[Patrick Kennedy]

FYI

The inaugural Intranet Innovation Awards celebrate new ideas and
innovative approaches to the enhancement and delivery of intranets.
Uniquely, these awards recognise individual intranet improvements, and
not intranets as a whole. The awards are about improving all intranets,
by sharing great ideas and increasing the pace of innovation across the
whole of the intranet community.

We received a flood of great entries, from across the globe, from public
and private sector organisations, large and small. Looking through the
submissions, we could immediately see some great ideas, generating a
considerable sense of anticipation for the judging process.

Naturally, not everyone can be a winner, but everyone is worthy of
commendation for taking the time to review their activities and to
identify the best of what they have done.

So to all those who submitted entries: thank you. To the winners:
congratulations!
