Over the past eight years, we've created Knowledge Databases for clients, we've designed and implemented HR intranets. Each was a bespoke piece, or a Sharepoint design project. Each took some time to get right and deploy. Now it's much quicker than that, and there are added benefits.
So, how about using Social Networking tools to bring your staff closer together? Create a community inside your company, across your locations, and for staff off-site. Watch them start project groups, interest groups and communicate with each other more. You may be concerned about access to, and the use of, sites like Facebook. You can take all the positives, and make them available only to your employees.
How about a Knowledge DB where each and every user keeps their skills up-to-date? Someone in your organisation may have just the right skill-set to fit the client's requirement, or sector experience to help win the pitch - and now you know who they are.
It's now easy to deploy SN tools. You choose which options to include. You can design it to fit with your internal messaging. IT can install it as part of your intranet if you want, or you can securely host it externally as a service, with administrative privileges, moderation and permissions. Whichever option, it's fast to implement, and it's going to benefit the business.
