The causes of failure
“Most ... companies manage the implementation project in a purely technical perspective without systematically facing the organizational and the change management aspects."

Change management
Resistance to change
Three domains of change• Technical• Organisational• Individual
![Page 9: Change management is paramount](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/55a44b081a28ab74028b4742/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Principles to drive intranet change
![Page 10: Change management is paramount](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/55a44b081a28ab74028b4742/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. Reverse the thinking
BAD: A new (or changed) intranet is just a technical project
BETTER: A new (or changed) intranet will need significant change management
BEST: The intranet is a significant tool for organisational change
![Page 11: Change management is paramount](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/55a44b081a28ab74028b4742/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2. Seek senior sponsorship
Patron
Champion
Sell the business value to them
![Page 12: Change management is paramount](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/55a44b081a28ab74028b4742/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
3. Maximise employee participation
Moral principle
Pragmatic principle
Avoid rather than overcome resistance
![Page 13: Change management is paramount](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/55a44b081a28ab74028b4742/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
4. Increase the appetite for change
You can lead a horse to water ...
Gaining permission
Unfreeze – Transition – Refreeze
![Page 14: Change management is paramount](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/55a44b081a28ab74028b4742/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
5. Design for change
Change is the only constant
Intranet design must be extensible
Intranet processes must facilitate change
![Page 15: Change management is paramount](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/55a44b081a28ab74028b4742/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
6. Write a comm’s planPositioning, branding, messagingTable listing all planned communication•Timing•Purpose•Audience•Message•Format/channel•Desired reaction/response•Responsibility
![Page 16: Change management is paramount](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/55a44b081a28ab74028b4742/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
7. Test user reactions and usefulness
Test design choices early
Usable does not imply useful or used
Run pilots in authentic contexts
![Page 17: Change management is paramount](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/55a44b081a28ab74028b4742/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
8. Generate a critical mass of users
Create expectation and excitement
Most useful content first
Royal decree

...and one final thought
Lighten up a bit!
