I like the no launch/promotion by stealth idea. People are so cynical of IT dept mass emails, but when they see co-workers making use of something, they want to know about it. Posted by: john on April 25, 2003 01:35 PM
Promote an intranet? Bwhahahahaha! What kind of flunky company needs to promote its intranet? Simple solution: 1) Place files on intranet. People learn real fast that way. They don't get angry either because in a self-serve world the onus is on them. If anything, they feel stupid for having asked. If you have to promote your intranet, it must be terribly unused and therefore irrelevant to your business.
Promote an intranet? Bwhahahahaha! What kind of flunky company needs to promote its intranet? Simple answer - any large decentralized company where no one team is answering "users asking for files". Waiting for word to "get around" would take forever, the message would be inconsistent, and the project wouldn't get any recognition from the higher-ups after investing heavily in it.

Simple answer - the smart departments will use the intranet. Sooner or later the flunky departments will learn what's going on, realize they're behind the curve, and seek you out to learn about the intranet. Posted by: Pickadilly on April 26, 2003 02:26 PM
