As a consulting firm, we are always advising clients. In doing so, we leverage best practices, experiences from other accounts and industry research that can help us give our clients more informed advice. But sometimes there is nothing healthier or simpler to learn by practicing what we preach.

With that in mind, we would like to announce that the previously launched intranet best practices report is being made available as a "working document" in a wiki format. Just go to www.intranetmaturity.com to view the report, comment on a page, add a trend or even edit a page. Depending upon the responses and bearing in mind the risks of vandalism, we may need to limit the editing function at some point down the road.

We believe in wikis. Our own intranet is a wiki to which everyone contributes content and comments on it. We also believe that the more people who collaborate on a document or an idea, the stronger it becomes. That's why we have launched the best practice report as a wiki. You can still download the polished version if you prefer. The downloadable version is better for sharing with co-workers.
