Jane,

We’re looking at the value for our whole intranet by extrapolating (is that the right word?!) the benefits from the top 20 business functions to indicate what it can be. So, it’s more than just applications.

Risk management is one of the 200 business functions IBF have indentified.

All our applications are already web enabled from our intranet. Risk assessments are carried out at all levels – intranet, application and individual – but it is how rigorously it is applied that decides what is the weakest link……….and how weak it is!

Hope that helps.

At the same time, will you be looking at risk management with the owners of these business applications? Assuming your move is to putting more and more on the intranet, it might be the appropriate time to see what measures they have in place (before or after putting their app on the intranet). I was surprised to see that risk management had a relatively low rating when I asked Global Intranet Survey participants to rate the issues they found the most relevant. One manager came back to me saying they had taken all the precautions necessary. My guess is that most haven’t. Am I wrong?

Richard,

Good question! The most important thing is it doesn’t stay as just a figure in a report or slide. I hope the people who decide intranet investment will take into account this figure instead of just ROI and approve more business cases because they have a better understanding of the overall value our intranet provides.

What will you do with the output i.e. the PowerPoint slide which says: ‘The BT Intranet is worth £xxm’?
