Re: "Feasibility of developing an intranet" (Planning Proposal)
Project Description
Our company is an internationally-based company that is extremely spread out geographically, and even on an internal level, in its architectural structure. Managers often wish to communicate efficiently and confidentially amongst themselves regarding the performance of other members of the staff. However, at present, this is difficult to accomplish. Of course the company could build a new physical structure to accommodate needs for better face-to-face connectivity amongst individuals, but another and less expensive potential solution exists, that of the development of an in-house intranet, or online connectivity structure.
Why an intranet? Why not simply make use of the World Wide Web, given currently existing corporate computer structures allow for such connections?

They could even be given an anonymous a 'pop quiz' regarding how to use the proposed intranet, so the general level of competency of the users could be assessed in a fashion that would not affect their personal job assessment at present. Secondly, the technical designers in-house would be given this informational data, both qualitative and quantitative. The designers would then come up with a collective plan to meet the needs of the managers, and determine if additional out of house personnel would be needed to be contracted to complete the project. Lastly, the technical staff must determine…

"In the future," said Drucker, "it was possible that all employment would be managerial in nature, and we would then have progressed from a society of labor to a society of management" (Witzel, p. 76).
