Hi, I would like to thank everyone who participated in the quiz on and off the WSG.
Now to share the results with you. 1. Does your company have a single overarching intranet, which is the first point that everyone goes to, with sub sections for various groups OR do you have a separate site for each section or group within the company? 7 out of 8 respondents had an over-arching intranet home page. 2. Is your intranet built on a standard set of templates reflected across divisions, or are your sub sites or various intranets very different? 6 out of 8 respondents had a standard set of templates. 2 had more flexibility or less standardisation depending on how you look at it. 3. If a new service/resource was being launched in your organisation would the announcement be made via email or via the intranet? 5 of 8 would use email alone, or in combination with other announcements. 3 respondents had less of an email culture and would announce via the intranet. 4. Do you utilise any collaboration tools. (discussion boards, wikis, blogs etc?) If so do they enjoy a good level of user activity and participation? This question attracted the most diverse responses. From not using collaborative technologies much at all, to discussion boards which are hardly used, to good levels of activity. This has helped me realise that in some ways our intranet is going well. It's cohesively stored and managed. We are gaining traction with wikis and blogs, although discussion boards seem the most challenging to get engagement with. We need to work on building understanding of the importance of global navigation, and other issues relating to consistency. We need to emphasize information design over graphic design! Thanks again, Vanessa Toholka ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
