We spend a lot of time at Rogue talking about intranets. I mean, they are our jam. We focus tons […]

“Persona” is a big buzzword right now in our world (that is, the world of SharePoint if you are new […]

After gathering custom intranet requirements for over a decade, the team of consultants who founded Rogue Services and Solutions, a niche SharePoint […]

I once had a client ask me if we could “do governance.” Sure. It’s like “doing life” or “doing parenting.” […]

Have you ever heard of “digital asset management?” I hadn’t either, until Rogue worked closely with a marketing firm on hubley branding. This group really knew their stuff–and it was obvious because they used words like “digital asset management,” known as DAM in the biz.

I have a confession: I’m old. The oldest at Rogue, at least. Thus, I’ve had a few jobs in my day. Not as many as my millennial brother (burrrrrn), but still enough to know plenty about how different companies function. Some HR departments are passive service organizations–which is cool if you’re there. And then some HR departments OWN IT.

I love the 90s, and I love Janet Jackson–Miss Jackson if you’re nasty. As she is a constant in my kitchen dance parties with my children, I’d like to thank her for the inspiration for this blog post. Janet’s song, “What Have You Done for Me Lately” (oooh-oooh-ooooh-yeah), is all about a relationship gone stale.

Our most popular blog post to date is this one, which is about the problem of SharePoint user adoption across an enterprise. Then we gave you some solutions here.

I wish there was a definitive answer to this question, because it comes up a lot in the world of SharePoint intranets. In the modern workplace, how much social is too much?

The most common question we get from communicators is how they can know that their intranet is working. After all, an intranet is an investment, and for any investment, you should know what your users are getting for the money and whether the new tool is worthwhile.

SharePoint was ahead of its time, in many ways, as a browser-accessible enterprise solution back at the start of the aughts. But it certainly wasn’t mobile. In Microsoft’s defense, nothing was really designed FOR mobility 13-15 years ago, not until the iPod, iPhone, and iPad explosion.

“Employee engagement” is a much buzzed about key phrase in the modern workplace. Gallup, Forbes, and the Harvard Business Review all have opinions about it. Engagement does not refer to happiness, nor does it refer to entitlement.
