The Social Intranet
www.ambientia.net 2
The development of The Intranet(By Toby Ward)
• Version 1.0: Welcome page (a welcome message and a phone number)
• Version 1.1: Bulletin board (simple communications)
• Version 1.2: Corporate newsletter (structured news & limited document management)
• Version 1.3: Help Desk (simple transactions like the employee directory)
• Version 1.4: Corporate Store (more complex transactions such as e-HR and self-service)
• Version 1.5: The Portal (authorization, authentication, application & database integration)
• The trail has lengthened considerably as of late with the advancement of social media, and the intranet has made an evolutionary leap to version 2.0 or “ The social intranet.”

How to grow a community: Adapted from the ideas of Jimmy Wales
• The starting point: People• These are people - These are your people – Identifying: what
do you want to accomplish together?
• Design priorities/goals: • Make the necessary critical mass as small as possible• Make your community as useful as possible as fast as
possible
• Freedom & innovation• Let people and groups find their own way and fulfill their own
goals. People create the value.
Start small – grow – fail – learn and try again
