Aussie guru James Robertson has written a very precise and succinct piece to describe a successful intranet. 10 words to describe successful intranets is a great list:
- Innovative
- Trusted
- Productive
- Useful
- Pervasive
- Usable
- Essential
- Collaborative
- Coherent
- Strategic
There’s only one word I’d add to this list: ‘asynchronous’ (or interactive). High-powered intranets promote active, two-way or asynchronous communications between the organization and employee users. The true value of an intranet is not in just pushing information to employees, but engaging both sides in an ongoing dialogue while promoting individual, team and enterprise collaboration.
