Filed under: Intranets
I’ve just closed the application process to join the Advisory Panel for my upcoming book. I’m now working through the list, whittling 50+ entries down to the chosen 30. More on this to come…
In the meantime, one thing that was interesting was the diversity of job titles. These are the different titles used by the applicants, all of which refer to people managing or running intranets (in alphabetic order):

That’s quite a list! If there’s a clear pattern, it eludes me …
What this list does show is the many ways that intranets are owned, managed and run. Teams sit in communications, IT, knowledge management or elsewhere. Jobs are either very senior (director) or more junior (coordinator?).
For the record, we’ve often said: we don’t care who owns the intranet, as long as they’ve got the right skills and focus.
