The intranet is the single most powerful tool at the disposal of a company which can drive competitive advantage. Some say it will be the distinguishing feature between a good and a great organisation.
“After I attended David’s course we revolutionised our intranet. Now it is the centre of our whole organisation. Staff cannot do anything without linking through it, key records are now updated. We are working much smarter and finding work more enjoyable” Practitioner of a small and successful practice in Dunedin
The intranet is now too important to leave solely in the hands of the IT team. Senior management, the finance team and staff need to get involved.
The intranet is simply the best communication tool a company/firm has. If used correctly the intranet will enhance performance, job satisfaction, communication and knowledge transfer between teams. In order to extract full value, your intranet needs to be driven and supported by all teams within a company.
