Social media and intranet case studies, best practices, & evolution by Toby Ward.
Re: Intranet Design Wars (back issue)
by Anonymous
Hi! I'm currently designing an intranet for a global conglomerate, starting with the chairman's office in Hong Kong. I've got a BIG project ahead of me. Majority of the company's knowledge workers speak Chinese, while a significant portion of the "top earners and influencers" speak English... Just the language barriers alone are enough worries, let alone syncing a handful of diverse businesses each with their own existing business processes. Thankfully, my boss sees my project as more of a business process streamlining effort rather than simply building a "website." Also of good news, the top execs are betting a lot on this--nearly everything. So...I'd appreciate a run through of the basics of what to read on this and other blogs for good pointers (I just googled this but am very impressed--just bookmarked!). Also, if I could see some screenshots of (what you believe are) good intranets. We're a pretty big company in total, but I'm starting small by designing an intranet for the chairman's office and the senior staff first, than expanding outward. Thanks! -Trent. trent.bigelow@stanchion.com
