“The Intranet Innovation Awards report is a must-read for all intranet managers. They are unique in that they recognise and reward specific user and business innovations within an intranet. I’ve seen hundreds of intranets, and never a single perfect one. That does not exist. Any ‘best intranet award’ is unlikely to be credible. The Intranet Innovation Awards on the other hand, are based on specific innovations within intranets that have generated positive results for the organisation. The report itself - full of screen shots and details - is an invaluable source of ideas, tips and strategies that you can use as inspiration for your own context.”

“In a time where most organizations are forced to cut costs and going through difficult budget decisions, the Intranet Innovations Award provides numerous examples of innovative and useful intranets that have demonstrated a competitive advantage. As an additional bonus most of the ideas shared in the report can be implemented without costly technology investments.”

“A solid read full of great examples and award winners from the likes of British Airways and Scottrade. Not just for large organizations, the Innovation Awards 2008 report has useful examples and case studies for small and medium-size organizations alike; terrific intelligence for any organization looking to improve their intranet.”
Toby Ward, President, Prescient Digital Media
“James Robertson and the team at Step Two Designs have discovered a fantastic approach to giving credit to people doing innovative work on their intranets, while simultaneously facilitating the sharing of innovative ideas with the wider intranets community. I have just read the 2008 edition of the Innovative Intranets Awards report, and I’m delighted to see the ideas that have been profiled this year. Given the stepwise increase in innovative ideas from 2007, I look forward to reading the 2009 report and observing how far we have collectively come. This report should be mandatory reading for every intranet team across the world.”

“The report is full of good ideas that can be used in most intranets. The ideas are well documented with screen dumps and useful descriptions.”

“In our volatile economic climate, even the most profitable businesses can’t afford the expensive lessons of an Intranet failure. Yet amazingly, they still happen. One challenge is that learning from other’s is difficult because these designs are hidden behind the corporate firewall. Intranet Innovations 2008 is a gold mine. By unmasking some big winners, it help us see how quality design thinking, a sharp focus on utility, thoughtful investment, and excellent teamwork lead to results that matter.
