Partnership delivers first online education on enterprise intranets
Categorised under: Book & product reviews, Intranets
We have spent the last decade examining the practices of intranet teams, with the goal of uncovering and sharing what works (and what doesn’t). For the first time, there is a now a full online training course that gives you access to this latest thinking on intranet strategy and management.
CMS Watch, in partnership with Step Two Designs, today released Fundamentals of a Successful Intranet, the first online course to lay out best practices for intranet teams. Designed for both existing intranet managers and those planning a new enterprise intranet, the course outlines the business case for improvement, and then identifies key factors in delivering a successful intranet.
Almost every organisation has an intranet, providing access to key corporate knowledge, a channel for communication to all staff, and a gateway to enterprise systems. While many intranets are more than a decade old, they still struggle to realize their potential business value.
This online course has been created by James Robertson, a recognised global expert on intranet best practices. The course explains current state-of-the-art, as well as outlining emerging directions. Using real-world examples from around the globe, the course offers a strategy for delivering a successful intranet, as well as a straightforward approach to identifying practical improvements.
The course packs considerable amount of information into five hours, via digestible one-hour modules that speak to various professional needs:
- Intranet or web teams – learn current best-practices and justify improvements in clear business terms
- Communications and HR team members – obtain state-of-the-art intranet knowledge
- Intranet development project teams – prepare for the work ahead
- Enterprise and IT managers – better understand and support intranet teams and projects
- Consultants – apply global best practices to intranet-related services
