Enter the 2008 awards
innovation = originality + impact
The Intranet Innovation Awards are global awards that celebrate new ideas and innovative approaches
to the design and delivery of intranets. The goal is to find these ideas (whether large or small), and to share
them with the wider community.
Uniquely, these awards recognise individual intranet improvements, and not intranets as a whole.
The awards are about improving all intranets, by increasing the pace of innovation across the whole of the
intranet community. Every idea, no matter how small, adds to our understanding of what it means to have a successful intranet.
Submissions can be made across four categories:
- core intranet functionality
- communication and collaboration
- frontline delivery
- business solutions
Gold Awards are selected in each of these categories, and an overall Platinum Award winner is chosen, representing the most outstanding entry for the year.
With entries open for the 2008 awards, this is another opportunity for intranet teams to have their time in the light.
