The Intranet Governance Plan.

The governance plan we put in place on our SharePoint and Omnia intranet projects, written up as a guide you can use as a template. It sets out who owns each part of the intranet, how often content gets reviewed, where new content should live and which KPIs to track, with a roles table and a 90 day plan for putting it in place.

A 17-page guide to the governance plan we put in place on our intranet projects, with diagrams and checklists you can use as a template.

  • Where new content should live
  • The KPIs worth tracking

Questions about the guide.

What is an intranet governance plan?

It sets out who is responsible for each part of the intranet, how content gets published and reviewed, and how you measure whether the intranet is working. Without one, content goes out of date after launch and nobody is sure who should fix it.

What does the guide cover?
  • roles and responsibilities, with a table of who owns what
  • review cycles for pages and documents
  • where new content should live
  • the KPIs worth tracking
  • a 90 day plan for putting it in place

Who is it for?

Internal communications and intranet managers running a SharePoint or Omnia intranet, whether you are planning a new one or tidying up one that has been live for a while.

Can you help us put it in place?

Yes. We run governance as part of our intranet projects and as a separate piece of work for existing intranets, covering owners, review dates, permissions and training for editors.
