Intranets have been undergoing huge changes in recent years, but the challenge remains to deliver the greatest business benefits. That’s what makes the launch of our new book so important:

Essential intranets: inspiring sites that deliver business value

This book demonstrates the power and value of intranets, providing inspiration and insights for all teams, whether new or experienced.

In 280 sharply written pages, this book explores what intranets can do, providing screenshots from great intranets around the globe.

Written by the undisputed global expert on intranets, this is the most important intranet book yet published, and it will reinvigorate intranet discussions around the globe.

It also sits alongside James’ two previous books, Designing intranets and What every intranet team should know, which together create an invaluable library for successful teams.

(The book is available in printed and eBook formats. Purchase both: the eBook gives you instant access, while the glorious full-colour screenshots in the printed copy are invaluable when talking with your CIO or CEO.)

A big shout-out to our amazing advisory panel of hands-on intranet practitioners from around the globe. They helped to ensure that every page and example hits the mark.

The book has already made a splash! These are just a few of the many reviews the book has already received:

In Essential Intranets, James Robertson has produced a must-read, must-have book for intranet managers to return to time and again. James consolidates all the ideas you may be just arriving at or questions you may be asking and delivers a concise, insightful resource filled with real world examples that will yank you from the realm of trial and error straight into a state of digital workplace mastery.

I had the privilege of participating on an expert review panel for this book but very shortly into the process my hat of peer analyst was replaced by that of eager learner and I quickly ran out of pithy commentary on the drafts, replaced by private notes-to-self along the lines of “do this immediately”, “what a great idea” and “so that’s why XYZ isn’t working!”

Read the book. Share it with colleagues. Move your practice from good to incredible. Your end-users will adore you for it.
