7 Traits of a Winning Intranet

Truly great intranets are like snow leopards; very rare, mysterious, and beautiful. Winning intranets are years in the making; building and enhancing slowly over time, supported by active executive champions and funding.

Emphasis on executive support — money follows the chiefs, and it flows down from the executive suite. And without funding, and the executive sponsorship to ensure it, your intranet will die a slow death.
