Building a solid intranet strategy is key to long-term success. Here are the essential steps to get it right:
Define the intranet’s purpose by aligning it with your business goals—whether it's enhancing communication, streamlining processes, or improving collaboration. A clear role ensures the intranet drives meaningful outcomes for the organization.
Once the intranet’s purpose is clear, focus on how it will achieve that purpose. Identify the features and capabilities that align with your business goals, such as knowledge sharing, employee self-service, or document management. A well-aligned strategy ensures the intranet becomes a vital business tool.
Regularly measure and evaluate the intranet’s performance to track user engagement, content effectiveness, and overall results. Set key performance indicators to gauge success and continuously adjust the strategy to meet evolving needs.
Form a governance team to oversee the intranet’s strategy, development, and day-to-day operations. This team ensures the intranet remains aligned with your business objectives and adapts to changing user needs.
For your intranet to thrive, employees must see its value. Communicate how the intranet will benefit them—improving access to information, collaboration, and efficiency. Showcasing how it simplifies their workday encourages engagement and adoption from day one.
