The document discusses best practices for creating an intranet that users enjoy. It recommends taking a business model approach, creating a diverse project team, defining measurable key performance indicators rather than vague objectives, planning for changing requirements, focusing on user adoption, and providing examples of modern intranets. The goal is to deliver an intranet that employees find useful and engage with regularly.

- 3. Agenda
- 5. Theory: Your intranet project is more complex then the a moon landing mission
- 6. First thing that comes to mind …
- 8. Ok. But there is a little bit more Still strongly simplified and without any actual knowledge of such a endeavor.
- 11. Success of a moon landing mission • Space shuttle starts • Landing party takes picture on the moon • Everyone returns to earth
- 12. How do you measure the success of your intranet project?
- 13. But you are a consultant, just take a “best practice” from other projects We are not different from all the others.
- 14. Confidence is the feeling you have until you understand the problem.
- 15. Expectations vs Reality Source: http://www.boredpanda.com/fast-food-ads-vs-reality/
- 16. But what is the problem? Time for some sense making

- 20. Possible solution for a complex situation How to create a intranet your users like.
- 22. Tackle your project like a business idea Introducing the Business Canvas Model for your Intranet
- 25. Your corporate Intranet as a Business model Think of your Intranet project like a business. Your end users are your customers. As they don’t pay you directly using their very own money take usage and satisfaction as your target currency in addition to the savings you will generate. Happier employees lead to happier customers. Revenue More clients faster, customer satisfaction, ROI Employee satisfaction, loyalty, winning talents Usage reports Key resources Your project team Your management Channels Intranet & Portals Collaboration Digital Processes Unified Communication Cost structure Costs for internal people, external consultants, training Licensing cost, Hardware costs Implementation Customer Relations Workshops, Interviews Communication plan, Surveys, Trainings VALUE PROPOSITION THE VALUE FOR YOUR END USERS Here you need to be creative and precise Key activities Diverse Team Measurable KPIs Keep change in mind User Adoption Key partners Corporate Communications Corporate HR Corporate IT External Consultants Customer segments Your users Different teams and departments Stakeholders Personas
- 26. Key Activity: Create a diverse project team
- 27. “Ivory Tower” Approach of “Research and Recommend” is not working anymore.
- 28. Your winning project team • Experts from all areas not only IT • Diverse group of people from all genders and age groups • All key stakeholder and end user personas should be represented • Team members a communicators of your message inside the company • Collaborate as a group on eyelevel • Give feedback and please praise success
- 29. Key Activity: Create measurable KPIs
- 30. Most stated project objectives are platitudes – they say nothing but hide behind words If you cannot reasonably disagree with an objective, or measure it, then it is a platitude
- 31. The platitude indicator • “Collaboration will be encouraged” • “A best-practice collaboration platform” • “To provide the best collaborative experience for our users” • “It’s a SharePoint project” Source: Paul Culmsee cleverworkarounds.com
- 32. SharePoint non platitudes • “We are proving that through better information management, we can improve our customer relationship and trust building without over-burdening our staff” • “We are proving that we can grow the organisation while reducing email volumes and centralising document storage” • “By building communities of practice, we prove that we can reduce information overload and allow our users to find the right expertise” Source: Paul Culmsee cleverworkarounds.com
- 33. Key Takeaways • A platitude is like a mirage. It looks like a goal, but in reality it is nothing • Platitudes delude us into thinking that we have an end in mind when we actually do not • Don’t confuse the means with the end. Always ask what difference the means will make, rather than trying to come up with a universal definition for it Source: Paul Culmsee cleverworkarounds.com
- 34. Key Activity: Plan with change in mind Expect changing requirements
- 35. There is no point in asking users who don’t know what they want, to say what they want There is even less point in thinking that you already know what they want

- 38. Do not penalise your team for their learning For a problem that is novel or requires learning for participants, they will examine potential solutions just to explain the problem Each instance of examining the solution will impact the understanding of the problem Source: Paul Culmsee cleverworkarounds.com
- 39. Key takeaway • Expect fluid requirements • Expect scope changes • Involve stakeholders • Expect resistance and pullback • Plan for prototyping • Be adaptable • Do not penalise people for their learning
- 40. Plan for user adoption Frustration kills motivation
- 41. New version. Next update. New feature. But after the next corner there will be time for some rest.
- 42. Without governance there will be accidents. No speeding. It’s not a race track.
- 43. Simple example how much every WTF moment and frustration eats resources Usually 2 or 3 persons are on the help. Lost time, effort and sometimes too much lost motivation. Source: happit.com
- 44. Key takeaway • Be prepared for changes in moving versions forward • Ensure a shared understanding of the problem among all participants • Plan for training and onboarding • Don’t expect everyone to just get it • Integrate learning into the users daily routine don’t only do on time workshops

- #39: There is no definitive statement of “The Problem.” It is a moving target. “they don’t know what they want” The problem is composed of an evolving set of interlocking issues and constraints. Each attempt at creating a solution changes the understanding of the problem. Therefore, the information needed to understand the problem depends on one’s idea for solving it … In order to describe a wicked problem in sufficient detail, one has to develop an exhaustive inventory for all the conceivable solutions ahead of time A number of designers participated in an experiment in which the exercise was to design an elevator control system for an office building. All of the participants in the study were experienced and expert integrated-circuit designers, but they had never worked on eleva-tor systems before. Indeed, their only experience with elevator systems came from riding in elevators. Each participant was asked to think out loud while they worked on the problem. The sessions were videotaped and analyzed in great detail. The analysis showed, not surprisingly, that these designers worked simultaneously on understanding the problem and formulating a solution. They exhibited two ways of trying to understand the problem: efforts to understand the requirements for the system (from a one page problem statement they were given at the beginning of the session); and mental simulations (e.g. “Let’s see, I’m on the second floor and the elevator is on the third floor and I push the ’Up’ button. That’s going to create this situation....”).

- #42: Wicked problems have no stopping rule … because (according to Proposition 1) the process of solving the problem is identical with the process of understanding its nature. You can always try to do better as your understanding grows. This leads to the presumption that additional investment of effort might increase the chances of finding a better solution. You cannot prove that all solutions have been considered There are no criteria which enable one to prove that all solutions to a wicked problem have been identified and considered There are so many factors and conditions, all embedded in a dynamic social context, that no two wicked problems are alike. Various stakeholders will have differing views of acceptable solutions. It is a matter of judgment as to when enough potential solutions have emerged and which should be pursued Solutions differ based on interests, values and ideology of participants Judgements on the effectiveness of solutions are likely to differ widely based on the personal interests, value sets, and ideology of the participants. Since there are no unambiguous criteria for deciding if the problem is resolved, getting all stakeholders to agree that a resolution is ‘good enough’ can be a challenge. Sox clearly to me has been a failure in its intent, given the global financial crisis, but many would argue against my assertion Some would say that SOX not working is regulation not working and argue for less Some would argue for more
