	Reviews and Feedback "The Intranet Innovations award is more appropriate to the very nature of intranets than most competitions, which try to reward entire intranets. We all know intranets are facilitators and not applications in their own right, and Intranet Innovations is based on this fundamental reality. The 2007 awards zoom in on specific accomplishments by different intranet teams around the world. The report brings all this to life through concise descriptions, illustrations, screenshots and even photos of the intranet team members themselves. Congratulations to the StepTwo team and to all the applicants who contributed to making the awards and the report itself such a stimulating, pragmatic and human piece of work that will inspire intranet teams around the world. Jane McConnell, NetStrategy/JMC "Web managers have it easy. They have literally millions of other sites they can look at for ideas and good practice. Not so the intranet manager, who finds it almost impossible to look at other intranets. Even when they do it is sometimes very difficult to find the really neat ideas that could add value to their own intranet. The Intranet Innovations report provides a wealth of advice and good practice based on award- winning intranets that are truly innovative. The value of the awards process and the evaluation of the innovation is that great ideas from around the world are presented in a way that the benefits can easily be assessed. The report will also be indispensable in supporting the internal marketing of the value of the intranet to the organisation. Reading the evaluations will leave no one in doubt that there is a great deal of innovation in intranet deployment, and a great deal of value in considering how these innovations might benefit your organisation" Martin White, Intranet Focus "Innovation will always be required to establish a competitive advantage. This report shows numerous examples of intranet innovation that has demonstrated value and usefulness. The report nicely describes in text and illustrations how the different award winners actually did it and hopefully the many lessons shared will be a global inspiration to everybody working behind the firewall" Janus Boye, J. Boye "Too many great ideas remain stuck inside firewalls. It's about time we had an award like Intranet Innovations 2007. This inaugural year will undoubtedly be the first of many and bring to light the fantastic sites that are done around the world to support the work of every kind of organization." Bob Boiko, Metatorial Services "The Intranet Innovation Awards are a fantastic step forward in recognising that intranets are not static architectures, but living infrastructures that evolve - excellence lies not in benchmarking against static standards, but in constantly adjusting to meet the collaboration, coordination and information needs of staff, in support of the business. The principle of showcasing great examples from within an intranet infrastructure is a powerful one. The innovations represented in this year's awards show us all what's possible if we think specific, think benefits, and think creatively. Patrick Lambe, Straits Knowledge "A detailed look at some very effective intranets at both small and large corporations and their innovative approaches to improving their respective businesses in North America, Europe and Australia/New Zealand." Toby Ward, Prescient Digital Media "Having seen too many 'best of' awards, the Intranet Innovations is a breath of fresh air -- a very practical and much-needed teaching tool for Intranet managers everywhere." Tony Byrne, CMS Watch "These intranet awards prove that you can learn from other people's learning environments!" Erik Hartman, Hartman Communicatie
