[Sigia-l] Intranet strategies and fundamental assumptions - to portal or not to portal?

[Lamantia, Joseph C.]

At the moment, we're considering alternatives to the questions of what publishing flow is best, and how to encourage it.

For publishing:

1. Employees use templates and tools from the central team to publish content on their own, with minimal review by perhaps two relevant roles; department-based web editors and, and identified subject-matter experts.

2. The central team uses tools and templates to automate page creation, and requires review by subject matter experts

We've not yet identified the incentive mechanisms which we hope will encourage participation; alternatives for this that we've discussed are:

For incentives:

1. recognition and status awards as part of the employee community (soft stuff, but meaningful in an engineering culture which respects practical knowledge as an achievement

2. connecting generation of high-quality content to staffing / hr protocols - like reviews, bonus requirements, etc.

employees will - or will be able to - access and contribute high-
qualilty reusable content within a system like the above

Are you expecting employees to submit information which will be reviewed 
by a central team ("normalized"), then published? Or are you thinking 
more along the lines of a central team that periodically solicits 
content based on topics identified by mgmt, etc.? If the former, 
have you thought about what incentives will be in place to encourage 
employee participation?
