I am traveling again, the last few days (weeks) have been super-hectic here. I love the workshops I do for my clients, as well as, maybe even more, when they ask me to mentor their search teams. Every organization is unique, with unique challenges, search and content maturity level – and unique needs. What a great challenge each of them is!
While working on these challenges, I get to read great content, too. For this week, here is my list for you:

3 – An intranet needs to be managed as a product, not a series of projects
by James Robertson
James was the first day’s keynote speaker of IntraTeam Event. His most recent blog post is about an amazing approach which comes from Martin White, Intranet Focus, as much as I know, and was one of the primary takeaways of the conference: “a shift from managing the intranet as a series of stand-alone projects, to managing the intranet as a product.”
This approach can be applied to search as well – read James’s article and let me know what you think. I would love to hear your opinion!

Jonathan writes in his great post, which is the second piece in this series: “In a white paper presented recently at the World Economic Forum, the three variables — technology, learning and talent mobility — were mapped into 8 different work future scenarios. (…) Today, we’ll review these 8 workplace scenarios in greater depth and consider the implications of our digital workplace industry.”
