We were surprised to find at our recent IBF Member Meeting in London that many of the large scale global corporate organistations in the room admit to having a lot of work to do in the intranet Strategy & Governance area.
Strategy & Governance is one of IBF’s key benchmarking areas and through evaluating many of our members in this area the key challenges we have identified are:
- The importance of formalising strategy
- The need to communicate strategy upwards and downwards
- The importance of having senior sponsorship
- Establishing a governance model
When we asked the question about senior sponsorship the result was only 50% of people in room felt they had clear senior sponsorship for their intranet.
IBF can help companies to overcome these challenges through benchmarking. Our Strategy and Governance benchmark involves interviewing staff from the very senior to more hands-on and our evaluators taking an indepth look at your intranet. A full report and report back is provided following the evaluation.
