Yes, we rolled it out in our company and it was a big success. It died away when we rolled out our new intranet. But we're looking into reintroducing it soon. I work for a large company that engineers, manufactures and sells copier/printer/scanners. Email me and I'll tell you more!

If so, what kind of organisation do you work for? (I ask, because it is hard to find examples where expertise directories have succeeded, and we would often recommend against them for that reason.)

I completely agree with you. We saw this in our old people directory too. Regrettably it was replaced by a less-linked one. We're working on getting the more cross-linked people directory back. Another example of cross-linking is 'people > expertise'. We added that in our old version too. That gave very interesting results. This can also be extended outside the company. The internal directory then becomes CRM-ish too. Great post. I completely agree with you. We saw this in our old people directory too. Regrettably it was replaced by a less-linked one.
