Intranet trends for 2009 - Live update
(Here's the slide set I would have used for my 10-minute slot on Intranets Live last night.)
The main messages are that 2008 has been a year of turbulence for many organisations. A the same time, the intranet is or has become the "way of working" for 22% of the survey participants. Last year, the figure was 11%.
Search will continue to be a major challenge in 2009. The figures show that many consider it to be "mission critical" yet do not provide adequate resources to support it. Interestingly, the rate of satisfaction with Search has become 50/50 with 10% very satisfied, 40% moderately satisfied (that's my 50!) and the others dissatisfied or very dissatisfied.
Social media are slowly entering the intranet landscape. There are lots of hesitations and concerns. However, the striking thing is that where the intranet has become the "way of working", social media is being integrated faster than in other organizations. I've included some figures on the slide for instant messaging, blogging and wikis as used inside the firewall.
The report will be published November 25th with complimentary copies sent that day to all participating organizations.
Where do the figures come from?

Meryl, the figures come from the Global Intranet Trends for 2009 report we conducted for the 3rd year.
It is based on a survey which is also run yearly. The most recent survey was conducted between July and September 2008 with 226 organizations around the world.

Your blog post came out ahead of the report, so I didn't make the connection. Thanks!
