Common pitfalls behind Intranet project failures

If you are planning to modernize your company intranet, this guide is for you.

Having worked on numerous internal collaboration initiatives alongside our clients, we acquired a thorough understanding of what works and what does not in the particular context of an Intranet project. This short guide attempts to extract the most important of those lessons that we learnt for your benefit.

This guide is intentionally vendor agnostic: it will not help you choose a vendor but should help you build a successful intranet for your company regardless of your choice. It is also intentionally concise: we do not aim at being comprehensive, but rather attempt to focus on the most important and least known aspects of an intranet project.
