A few key concepts for an Intranet are defined in the book Intranets & Credit Unions*. The concept of an ideal Intranet defined there as “a fluid communication model, where we all have a chance to talk, and we all have a
chance to listen” is useful.
The emphasis becomes to move the Intranet from a place to post just documents and
notes to a more interactive, dynamic place to be. Proper growth is from “an information Intranet to an interactive” intranet.
Moving past posting ‘What we do in Operations!’ a first step is to provide not just text information, but interactive “forms that the
user can fill out and send back”, and move on to “discussion areas” in which “communication flows in all directions.” Visit the interactive Credit Union HR Intranet.
Solution: Instant Intranet Builder Fully Supports the Interactive Intranet
According to Intranets & Credit Unions*, Intranet administrators are encouraged to welcome “employees at all levels ... as creators of content”.
A good way to encourage and enable those who will create content is “to encourage input from people who don't think of themselves as ‘writers’... Structured creation replaces the blank screen with preconstructed content - essentially a form to be filled out.”
Solution: Structured Content Creation - with fill in the blank, easy to use screens, is the heart and core of Instant Intranet Builder
IIB moves beyond the blank screen, or coding, or complex WYSIWYG tools to make it possible for “employees at all levels” to create and maintain Intranet content.
