Global Intranet Survey 2010 Now Open
The 5th edition of the Global Intranet Strategies Survey has just opened. If you signed up and have not received your personalized link by email, get in touch.
What’s new in year 5?
A broader scope
We start by looking briefly at new enterprise business models. This is essential if we want to understand where the enterprise is going and what business value the intranet should and will be providing.
The internal-external blend
We also explore how the internal and external worlds interact. Today intranet managers can no longer limit their job scope to the internal world: our survey can no longer treat the intranet as a purely internal tool.
Strategy and scope of the intranet
Intranets are becoming more mature, more business-oriented, more user-friendly. But there are still many challenges left. We explore the different “pieces” that make up the intranet, how they fit together, overall strategy drivers, entry page strategies, team and community spaces and more.
Social media strategies and maturity
We’re taking a snapshot of how organizations are moving on social media. We have investigated this for 3 years and are asking some tough questions this time around. We look at whether social media strategies are top-down, bottom-up or both. We explore how social media is embedded in processes and how user adoption is encouraged. We will be able to see how early adopters’ approaches compare to enterprises with less experience.
Emphasis on business value
Measurement and business value have traditionally been the weak points in intranet management and communication. That’s one of the reasons senior management are not sufficiently on board. A number of question deal with business value from different angles. I’m expecting to get valuable insights and examples from leading companies around the world.
Governance and management
We look at ownership, roles and responsibilities for the overall workplace web. Intranet managers can no longer limit their scope to the traditional intranet. The collaboration and social media aspects are all part of the user experience. The governance and management of these dimensions need to fit together.

Jane,
Looking forward to completing this and finding out the latest trends to help me develop BT’s intranet further.
I’m hoping it will compliment some research http://markmorrell.wordpress.com/2010/05/19/im-just-trying-to-keep-the-customer-satisfied/ and http://markmorrell.wordpress.com/2010/05/21/2010-bt-intranet-user-research-update/ we have done which you may want to comment upon.

Hi Jane – We’ve participated in this survey over the last few years and are looking forward to contributing and seeing the latest trends once more.
With the ever changing intranet environment — from static content to dynamic portals to SharePoint 2010 — it’s good to be able to keep on top of best practices and what others are learning. No matter the size of the organization, we continue to learn from each other. Thank you.

Thanks Candace and Mark! I’m looking forward to seeing the consolidated data this year. I have already taken a peak – some interesting things showing up. One in particular about stakeholders working in silos. Stay tuned!
