- 32. These are real quotes
- 34. Simon Evans “ Today a site owner sent me a link to their new intranet site an ad agency created for them. One of its most prominent features? A Flash-animated puppy that did nothing but sit there and wag its tail at you”. http://www.intranetsecrets.com/
- 39. Simon Evans http://www.intranetsecrets.com/ “ Apparently our wiki is not in line with our 'content strategy' so our IT department refuses to support it. But nobody knew that we had a content strategy. IT wrote it and hasn't shared it with anybody.”
- 40. Simon Evans “ Our intranet was so $#!(*+ my team created our own version, outside the blessed firewall. And it was lovely” http://www.intranetsecrets.com/
- 41. Simon Evans So are you really in control?
- 42. Simon Evans Missing or poor governance What is the root cause of all these?
- 43. Simon Evans Does it support your business strategy? Do you know? What would happen if you switched it off? Are people getting benefit from it? How? Do you know how much it costs? Should we be asking these questions? Why do you have an intranet?
- 44. Simon Evans What happens if you don’t govern? Reinvention of the wheel (or loss of the wheel!) Proliferation of sites with no value (vanity-ware) Litigation & compliance risks appear Poor content quality Poor search and inconsistent navigation Content arranged by organisation not process No central view of cost Intranet becomes a distraction not a benefit
- 45. Simon Evans In short..... Frustration Anger Shouting FUD Blame Failure P45
- 47. No clear strategic direction , - “Why do we have an intranet?” No agreed framework or “rule book” – no criteria against which decisions can be made or justified No committed senior level sponsorship
- 48. Simon Evans Domination by IT people and issues Mixing strategic issues with operational leading to loss of interest by senior people “ Not my day job” – people too busy to contribute effectively
- 49. Senior managers resistant to change Fragmented business environments, no consensus Members of the team are there as delegates of the senior team – must refer decisions
- 50. Simon Evans POLITICS GETS IN THE WAY! The BIG one!
- 51. Simon Evans So... How do we sort it out? A Structure for Governance 1: WHY? Understand why governance is important and get appropriate Sponsorship and a mandate to act 2: WHAT are you governing? What is your Strategic Vision? What do you want to get out of your intranet for your business? What is the benefits plan? 3: HOW will you govern? What is the framework of rules and standards against you will make your decisions? 4: WHO w ill govern and how will this be organised?

Editor's Notes
- This slide holds until JR comes on to speak.
- Good morning… Thank you for attending todays event. For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Jason and I am Views CEO. Best job in the world! This was our first LinkedIn… So, we’ve got a pretty packed morning planned for you but before we get started… … I just want to make sure that you’ve all wandered into the right room this morning! So hopefully this question will help get us started! Raise your hand if your organisition has an intranet today… Now keep your hand up IF you think your organisation would struggle if the intranet was switched off today.
- The truth is we know that every intranet that we’ve worked on, is very different one from the other. Take a second to consider the following statements and decide which one of these holds most true about your intranet. If you answered A, raise your hand. If you answered B, raise your hand. If you answered C, raise your hand. If you answered D, raise your hand. Interesting result – so many of you answered A or B .. Stick around at the end because clearly we need to be picking YOUR brains! Interesting result – so many of you answered C or D .. And we know the feeling – though, at 2014 it will be Renknapp, so we’re hopeful!
- Before we get started I wanted to tell you a little about View, for those of you that haven’t heard of us. We’ve been around for over 17 years and during that time our one constant has been the corporate clients we service. We’re aware that not many people have heard of us, but that’s because we don;’t really shout about our successes. Rather, we like to get on with doing what we do best for our clients, and that’s DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS.
- Whilst our strategy to the types of client we like to work with has remained the same throughout the years, the channels we’ve engaged in on their behalfs is obviously constantly changing. And what we prefer to do, instead of shouting about our successes, is to focus on being thought leaders in our field. Our digital swervices span many areas, from websites, intranets and broader digital strategy and roadmaping. We use these events as our chance to give something back. We’ve hosted past events on corporate social networking, digital strategy and corporate websites too – the Viewpoints in front of you have been released at each event and you’ll be amongst the lucky few to receive our latest 5 th edition hot off the press next week (my way of saying there’s been a balls up with the printers!!).
- At View we’ve helped a many leading organisations to make sense of their challenges and work with them to create intranets that work for the business. As you’ll see, our experience crosses a number of different industries and a nultitude of areas – from design and branding, content, governance and strategy. So rather appropriately, being in the Hospital Club - if we were doctors, and our client intranets our patience - then safe to say we’ve seen it all - warts and all! And having worked on the range of intranets that we have had the privilege to be involved with,
- So today, having worked on the range of intranets that we have had the privilege to be involved with we are delighted to be able to stand here today and offer our insights and thoughts on what it takes to create a successful intranet. And whilst no two intranets are the same, there are certainly some commonalities – themes if you like – which are relevant to all intranet, no matter what your organisation does – and these are some of the things we want to share with you this morning.
- So, I think you’ve heard enough from me and we’re ready to dive into some of the We’ve worked to give you a real 360 degree perspective on intranets. We’ve got Clara Birmingham [Job Title] from Rentokil Initial. For those of you that are not familiar with Rentokil Initial, they are a sprawling global organisation, with a wide range of office and non office based staff. Clara works closely on defining Rentokil’s intranet strategy and has recently overseen a recent, radical, upgrade programme. So, I am personally very grateful to Clara for agreeing to be with us here this morning. We’ve also got Simon Evans. After being responsible for GSK’s intranet governance, Simon consults on governance and innovation, with a particular focus on intranets. Finally, we’ve got our own creative director Mark Smith who has played a pivotal role in establishing roadmaps and upgrade plans for, well pretty much most of our intranet projects. For those of you that don’t need to rush off after we finish (which should be by around 10:00), then we’ll also be hosting an open panel with all our speakers and other consultants from View who are dotted around the room. So you’ll have a good chance to pick our brains a little further.
- Thank you Andy. Good morning everyone. I just wanted to spend some time with you discussing some trends within the corporate digital space, and what they may mean for you as communications specialists and your organisation.

- Drawing inspriration is a good starting point. And there is so much out there. LinkedIn groups like Intranet Professionals and Worldwide intranet challenge.
- Slide share is loaded with relevant presentations – including many clients sharing their intranets
- Intranet Design Annual 2011 and IBF
- Workshops…
- Before we open up the panel to questions, we wanted to make this pretty exciting offer to you for your attending today. For those of you who feel you’re ready to explore the possibilities, we’re running a small competition with two different prizes on offer. We’re giving away 3 free intranet audits. The audits will result in a strategic report highlighting the strong and weak parts of your intranet as well as giving you strategic recommendations for improvements that you could be considering. The other prize, is an interactive workshop, which we will run on you behalf. The idea of the workshop is to arrive at the same point as with the audit – strategic recommendations – but where the recommendations are driven by the attendees of the workshop. We’re giving away 3 of each and if you’d like to be entered into the random draw, please drop your business cards – into the container on your way out, or kindly let us know on the questionairres on your table. We’ll be starting the Q&A with the panel in 5 minutes for those of you that would like to stick around please feel free to wait here and could I kindly ask you all to complete the questionairres so that we can hear your thoughts on how the useful the morning has been for you.
- Q&A with the panel!
