I just wanted to write a post about the three hours it took me to teach a colleague how to publish videos on the intranet (and that only covers half of the work), and about that I’m looking forward to calculating a business case for the new solution we’ve been discussing for more then a year.
This morning, I got the amazing news: My project has been approved by the management board. We will build a new intranet. I started to work on the first proposals in November 2007 – so that were really really long discussions.
Now it’s signed; the main requirements we want to meet are:
- build a portal that’s accessible for everybody from every country we’re operating in
- introduce publication processes that talk with one voice to everybody (same content, same time, all audiences)
- introduce permission management and closed usergroups where necessary
- introduce group-personalisation to create different views on the content for different audiences
- enhance the corporate directory towards an enterprise network
- carefully introduce well planned blogs and microblogs with attractive authors
- provide wikis as collaboration-, documentation and knowledgemanagement tools (knowledgemanagement projects are running in parallel)
- use tags as additional navigation- and categorisation tools, introduce rss for easier and for flexible customization
- support and train employees especially with increasing their media literacy
Detailed planning will continue now, I will keep posting and I’m looking forward to comments and discussions.
