The Law Firm Intranet

Just in time for holiday reading, NetStrategy/JMC has released intranet expert Jane McConnell’s Global Intranet Trends 2011.  Two buying options, including the report alone or the report with a 60-90 minute briefing with the author.  This report is a great read if you are doing any strategic planning for your intranet.  To get an idea of the contents of the report I downloaded the Full Sample  (PDF, 1.3 MB) which includes the executive summary with table of contents, sample pages and information about the author.

The report is divided into 3 sections:

• 5 megatrends affecting intranets today
• The impact of social media
• The 2 key challenges facing digital teams in 2011

The 5 megatrends she focuses on are the intranet as:

• The front door into the workplace
• Team-oriented
• People-focused
• Real-time
• Place-Independent

The 2 key challenges are:

• Governance and engaging stakeholders
• Facilitating the the social dimension

There are few (if any) law firms that participated in the report but I’ve found I can always learn from any intranet I look at or read about.  More information is included in the executive summary, etc. about all of the points above or you can jump in and buy the report now.
