It seems that intranets - and the related online communities within them - are being viewed by senior management as drivers of efficiency and productivity, and as "cultural glue," during turbulent times. If anything, intranets are driving services forward at such a great pace that, post-recession, the organization that emerges will be fitter, leaner and more adaptable. Prior to the downturn, the rate of development was already intense, but market conditions have caused a new wave of intranet acceleration to arrive. The new wave describes the integration of a range of employee-facing services delivered via technologies that are melding into the fabric of the organization.

Any "intranet road map" must take into account the current reality for many innovative large enterprises, as their present-day practice and performance anticipate the future of your organization.
Most companies find they’re still not delivering a return on investment in terms of use and increased efficiency in the way employee’s access useful and important information. Senior management is asking to show ROI, so more than ever the intranet manager needs to have a clear set of objectives for the intranet with tangible business benefits to show for it.

In an environment with numerous tools and applications, it is not easy to identify the real challenge for intranet managers and communication leaders. While Intranets have become the setting for the discussion of ideas, opinions and transactions, Web 2.0 and the growth of social networking has created exciting tools for businesses to communicate and organise with employees. Now the real challenge is to leverage the power of these tools and applications to create innovative and original internal communication experiences.

Intranet-related responsibilities are gradually being integrated into job descriptions for business and other managers more and more. Central teams have a more strategic role due to decentralized governance structures while at the same time regional, countr y or business managers also have greater autonomy and accountability. Working with external social media, Intranet Managers are getting support from peers worldwide therefore gaining visibility for their roles and work. 2010 has seen a fast growth in Intranet related groups and there are a lot more people blogs about matters on the intranet than a year ago. Twitter has become a fast-moving source of information about what’s happening in the intranet space with links and ideas being shared and multiple discussions take place on LinkedIn all day ever day. A influential, virtual ,worldwide intranet community lives and is constantly growing stronger.

However due to social media and collaborative features being implemented the intranet may be suffering in some organizations as it has to compete with them. Therefore there is a burning need for many organizations to define new global strategies for this growing online workplace. Whatever you call it - “workplace web” or “digital workplace” or something else - it is now business critical to define
