accepting the unfinished: your ever-evolving intranet

Accepting the unfinished: your ever-evolving intranet

Martyn Perks @martynperks thinking apart ltd

Corporate culture is never fixed:Therefore how can systems keep up?


Stop trying to be perfect:Speed is more important than perfect tools



Intranets are the means not the ends:If the tools more important, then its a problem

Recognise that business goals change:Therefore don’t adopt a fixed position


Intranets are really just platforms:Infrastructure that free up content


Build straight out of the box:Bespoke is a luxury that you can ill afford


Switch between standard components:With standards, experiment with what works


Governance that encourages:Open ended instead of locking down risks


• An example

When technology is less important:You concentrate on the business problems


Debate

• Is the traditional behemoth intranet dead?• Are tools more important than the platform?• How do you manage this?
