Intranet Content
Developing contentIdentify key work groups you want the intranet to
serve Functional teams Business units Key projects
Ask the users:What are their content needs?What will have most impact on their performance?
![Page 6: Julie Poroznuk, ABC CEBS JP Communication May 2007 Managing and Measuring Intranet Content.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b3b85550346d41a8b5433/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Intranet Content
Sample questions What are the most important
things your team has to do over the next couple of years?
How could you personally be twice as effective?
If you could have anything you wanted to help you do your job better, what would it be?
What are the most frustrating time-wasters in your life?

Intranet Content
Classify the ideas according to: how they will impact the team how they will support the
strategic goals the cost and other required
resources

Intranet Content
build a list of content opportunities and options that range from quick-wins to high impact but high-cost applications
plot the options on a chart where one axis is the estimated impact or value, and the other the cost or difficulty

Intranet Content
The oddities of Web space no sense of scale no sense of direction no sense of location

Intranet Content
Finding Information “no more than three clicks” what really counts is how hard each click is card sorting people read computer text 28% slower than
printed text 79% of users only scan web pages
![Page 11: Julie Poroznuk, ABC CEBS JP Communication May 2007 Managing and Measuring Intranet Content.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b3b85550346d41a8b5433/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Intranet Content
re-purpose content chunking shorter pages = less scrolling get rid of half the words - and
then do that again avoid happy talk (intro,
welcome..)
![Page 12: Julie Poroznuk, ABC CEBS JP Communication May 2007 Managing and Measuring Intranet Content.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b3b85550346d41a8b5433/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Intranet Content
keep the important stuff “above the fold”
use headings, sub-headings, point form
avoid instructions - should be self-explanatory
simple graphics
![Page 13: Julie Poroznuk, ABC CEBS JP Communication May 2007 Managing and Measuring Intranet Content.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b3b85550346d41a8b5433/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Intranet Content
Avoid PDF for On-Screen Reading
“Forcing users to browse PDF files makes usability approximately 300% worse compared to HTML pages. Only use PDF for documents that
users are likely to print.”Jakob Nielsen’s Alertbox
![Page 14: Julie Poroznuk, ABC CEBS JP Communication May 2007 Managing and Measuring Intranet Content.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b3b85550346d41a8b5433/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Managing the Content
content should be created, owned and managed by the people who own the knowledge
central team members should– help content contributors improve the
service they provide– identify areas not being served by the
intranet– work as advisors for new and special
projects
![Page 15: Julie Poroznuk, ABC CEBS JP Communication May 2007 Managing and Measuring Intranet Content.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b3b85550346d41a8b5433/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Managing the Content
employees should be able to update content independently
IT bottlenecks reduce efficiency empower non-technical contributors establish work flow for content
creation
![Page 16: Julie Poroznuk, ABC CEBS JP Communication May 2007 Managing and Measuring Intranet Content.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b3b85550346d41a8b5433/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Managing the Content
content management software should make it easy for you to set up the:
– page templates– approval processes– user roles– rules about who should be responsible each
content area
this should not require extensive database development or specialized programming
![Page 17: Julie Poroznuk, ABC CEBS JP Communication May 2007 Managing and Measuring Intranet Content.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b3b85550346d41a8b5433/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Measuring Content
Measurement Guidelines simple metrics related to business
objectives can be very powerful don't measure because you can - but
because it is meaningful use a mixture of quantitative and
qualitative metrics stories are more powerful than statistics
![Page 18: Julie Poroznuk, ABC CEBS JP Communication May 2007 Managing and Measuring Intranet Content.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b3b85550346d41a8b5433/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Measuring Content
Using metrics allows targets to be set success to be assessed ROI to be estimated problems to be corrected

analyze log files regularly and act on findings
site statistics can be very misleading
focus on the user combine methods remember the big picture

Test ObjectivesExamples: How easily can users locate the benefits
information they need to determine their level of coverage?
How easily can users make changes to personal information?

Match tasks to test objectives Your child needs braces. Find out
how much your dental plan will pay for orthodontist services.
You just got married. Register your new spouse as an eligible dependent for benefits coverage.

33
Examples of conditions for success:
The user should be able to find the correct information in less than three minutes.
No more than four clicks should be needed to find the information.
Usability Testing
![Page 34: Julie Poroznuk, ABC CEBS JP Communication May 2007 Managing and Measuring Intranet Content.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b3b85550346d41a8b5433/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Examples of Measures Excellent: completed the task easily with time
and clicks to spare. Acceptable or OK: completed the task within or
close to requirements Unacceptable: did not complete the task, or
took much longer and more clicks to find the information than is acceptable.

How many participants? typical test has 6 to 12 participants three for a simple test is an absolute
minimum (remove idiosyncrasies) three to five: enough information to be
comfortable with your conclusions

36
How do I select participants? actual users, if known (average employees) don’t use developers of the site make sure the participants show up provide some reward for participation include at least a few LCUs (least competent users) beware of highly seasoned users

Data Logger takes down information as participant performs
tasks usually logs several types of data:
– time elapsed– number of clicks– path of clicks– success or failure

qualify as an actual participant

Usability Testing moves the discussion from what’s right and
what’s wrong to what works and what doesn’t
helps us realize that all users are not like us
The point is not to prove or disprove something, but to inform your judgement.

provides a report sometimes used before a re-design can be used before testing to identify
problem areas

Executive Summary the intranet has entered maturity as a primary
information tool senior management perception of the intranet is out of
sync with reality on the ground intranets lack sufficient funding and resources decision-making is an issue customer-facing functions are largely missing from the
intranet primary strategy drivers are “building a common
culture”

primary obstacle to achieving full potential is that it is too communication-oriented and lacks integrated applications
intranet evaluation is irregular and inconsistent only 1 out of 4 organizations is obliged to demonstrate
ROI for intranet investments information flows are strongest in top-down direction 3 out of 4 have an employee directory, but only 1 out of
5 contain information about peoples’ skills and expertise

Web 2.0 (blogs, wikis) are making their way to the intranet
organizations who consider the intranet to be “business critical” are more likely to adopt Web 2.0 technologies and have stronger communication flows than average
