Building on discussions around the future of intranets (People-based intranets, ubiquitous access), James has posted the first Future scenario, describing the first day at work for new employee, 'Sarah'. Here's an extract:
Sarah's email inbox has a message from Morris, the intranet. Hmm, “Welcome to the business Sarah!”, it seems even the intranet is friendly. Firing up “Morris”, Sarah spends a little time familiarising herself with the system she’s expecting to spend a fair bit of time in.
Part of Morris displays the standard corporate links and tools, but the right-hand half of the page seems to be just for her. There’s a prominent box linking her to an induction package, including a few get-up-to-speed videos, some recorded by other staff members.
This is thought-provoking stuff, with the ideas of people, social networks and integrated systems right at the very forefront. Read the full scenario over at the Step Two blog.
