it off.

Before jumping straight into this, intranet teams can benefit from stepping back to look at the many ways a business case can be created and justified.

Finding compelling examples to build the intranet business case - Step Two Designs, Alex Manchester

For many intranet teams, funding and resourcing is incredibly tight. The intranet is often a poor cousin to an organisation’s public website, and its worth to the organisation is rarely demonstrated well.

Intranet teams also rarely have direct lines of communication to senior management who, as infrequent users of the site, have little understanding of its complexity or potential.

As a result, when it comes to getting funding for a new content management system (CMS), or developing and adding new applications and services, making the case is an uphill struggle.

Yet there is great potential in intranets; we only need to look at the winners of the Intranet Innovation Awards to see how useful, powerful and valuable intranets and related services can be.
