interruption and dealing with other effects of
information overload.

HOW they‟re going to help make it happen.”
Steve Crescenzo, Consultant

Notas do Editor
Provide company news in a way that doesn’t bombard or cause unnecessary interruptions but still Cuts Through.Spark interaction, whether between the official company and employees, or between employees themselves.
Cut Through is important – if you’re revamping the intranet and need a temporary fix, then you don’t want to do a full on launch of something that’s short term. You don’t want to train them to go one place and then retrain to go somewhere else a few months down the road.
Secure IF you run in=house. But not cheap, as you need IT resource- servers, engineers. Might be hard to get, if your IT guys are stretched.
Embedding widgets – this works if you’ve got some I.T. help and have staff visiting your intranet. It’s low cost and easy to turn on or off. Legal might be a little uncomfortable depending on what you’re sending out.
You can use this tool to put out daily/weekly news, but ALSO permanent links to key information! Maybe a New Employee Orientation kit that you target to new hires for the first 3 months. Maybe you let Marketing put together their own bulletin of quick links and resource links. It is not customisable by users – they cannot drop and drag or add widgets or customize. That would be a major difference between best of breed intranets and this tool.
You’ve worked hard to put together a treasure trove of resources for employees. But they have to get there and use it
