    Content should come from all parts of the business


    • Encourage employees with writing skills to produce interesting material.

    Ensure that someone has overall responsibility for your intranet


    • If nobody is in charge, your intranet will quickly become disorganised and confusing.

    • Managing an intranet takes time and effort. Make sure the person responsible has time in their schedule to do it.

    7. Intranet usability

    Make it easy to find things on your intranet


    • The principles of good web design generally apply to your intranet too.

    • Don't force people to click through pages and pages to find what they need.

    • Include a search function, so people can find what they want quickly. Most packages include search as standard.

    Ensure you are comfortable with the technical side of your intranet


    • Look for a service which is easy to use, while still providing the features you need.

    8. Getting everyone involved


    The more employees who use and contribute to your intranet, the more successful it will be.

    Train all employees to use the intranet


    • Demonstrate the benefits. Your staff must understand these.

    • Your intranet should be intuitive, so people can get started without any training.

    • Check what training and support materials are available from your intranet provider.

    Make sure that a variety of people know how to add and update content


    • Most packages include a simple editing option that's similar to writing a Word document.

    Identify people who will help others to use the intranet


    • They may also come up with ideas for improving the intranet.

    • Consider appointing 'intranet champions' in each team or department.

    • They can co-ordinate intranet efforts in their group or area.

    "Whilst intranets are sealed from users outside your business, blanket access to sensitive data should never be granted. Access to such data should be tightly controlled, on a need-to-know basis." - Paul Spearman, 3chillies
