David Gammel, knowledge management guru, writes in his High Context Consulting blog (The One and Only Purpose for an Intranet):
The sole purpose for an intranet is to facilitate the work of staff in pursuit of the organizationŐs objectives. Nothing more, nothing less. A good metric for this is that one of the first things that staff do when starting a project is to voluntarily create a space for it on your intranet. If the intranet is considered a prerequisite for success by staff, then you have succeeded! I was prompted to post this after reading Nick Besseling’s rant on how stickiness is not a good goal for an intranet (I agree).
To quote a famous ubiquitous Usenet and BBS luser, “Me too!”
