Pat’s Point of View

I’ve just launched a new website for Step Two: www.intranetleadership.com.au.

The site will be used to promote and coordinate the forum, an initiative aiming to bring together intranet professionals so they can share problems, ideas and generally network among themselves. As the site says:

Successful intranet teams have key skills in a variety of disciplines: strategy, project management, content management, communications, content writing, information architecture, usability, influencing, and stakeholder management to name a few.

The challenge for intranet teams, however, is that learning is usually on the job. While attending conferences can contribute to professional development, they offer limited skill building and practical insights. Beyond this, intranet team members often have few opportunities to connect with their peers in other organisations and cannot, by definition, see other intranet sites.

That’s where the Intranet Leadership Forum comes in.

The Forum provides support to intranet teams. Joining the Forum will connect you with other intranet professionals who are tackling similar intranet projects and issues. You’ll be part of a community where you can share your experiences, helping to bridge gaps in knowledge and expertise.

You will have access to real-life solutions for your organisation’s intranet issues from peers who have already found the answers, saving your organisation time and money.

We’re quite excited about this concept, even if the website design is less than stunning :)
