Most intranet or employee directories are the most used, if not most popular, applications on the corporate intranet. Most pull key contact information directly from the HR database or ERP; others allow employees to update and maintain their own information.
For those organizations like IBM that allow employees to edit parts of their profile (but not key reporting information like title, department, reporting lines, etc.), an over-looked and under-appreciated challenge often occurs: ensuring that employees actually keep their information up-to-date.
An internal study by IBM some years ago found out that 40% of employee directory listings (called Blue Pages) had not been updated at all in the previous 9 month period. A lot of tacit knowledge and information is left unreported in employee profiles. That in itself is not a big problem if you know who you

Thanks Mike (my pleasure). When you do get to write about it, do let us know and I'll help spread the gospel 🙂
Cheers, Toby
