We thought you’d like to know where we go for intranet inspiration when we’re in need of some ideas of our own; we could write essays on the subject, but then that would be missing the point of this exercise, wouldn’t it?
The easiest way to do this is to provide you with some links that you can follow, which will take you to some innovative, investigative, or simply downright interesting intranet resources – so here are the first five for you. We’ll post again soon with other favourites – there are many great people out there in the intranet community, and the selection below is just the beginning.
All of these will open in their own tab or window, so don’t worry about losing your page if you click on them:
http://www.intranetfocus.com/blog – The blog section of the Intranet Focus website, penned by Martin White who we’ve mentioned before as a truly knowledgeable resource for intranet advice at all levels.
http://intranetizen.com/ - Intranetizen is a great blog by two guys with, as they themselves say, ‘almost 20 years of blue-chip intranet experience for some of the world’s most respected brands’ – which says everything about the high quality of the content available there.
http://www.steptwo.com.au/columntwo/ – A long-time favourite of ours, Step Two Designs has been a ‘go-to’ resource for us for a long time now, and their advice is always a good read for anyone with a passion for intranets.
http://netjmc.com/- The well-respected blog by Jane McConnell, which features a lot of genuinely empirical study and investigation into the intranet world, including the annual, invaluable Digital Workplace Trends survey and report.
If you think there’s anyone we’re missing, just leave a comment below and let us know – as mentioned, this is just the first in a series of posts so check back soon for more.
