It is true that learning about the intranet industry and best practices is much harder than learning from the intranet’s richer, high profile cousin the Internet. Case studies and conferences are a good source of intelligence. Another great resource is research.

Here’s a chance to participate in a great research project that will deliver you some valuable benchmarking and research intelligence… Jane McConnell is conducting a global intranet study calle "Intranet Strategies Today & Tomorrow -  in Large, Complex (and often Global) Organisations"

The survey covers broad strategic issues (decision making, budgeting, measurement & evaluation, governance) and specific strategic issues (language & translation policies, home page strategies, collaboration strategies, management & resources, processes & applications) and future trends for intranets.

All participants in the study are offered:

  • A Full Report: "Intranet Strategies Today & Tomorrow -  in Large, Complex (and often Global) Organisations" (analysis, charts and details from the consolidated information).
  • An Executive Summary which  may be useful for communicating with  Senior Management and intranet colleagues.
  • The rights to publish the report on their intranet and print as many copies as they wish for internal use.
  • The means to benchmark their intranet(s) by comparing their answers (in the Word questionnaire document) with the consolidated answers in the full report.

If you’d like to be a participant, please email Jane directly at jane@netjmc.com.

The survey is detailed and requires a minimum of 30 minutes to respond. Jane notes however that…  “I realize 30 minutes is long, but I believe the depth and breadth of the results will be worth it."

More than 50 global companies/organisations are confirmed to participate.
