For
those old-school organizations that are on the outside looking in at
intranet 2.0, the biggest barrier is executive support. In other
words, another 40 – 50% of organizations have managers or senior
managers that want to roll out social media on the intranet, but the
executive suite is handcuffing their good intentions. 34% of
respondents state that the biggest barrier to intranet 2.0 is
executive support. Many executives are concerned, scared, or plain
apathetic to those Web 2.0 technologies they've seen on the Internet,
and cannot mentally bridge the gap to employees via the intranet.
Related
to the lack of executive support is the lack of a business case,
cited by 32% of respondents that don't have intranet 2.0 tools in use.
To this end, executives need to be sold on the value of intranet 2.0
and want to see the business case. Intranet managers are having a
difficult time making the business case and even understanding the
inherent or nascent value of social media for employees.
The
barrier to implementation and success however is blocking
understanding at all levels of the organization: “Lack of
understanding by both management and staff,” says one survey
respondent. Another cites cultural barriers and the “lack of an
open culture.”
Full
results of the Intranet 2.0 Global Study will be released in the New
Year, accompanied by recommendations on how to overcome these
barriers and implement these new technologies with success.
