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?
