IBM’s Galactic Intranet Redesign & The Death of the Intranet

"A team of more than 40 IBM consultants have undertaken a massive redesign of IBM’s web properties: a galactic redesign that includes both the external website and internal intranet.

The core objective: a Single design system that converges the intranet (W3) and Internet standards, incorporates reusable design patterns and evolves the design system through collaboration."

The new design uses darker and more subdued colors in the masthead and footer but brighter colors and more readable fonts in the content space making it easier for you to focus on where the real action is happening on the page: the content space!!,

- The new design makes it incredibly easy for you to add and remove widgets from the page, to change the layout of the page, and even allows you to easily add and remove your own pages customizing each for the way YOU work
- Dynamic delivery of merchandising and Expertise Locator services through our services
- No longer is there a single information workplace. No longer are we bound by the strict confides of a firewalled digital destination. The way we work transcends the binary notions of ‘internal’ and ‘external’. The body of knowledge we access and to which we contribute is now globally distributed across individuals, communities and disciplines. And our communication is constant, immediate and ubiquitous.
- As an organization, we must reconceive how to serve and empower a global workforce – professionally and culturally – in a way that enables everyone to achieve his or her full potential.
- evolving from distinct toolkit to integrated service; from a walled garden to a mode of engagement. W3 can become the service through which digital citizens (users/employees) engage to make the world work better.
- In the future, w3 will cease to be a separate destination for IBMers. Instead, it will seamlessly integrate into IBM.ocm and the Web, serving as the frame through which they relate to their colleagues, the enterprise, their clients and partner

IBM consolidates social media for employees

"To be successful on the intranet, social media (intranet 2.0) cannot work in isolation; successful social computing requires effective integration and change management."

Beehive was isolated in a corner of the intranet (like many of its other social media tools), and not at all integrated into the complete employee intranet experience.
Today, the employee networking / intranet 2.0 experience is interconnected, and integrated into the main intranet – a single platform,

- Some legacy applications such as Blog Central and Wiki Central are still in the process of being completely migrated, but the (r)evolution is underway.
- Access to Connections is via a portlet, Connect & Share, on the IBM intranet home page, W3.
- The most ambitious thing we are doing is our internal phone directory, Blue Pages, with around 600,000 entries (400,000 employees plus contractors, etc.). We’re in the process of migrating all of that into the profile components of Connections.”

Internal comms at IBM shift from creation to curation

"IBM’s 407,000 or so employees are all on track to become communicators.

How, and why? The company’s intranet, w3, has undergone an evolution over the past decade as more tools encouraging employees to generate their own content—blogs, an internal wiki, social bookmarking tools, file-sharing—have led to a deluge of posts."

communication curation filtering filters informationoverload casestudies IBM W3 corporatecommunication

Edwards says IBM hasn’t quite articulated a systematic way for communicators to filter employee-created content, but he says the key is to think like a blogger. Bloggers “instinctively” do two things, he says: They point to content created by others via links, and they provoke discussion.
“Our task now is to take the skills that bloggers have developed in curating content and rolling them out across our content teams

- “Having a single instance of project documentation that all members of the project work off is a far more efficient way of running a project from a document creation and handling perspective than passing attachments via e-mail
- Employee blogs are a little different, Edwards says, in that they’re more personal and opinion-based. Team leaders often use them for rallying teams around causes or movements, he says.
- Articles intended for companywide consumption gain little traction, he says. “They’re so general that they lack relevance
