Description

Intranets have changed the way organizations around the world communicate. Many business people are intimidated by this technological revolution-but they need not be! The Human Side of Intranets guides you through the daunting task of transforming communication within your business. This book is for every non-technical person charged with the task of creating or contributing to a company intranet system. It goes through the process step-by-step, from initial concept to launch and beyond. The Human Side of Intranets avoids information overload, addressing three critical dimensions of creating an effective and valuable intranet-content, style, and politics. It demonstrates how intranets are not about technology, but about people and the way they communicate. Real-world examples and proven tactics for problem-solving are given to show you the way. This book makes taking your company into the 21st century a manageable feat!
