Top Intranet Trends According to the IBF
Top Intranet Trends: Usability, Access, Personalization: A report from the Global Benchmarking Forum sponsored from the Intranet Benchmarking Forum. The top five trends are reported to be:
“High Level Process and Workflow”
“Universal Access”
“Lovely User Experience and Full Accessibility”
“Culture and Brand Experience”
“Collaboration and Community”
There’s considerable expansion on each at the link above. One note I found interesting (if not astounding):
[…] the IBF is currently working on a financial valuation tool to offer to members. This tool is able to provide a financial valuation, the elusive return-on-investment, for company intranets. “A recent evaluation of a trivial meeting room booking capability on a member company’s Intranet (with 17,000 plus employees) were savings of over $10 million per annum,” noted Miller.
Saving $10M booking conference rooms? Perhaps they should have fewer meetings?
