A presentation with a few key things that we think and intranet helps with when implemented correctly in a law firm.

1. An intranet! Why bother?

3. Improved productivity
• Get more done by knowing “where” to look
• Fast access to the right information
• “Saves face” if I don’t have to ask someone

4. New employees get up-to-speed faster
• No more “who do I ask”
• “Where do I look first” and only then “Who do
I ask”

5. Reduce dependency on individuals
• No more “Ask Bob, he’s been here for years”.
• Capture knowledge, share knowledge

6. Staff list & detailed profiles/photos
• Who’s who in the other office?
• Connecting our experts together

7. Improved working relationships
• The more I know about you
• The better we are likely to work together
• “Online” social networks build real world
relationships

8. Structured place to ask questions
• Build up a knowledgebase
• Avoid repetition

9. Reduction in email
• Email is where information & knowledge go to die!
• Reduce emails to all@yourdomain.com
• Less email to file & find

10. Better internal news sharing
• More timely than weekly email
• Staff can comment/interact with news

11. Social interaction
• Peer recognition
• Likes, Comments, Follows
• Microblogging

12. One stop shop for information
• Easier searching than shared drives
• Quicker access to important information
