What is the Business Value of Your Intranet?

Nancy Goebel, Director of Business Development - Intranet Benchmarking Forum

Intranet services and corporate portals are notoriously hard to value at a financial and business level. For too long, intranets and portal managers have relied on rather jaded “money or time saved” calculations, which seldom convince senior leaders – particularly the financial leadership. To address this issue, the Intranet Benchmarking Forum’s latest work is to develop a model to benchmark the financial value of intranet services in major organizations. This talk provides an update on IBF “work in progress” to shape our new Intranet Financial Value Tool, based on recent IBF research and development within Unilever, Shell and BT.
