Only two weeks left for Intranet Innovation Awards

It's only two weeks until entries close for the first annual Intranet Innovation Awards. This is a great opportunity to get some recognition within your organisation, as well as in the wider community (nothing beats having an award-winning intranet!).

It's worth highlighting again that entries are for specific improvements (no matter how small), and not for intranets as a whole. Here's some ideas to get the creative juices flowing:

• innovative staff directory (phone directory) capabilities
• effective personalisation of the site to target key user needs
• innovative delivery of policy and procedures
• improvements to the design of the home page
• innovative search engine
• effective navigation
• innovative use of team-based collaboration tools
• implementing knowledge sharing facilities across multiple business areas
• innovative approaches that enhance corporate culture
• integration of instant messaging or SMS into the intranet
• effective use of wikis, blogs or other collaborative writing tools
• provision of news channels or RSS delivery mechanisms
• creation of an innovative call centre knowledgebase
• delivery of powerful functionality to target a key staff role
• use of mobile devices to help field staff
• creation of tools that aggregate key information to support day-to-day work by operational staff
• innovative online forms capabilities
• effective online travel booking system
• powerful self-service HR capabilities
• implementing highly-usable portal capabilities
• seamless integration of key applications into the intranet

The awards are global, open to organisations in the public and private sectors. So get working on your submissions, you've only got two weeks!
