Global intranet trends - 2009
Jane McConnell, Globally local…locally global
• Collaboration features and horizontal information flows are weak.
•Many intranets are inflexible and risk losing their “raison d’etre”.
• Dissatisfaction with search is expressed by 50 percent of the organizations.
•Management is getting more involved.
• Social media are slowly finding their place behind the firewall.
• Dissatisfaction with search is 10 percent lower than last year!
3 downsides 3 upsides

What is governance?
![Page 9: Intranet Governance](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061106/5446afd9afaf9f59178b473c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A definition
Intranet governance is framework for managing, supporting and improving the intranet.
It aligns people and technology to realise business value.

Why governance now?
![Page 11: Intranet Governance](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061106/5446afd9afaf9f59178b473c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

A big driver
“As people embrace social media in their private lives, they naturally expect to use similar tools within the enterprise. This is especially true for younger workers who use these tools in everyday life. Open communication, collaboration, and content generation are as much a part of their standard toolkit as using a computer or mobile phone.”
“Taking the slow road means that companies will risk losing workers who expect innovation in the outside world to reflect directly on how they communicate at work.”
“Going for quick adoption means that companies must find ways to overcome the risks to corporate culture that adopting these tools can entail.”

So, why governance now?
Intranet is now considered to be a valuable business asset (finally) and is beginning to be treated as one
The era of interaction & contribution is upon us
Staff are more dependant on digital content (and increasing so on people content)

one should I use?• This policy dates to 1997, is it still in force?• What does form_11033.2 stand for?

my email quota?• How do I share files with people in different
departments?

Rethinking existing processesI have 25 folders in my S-drive, how do I get the same in collaboration spaces?
I can directly send documents to my partners by e-mail, how can I do it in collaboration spaces?
I share information using e-mail, can the collaboration space capture my e-mail and archive it?
