Intranets Forum meeting - March 2007

The UKeiG Intranets Forum held last month at the Royal College of Nursing focused on planning your intranet strategy. A meeting report will appear in the next edition of eLucidate. As a taster, here are some points noted on flipcharts during the discussion part of the meeting.

Reasons why some of the attendees didn't currently have a strategy:
Lack of resources
Other priorities
Lack of an e-communications manager
Confused ownership of the intranet

What should be in the strategy document?
Reflect organisational issues
Reflect the culture or create a new culture
Where are we now and where are we going
Define content to be included on intranet
Performance/improvement measurables e.g. paper saving targets
Resources required to deliver developments

For acceptance of a strategy
Board champion
Steering group

Keep in short! So readable

Next meeting to be held on Thursday 7th June at the TUC offices, Great Russell Street, London. WC1B 3LS. The theme: information architecture. Details to follow very soon.
