Using the Intranet to Inform, Inspire and Engage Your Users

Do you understand what makes a well-designed intranet, one that enables you to disseminate information effectively and deliver enterprise social collaboration?

A good intranet takes years to create - but there are shortcuts and obtaining sound advice and best practice guidance can help you avoid some of the pitfalls - saving your organisation both time and money. Today the intranet should be so much more than the place where company policy and procedure can be found. In fact with a little thought and planning it can become a key tool in delivering enterprise social collaboration and communicating your organisation’s culture and values. Make your intranet an indispensable work tool for your organisation and the go-to place for all your employees.
