An Intranet 2.0 means that both join forces and put their strengths together – the intranet as an existing, accepted and budgeted (!) information platform and Enterprise 2.0 as very compelling approach to move from a one2many communication to a highly interactive conversation and collaboration platform. Four good reasons to join forces:

• Web 2.0 features are on every intranet managers agenda
• “Cost of Doing Business” vs. ROI
• Many “given” use cases to start with
• Smooth way to Enterprise 2.0

This sounds promising but is just a start – open points remain:

• CMS or a Social Business Suite or an integration of both as technical platform? (see the last slides for a first approach)
• Is structure still required (I think yes) or are search and tagging sufficient?
• Is there still a need for complex editing work-flows within companies? (most of the participants said “No”)
• Do intranets still require multiple design templates to achieve a newspaper-like layout or is a blog-like design sufficient?

Looks like we are not running out of topics to cover here at besser20

Thanks to all participants for their active participation and the interesting discussion!
