"How can I get more people to use the Intranet?"

Is this a question that you often ask yourself?  Have you found that once your intranet is up and running there is a small core of people that use it on a regular basis, but a large proportion only use it for one off-tasks such as the staff directory.  There are lots of ways to get your intranet usage up and therefore make it a more productive system.  We can help you find the best ways for your organisation.  Some of the ideas that we can talk to you are are:

• Creative ways of getting people to your intranet
• Pulling people into your intranet by adding killer applications
• Re-launching your intranet

A successful Intranet isn't just about having the class leading software - it's about how you use it.

We will talk to you about the top 10 ideas that we have gathered from hundreds of section administrators across all different sectors.  The common theme is that they are all simple ideas - like adding traffic reports / cameras onto the intranet.

We will talk about how to get the intranet to work for you - such as using the intrant to help with external inspections such as fire inspections, ISO 9000 standards, etc.

How do I get low usage users to my Intranet?

One of the most difficult things to do is to get a sceptic to use the intranet.  You will often find that they are set in their ways and don't want to embrace new technology.  However, by making their lives easier and showing them that by continuing doing something the way they are is the slow and painful way you may just open their eyes!

The SMT department is often a low intranet usage department - but by adding a page that brings together useful information such as customer service ratings you give them a reason to go to the intranet.

Making your Intranet fun can be a powerful way of increasing usage and delivering a successful business system
