Intranets can bring plenty of benefits to your organization by boosting engagement with internal communications along with improving business efficiency. The key to a successful launch of an intranet within any organization requires careful and meticulous planning to ensure a smooth roll-out.

Top Tips for a successful Intranet Launch

1. Set Clear Intranet Usage Goals

There could be many reasons for deploying an intranet within your company, whether you are using it for external communications to improve customer service, or building internal collaboration amongst your employees. Whatever your reasons for wanting to use an intranet, it’s important to have these reasons listed down so you can design your intranet constructively and help convert your list into concrete usage goals. This helps you to stay on track and assess its performance to make further adjustments in the coming months, as your intranet continues to grow.

2. Use an Employee-Centric Approach

Most businesses use intranet software with the aim of improving collaboration or resource-sharing between colleagues and offices.  By having an employee-centric approach when you launch your intranet and actively involving every company employee from the outset, it will help you quickly and efficiently iron out any issues users may encounter during the launch.  Moreover, by monitoring how employees use your intranet and engage with the content post-launch, it will enable you to further improve your usage goals and User Experience, helping you craft a more efficient, easier to navigate intranet that always delivers relevant employee-centric content.
