2. The development of The
Intranet(By Toby Ward)
•
Version 1.0: Welcome page (a welcome message and a phone number)
•
Version 1.1: Bulletin board (simple communications)
•
Version 1.2: Corporate newsletter (structured news & limited document
management)
•
Version 1.3: Help Desk (simple transactions like the employee directory)
•
Version 1.4: Corporate Store (more complex transactions such as e-HR and
self-service)
•
Version 1.5: The Portal (authorization, authentication, application &
database integration)
•
The trail has lengthened considerably as of late with the advancement of
social media, and the intranet has made an evolutionary leap to version 2.0
or “ The social intranet.”

41. How to grow a community: Adapted
from the ideas of Jimmy Wales
• The starting point: People
• These are people - These are your people – Identifying:
what do you want to accomplish together?
• Design priorities/goals:
• Make the necessary critical mass as small as possible
• Make your community as useful as possible as fast as
possible
• Freedom & innovation
• Let people and groups find their own way and fulfill their
own goals. People create the value.

45. Conclusions
• People are the key resource – the social intranet
•
•
•
•
should above all encourage communication and
interaction
The benefits of the social intranet can only be
achieved through user centric and organization
specific planning and design
Rome wasn’t build in a day – start small and pick the
low hanging fruit. Make sure the intranet is useful
from day 1 and support and motivate users tirelessly
– lead by example
Use technologically efficient and easy-to-use tools /
tech that inspires and induces users to engage.
Confluence rules!
