Hybrid work growing pains Many organisations looking to entice employees back to[…]

Intranet projects are often either delayed or derailed by impending changes be they structural, environmental or personnel. As a vendor this can be frustrating, but I believe the greater loss is borne by the organisation which is missing out on a powerful platform that would actually help to manage that change.

“Only 13% of employees report participating in their intranet daily — 31% said they never do.” When you are responsible for the success of your organisation’s intranet, it is incredibly frustrating when people don’t use it. The intranet was built for them! What is going on?? Before you move to Bolivia and take up potato[…]

You may be one of those “build it and they will come” types who genuinely believe that if you create a decent piece of tech that helps people do their jobs, they will flock in droves to use it. As many an intranet manager has learned to his or her bitter disappointment, people’s inertia should[…]
Information architecture (IA): it sounds hard and complicated and not like the fun job of designing a digital workplace was supposed to be for the Communications team. Never fear, it can be challenging but it is possible to plan and deliver an IA plan that captures users’ requirements. USERS?? Yes. Effective IA requires user involvement[…]
Would you ask a plumber to fix your watch? How about a voice coach to teach your kids soccer? It’s amazing how often organisations expect existing team members to run a Digital Workplace project despite having never had the opportunity to gain relevant experience. Traditionally we see all these kinds of initiatives falling to IT,[…]
It’s not from lack of effort that I see Digital Workplace projects failing. It’s not from lack of trying, or not enough people being involved, or not enough money. It’s just that some organisations don’t know what they don’t know. There are nine pillars supporting the success of a Digital Workplace initiative and they go[…]
Not so long ago, the idea of moving everything to the cloud was met with great skepticism. CIOs liked their data where they could see it – on their servers.

Is your intranet off to a flying start? Do you have the nerve? Will you cross the finish line or get bogged down in the weeds? [os-widget path=”/injio/digital-workplace-rally” of=”injio”]
Human beings often have a great ability to simply solider on. When the going gets tough, we tend to keep going without ever looking around to see whether there’s a better way. After all, as long as the work gets done somehow, everyone wins, right? Well, not really. Perhaps, in the case of a booming[…]
Once again, September quarter figures indicate minimal wages growth with many Australian pay packets only just keeping pace with inflation. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, private sector wages grew by just 1.86% after seasonal adjustments over the year to September 2017, with a CPI increase of 1.8% in the same period[1]. The International[…]
Abraham Lincoln is quoted as having said, “If I had five minutes to chop down a tree, I’d spend the first three sharpening my axe.” It turns out this quote originated many years after the death of Lincoln, but I believe the sentiment is valid. Many SharePoint projects that WebVine run are not the first[…]
If you have recently survived an intranet planning meeting, you can appreciate the difficulties faced by our international peacekeepers, trying to achieve harmony when each party sees different issues, prioritises divergent outcomes and often seem to be speaking another language. The machinations of Rocketman pale in comparison. Managing shifting internal priorities and disagreements between stakeholders[…]
