• Get inspiration for your project, uncovering new ideas or approaches that will increase the impact of your solution.
• Strengthen a business case, by showing senior management what other organisations have already delivered, and what benefits they’ve gained.
• Benchmark your current state, against innovative examples across a wide range of functionality.
• Accelerate your redesign, by drawing on emerging best practices from leading intranets.
• Use as a conversation starter, providing a starting point for discussions amongst all intranet stakeholders, including communications and IT.
• Avoid pitfalls and problems, by drawing on the lessons learned (and shared) by successful  projects.
• Move the intranet towards a digital workplace, by exploring the expanding horizon of what great sites can do.
• Plan the next steps for the intranet, and keep your site up-to-date with the leading edge of developments.
