(NEW YORK, NY) Jane McConnell's 2009 Global Intranet Stategies Survey is now live (until the end of August). This is the 4th annual survey; last year 226 organizations participated. The survey has become the reference for knowing what is happening in intranets. Participants will receive a complimentary copy of the "Global Intranet Trends for 2010" which will be published in the second part of October.


See the topics covered in this year's survey.


Among the learnings last year:


  • C-level executives now participate on the intranet steering committees of half of the respondent companies that have a steering committee (about 1/3 of the respondent companies have a steering committee; roughly 1/6th of the total respondents therefore have a senior executive actively involved)

  • Only 45% have networks or communities of practice for content contributors

  • Only 36% of the organizations have “clearly designated business owners for content”

  • only 1% stage 1 intranets have wikis in general use (optimized); 35% are testing intranets (n some parts)

  • 10% of stage 3 intranets have wikis in general use (optimized); 74% are testing intranets (in some parts)

  • 2% of stage 3 intranets have wikis in general use (optimized); 30% are testing intranets (in some parts)


Here's what other readers of the report have said:


  • "Great survey, really got me thinking about the Intranet and portal. Just answering the questions felt beneficial - so I really, really cannot wait for the report!"

  • "Not only this is a moment when we pause and realize what we do, but it's also food for thoughts, research and projects." from a 3-time participant

  • "With the help of my colleagues we have completed the survey. We all found it very interesting and it has also provided us with some helpful self-analysis questions. It will be interesting to see the consolidated information."
