Intranets have been undergoing huge changes in recent years, but the challenge remains to deliver the greatest business benefits. That’s what makes this new intranet book so important.
This book from James Robertson answers the key question for all teams: what should the intranet do? In 280 full-colour pages, this book outlines what modern intranets can (and should) do.
A timeless classic, it provides definitive advice and over 150 screenshots, it builds a common vision that crosses business and technology lines.
The book is structured according to business objectives, starting from the fundamentals and then working through to leading-edge thinking.
Each double-page spread contains a page of advice on the left, and a matching screenshot on the right.
