The firewall between intranets and the public is becoming increasingly thin. Already we see intranets which receive and deliver content to/from external sites. Looking to the future we can see web and intranet teams merging together.There arestill issues over the audience and regulatory environment but the merger is happening. One think that I doubt will change is the budget. Public website receive a far greater amount of the public although one wonders what will give the greater value.

Interesting post and no I do not run an intranet. At my workplace the intranet is run seperate from the main public website. The whole idea of an Intranet needs to be re-examined.

Why do we hide so much information behind an intranet? much of the content could be made available to the public. Blogging on an intranet seems strange to me, your audience is over 14K of staff but you do not want the public to see it at all. HR Guidance is hidden inside an intranet, why?

Intranet’s can be at time treated as the poor relation of the outward facing website and this I feel is a wasted opportunity. The other aspect of an intranet is that it allows staff to have candid, team based discussion in a secure environment. Could you do this with a Ning Group? perhaps not but worth considering.

A good intranet can build an online community of staff and enable to communicate and work better together. As new staff come on board increasingly savvy about the web they will expect more from an intranet that just a shadow of the main public facing website.

Thanks for the article Liam! There’s some great take-aways in there!

It is hard to face the critical comments in person, but recognising that it is an opportunity, as you say, and helps you take it on board and use it effectively.

Thanks!

Comment on It’s good to talk… web by Stephen Hale

We’re still running these at the Foreign Office. It can be a challenge to reserve a regular slot in busy people’s diaries for an informal meeting that doesn’t necessarily result in any actions. But I think it’s well worth it. At least, I know that I find it useful to take a step back from what I’m doing to think about what’s round the corner, or learn from what others have done. It’s good to mix up the sessions, from a “bring your social media anecdote” to “this is how x are changing the way their data is reused”. And as you say it’s definitely a good idea to get interesting people from outside the team to come in and be provocative.
