Most intranets conserve time and money.
True winners generate innovation as well.
These sites take on fuel, assert themselves and grow like happy babies until, inevitably, the time comes to get off the dime and go out there and do something . Truth is, we figured the interval of taking on fuel would last a lot longer than it actually did. Intranets and their parents were getting bored and going out there and doing something at an accelerated pace. Rather than existing as fat, happy buckets of information, a surprising number of intranets took aim at operational targets, providing some fairly ambitious transactional capability and enriching their organizations with a spirited Calvinist work ethic. That trend continues this year.
