  • Blame the economic turmoil or a change in values, but more people are demanding greater self-reliance, control and satisfaction in their professional lives. For example, 75 percent of independents surveyed stated that doing something they love was more important than making money while 74 percent stated that they wanted a job where they know they were making a difference.

  • Le “travail” tel que nous le connaissons sera transformé, notamment sous l’effet d’évolutions sociétales et technologiques profondes : l’individualisation de la société, la diffusion généralisée des technologies numériques, les préoccupations éthiques et écologiques.
  • éclatement des univers du travail, à la fois temporels, spatiaux et organisationnels. Cela se traduit par une
    segmentation accrue “des mondes du travail” et une hétérogénéité croissante des situations mais aussi des attentes des salariés, des entreprises, des secteurs d’activité ou des territoire

"How does your intranet help your customers? I mean your external customers. The ones who buy and use your services and products.

The ultimate purpose of an intranet

The ultimate purpose of an intranet is to help an organization better serve its customers or the public in the case of governments."

      But times are changing and the results from this year’s Digital Workplace Trends survey will hopefully provide 2 things:

       
         
      1. A sense of progress in aligning intranets to business needs, be it business towards customers or services for users
      2. Ammunition for those who need to push internally to go further in this direction
    • Some enterprises are clarifying the business alignment of their intranet. A large bank recently told me how they broke their workforce into 3 groups:

       
         
      1. Front line workforce with customer contact (talking to many customers, selling products, following an organized process with some individual interpretation)
      2. Back office workforce (limited task area, very defined processes, high efficiency is king)
      3. Analytical work (experts, no defined processes, high need for knowledge networks)
      4.  
       

      These 3 groups will have very different expectations from the intranet. The bank intranet team have just begun to develop a strategy for each of these groups.

  • Create a position that enables managers to decide how to educate, train, and develop their workers. Implement it locally, where bureaucratic nonsense is less likely to interfere.
  • Any business unit's management team is responsible for structuring its operations, and it should hire the experts it needs to help it do the job.
