Great venue, thanks to stimmt.ch for hosting and challenging. In the end it all boils down to hard work and clever ideas. We appreciate the participants input and will 1. further identify customers needs, 2. identify partner companies to broaden awareness and 3. continuously overdeliver! stay tuned for more, Ben

Thanks for the summary! It was very interesting indeed and I'm sure we could get some key issues we have to work on.
The Seefeld project was amazing too. It would be fun to find out more about the barkeeper next time ;)
Well done! I like this event very much.
Red wine will be...

There is a story about a doctor and the relation to the pharma industry in the actual Brand Eins "Mach doch, was Du willst" on page 116: "Nicht mit mir".
The doctor talks about that the pharma industry is too aggressive and his fear to be unable to handle independently.
I can make a PDF if desired...

Guten Tag und Gratulation!
I am starting to evaluate Confluence 3.1 for a client intending to build a new intranet. Your intranet theme ist entzückend aber leider gibt es momentan nur eine 3.0 version.
Will there be a 3.1 compatible version? Soon?
Gruss
Rainer

I agree that starting with a blank page does not show "respect" for the needs of staff. A strong statement I know, but I do think it's important that we work hard to help staff complete their work, and this is the fundamental purpose of an intranet. So good user-centered design is always important, even in a portal environment...

Hi James, Jeroen

Thanks for your thoughts! Numbers will tell...In Raiffeisens case, the number is much higher that 5-10%, although not yet anywhere near 80%. I will ask if I can disclose more precise figures.

Starting with an empty page is quite a daring move. To be honest, I do not know if, as a user, I would appreciate such an approach. In my opinion, it is in the repsonsibility of my employer to provide me with great tools which are optimized to my work.

Any other thoughts?

To increase active intranet use that also entails personalising does prosper if you start with a blank page. This way all employees start with in a level playing field. They have to do something to make use of the intranet. It also is a sign of strength on the "supply side" of the content. Unfortunately I've never experienced a management team that dared to launch this radical (intranet) approach. It seems to require a huge amount of trust in the employees who use the intranet.

Great examples, and always helpful to see what organisations are actually doing in practice.

While I also don't see any major technology hurdles, my major concern relates to user adoption.

The universal rule of thumb is that only 5-10% of staff will personalise.

While I would like it to be otherwise, it seems that even technology firms such as IBM and Microsoft struggle to get above 10% usage.

It would be great to have a counterexample. What have the adoption figures been for the listed organisations?

Cheers, James
