Intranets - Build it and they might come... Build it cool, and they likely will

I love to connect with industry peers... There's little I find as gratifying as sharing experiences and learning from like-minded folks.

I was chatting with such a group last week and the topic of Intranets came up. They mentioned a very common problem and asked if we suffered similar pains. Specifically, they're struggling with hundreds of disparate Intranet sites across their company... No standards, no common infrastructure, no commonalities whatsoever. A common story, right?

We suffered similar in recent years. I'd be misrepresenting if I suggested we've completely nailed it. We haven't - but have indeed make tremendous progress around unifying the once disconnected experience. While culture is always a dynamic ingredient, I think the path towards unifying your internal web experience can be relatively straightforward.
