The most difficult part about trying to justify the existence of an intranet is that you’re trying to get management to invest hard cash for mostly soft returns. These soft returns come in the form of improved employee productivity and self-sufficiency, higher staff morale, a higher level of inter-departmental collaboration and communication.
However this does not mean that you cannot develop a business case and show a return on investment model. So, if your Council intends to increase efficiency, whilst driving down costs and at the same time considerably improving communication and collaboration among employees, then it seems that investment in an intranet is the only way forward. Measuring value and return on investment for internal business systems has always been important, but now Councils want to be assured that the systems they’re spending money on offer a significant return. ROI has never been more vital than it is now. You need to be able to prove the business system is actually helping people do their jobs more efficiently.
