Jakob Neilson has some good stuff in his yearly roundup of intranet trends:
Intranet design is maturing and reaping the rewards of continuous quality improvement for traditional features, while embracing new trends like mobile access, emergency preparedness, and user/employee-contributed content.
Ideas of enterprise 2.0 are leaking into intranet design, and quite right too.
As per this post, I’m focusing a lot of my attention this year on what goes on within organisations. I dare say that few councils and other government organisations have interactive – and mobile – intranets as discussed by Nielson.
I want to explore what technology people are using and what the barriers are to adoption – and then think about what the solutions might look like.
I’m on the lookout for stories about collaboration and innovation in this space within public services – like the stuff Carl Haggerty is up to in Devon. If you have any examples, drop me a line, or leave a comment.
It’s Nielsen! But hey, I read his article and thought about government intranets… I think they should be like social media sites, and employees should participate there connected by interests, not only by what office they’re in.

Sorry about that. I meant to say “It’s Nielsen! But hey, everyone makes mistakes”.
And with this comment I’m proving it…
