Simplicity and ease-of-use are the cornerstones of our intranet software. It’s not uncommon to hear the phrase “keep it simple” thrown around our office a couple of times a week. Naturally we believe that the K.I.S.S principle should be applied to all areas of your intranet implementation and have put together the following tips to help you be a good KISS’er:

Compelling, creative, addictive and a key tool in improving employee engagement. This isn’t the way most intranet managers would describe their sites. But that could all be about to change.

The use of game theory and gaming mechanics in business application development is intensifying day by day, and there are already a number of examples where lightweight gaming mechanics are being integrated with intranets and related information systems.

In this article I’ll look at how gaming mechanics are in use in business, how this innovative stream of application design could be coming to your business soon and why, together with other principles, it might help fulfil a vision for the future of intranets.

Do you wonder how your intranet gets used on a daily basis? What information are users looking for? What tasks are being performed? How can you maximize the use of your intranet?

The answers to these questions can help enhance user experience and improve the usability and effectiveness of your intranet.

Many web projects end up in a conflict between the 'business units' and IT.

Who’s right most often? HR, IT or Communications?

The departments that are correct are the ones that best work together. I have seen many bad examples.

• But at the end it are the people who have to do it, not the departments.

• The department that is most right, employs people that best try to understand others and actively try to work together.

• These departments have a culture where sharing (knowledge, ownership and responsibility) is actively promoted.

Actually both parties are right, but what I really noticed in the discussions was a lack of trust in the capabilities and intentions of the others on both sides. This is a management issue and it is not so hard to solve. But people have to step over old grieves first.

I am still amazed at how the legitimate boundaries of intranets are being pushed away from information management.

At Claromentis almost all new projects now include bespoke applications as part of the Intranet - long may it continue!

As professionals we discuss design, usability and best practice in information management - but basically these are well understood and I see a massive increase in value when the intranet includes significant applications that make a real difference to operations.

At the core of the structure of many intranets is the organisation chart. This is not surprising as many intranets grow organically with little central control. Business teams create their own areas on the intranet, include information about what they do, and disseminate it to their internal clients.

While matching the organisational structure is often the easiest approach for an intranet, it doesn’t serve the needs of many staff.
