The digital workplace is undergoing a transformation, but company intranets are often left behind.
Many organizations struggle to provide an engaging intranet experience, and many traditional intranet projects fail to meet organizational objectives. According to Gartner, “Since the emergence of the intranet in the mid-1990s, organizations have seen wave after wave of intranet failure, renewal, stagnancy, and failure once again.” Not only has the intranet been a singular failure within many organizations, it also has been a repeated failure. In the same report, Gartner states, “Enterprises that fail to adapt their intranet strategies will be swept into the next wave of intranet failure.”

How can we reconcile these successes when considering Gartner’s reports of intranet failure? Is technology the problem?
