Specific - *exactly* what are you trying to achieve and who is the target
audience?
Measurable – how is it measured, what is it now, what is the target
measurement?

Intranet alone?

14. LEARN
It’s a
cycle of
progress
LISTEN
• To the organisation you serve
• To what is working for others
• To the best research
ACT
• Try something
• See what happens
• Measure the results
LEARN
• What works and what fails
• What should change
• What to do differently
REPEAT
• Integrate what works
• Try a new experiment
• Continually improve impact
15. Intranet projects fail or don't live up to their potential
because they lack direction, have low perceived
value to the organisation, lack ownership and suffer
poor adoption.
DON’T LET YOURS BE ONE OF THEM
Notas del editor
Read it out – set the reason why it’s important
When, say, Nike want to create and launch a new pair of shoes, they do their market research. They might look at:
Who is my customer?
What are their needs and desires?
What is their price point?
What’s the best way to talk to them?
What is fashionable?
Surveys, focus groups, interviews, job shadowing
Research ensures you understand your future users and it literally shapes what you execute
You cannot spend too long getting to know your target audience but yet it is the part most often overlooked
Consider creating some persona types so you can keep referring back to them
Don’t forget your stakeholders
What is the business need that this project is intending to address?
What is it that we are fixing, trying to improve or solve?
How does this project fit in with the organization’s business strategy?
Is this a priority
How will we know if the project is a success?
Most common outcomes from an intranet project. Garnter/Forrester all reference these in their material and are the common ‘why’s?’ we see at Interact.
