Alex Manchester argues that intranets can’t just be about conversations. To quote:
Intranets can be fantastic connectors for employees. I mean, let’s break the word down: intra (inside) net (network). To use them solely as top down information dumping grounds, as inferred above, is a waste and a misuse.
I don’t think he’s saying there isn’t but of course, there is still plenty of room, and moreover plenty of need, for HR policies, organisational forms and so on. Multi-tiered use of intranets is a must. We need (and now expect) the cool stuff, but we also need the form to book a holiday while we’re at it.
