Audrey is the one who saved me from a total meltdown when I almost lost control of this site a month ago.

I am very grateful and… thrilled to have contributed to her report on Intranet Strategy and Governance published by Ark Group.

Audrey Scarff has researched the use of intranets by corporations. These platforms often fail to reach their potential because companies struggle to articulate their purpose.

Intranets also require a certain degree of flexibility in order to adapt to unstable business climates – like the current one! Their strategy is not cast in stone. It has to be flexible enough to mutate and reflect corporate changes like downsizing and mergers.

The publication contains case studies from organisations like BT, McDonald’s and Cancer Council New South Wales.

My part deals with the challenge of harnessing cross-cultural intelligence through team building. I guess its main point is that, while in the past teams were mainly treated as vehicles for the exchange of knowledge, they are now becoming a tool for making the most of the different nationalities working for a company and their expertise.

Intranet Strategy and Governance is featured this month on simply-communicate.com.
