AegonNet and Self Service (Intranet 2009)

Breakout session at Intranet 2009 on 'AEGONNet and self service' by Paulien van der Lee (Online Communications Manager).

Gives overview of the development of their intranet (focus Aegon The Netherlands) and what they're doing on employee self service using intranet.

AegonNet consists of 3 parts: eHRM manager, eHRM employee and eHRM worker.

Introduced first self service modules some time ago: vacation planning. Plan your vacation removing the role of HR.

Did intranet redesign by learning from old one. Brought the amount of page types back to a minimum.

Now they have more self service modules. For employees:

  1. Vacation planning,
  2. My education (no education outside this module!),
  3. HR cycle (manager-employee talks, appraisal, etc.
  4. Employee benefits choice system,
  5. My facility services (meeting reservation system, etc)

For managers:

  1. View your department
  2. Salary change procedure
  3. Central account administration (role administration)
  4. Central invoice management

They are working on modules for 'Aegon Flexshop' and 'Declarations/Expenses'.

Paulien shows a screenshot of their intranet (HR part). Looks nice, not too crowded homepage. Also shows plans for new/updated homepage. New design is focused on unification of intranets. Used 'card sorting' to find out what the design should be and the names/titles of the parts. They have two profiles for managers, because a manager is also an employee.

Redesigning their intranet will take years, Paulien thinks.

The screenshot she showed focused on the HR part of the intranet. Corporate news can be found on their intranet homepage.

The governance of their intranet is divided into editorial offices (80 in total!).

They're thinking about global people finder to work on one global intranet (- this presentation is about Aegon NL's intranet).

They are working on 'fun and intranet'. But priorities are elsewhere at the moment.

They have one HR system: Peoplesoft. The platform for their intranet is Morello (version 5.7).

Keep the Intranet Small

Image
This tweet by Jonathan Phillips ( @digitaljonathan ) triggered to finalize this post, that's been burning in my draft box. I've always been intrigued by how unsuccessful many intranets are. And there are all kinds of good reasons for intranet failure. One of the things that is hardly ever mentioned is: Shouldn't the intranet be smaller? Usually intranets are huge. Lots and lots of pages with lots and lots of content. With complex navigation. The intranet  evaluation surveys almost always show employees only use the news page and people finder. But still we build and maintain nice big intranets. Not only stats point to smaller intranets. There are others reasons as well. I came up with a few. If you have more, just leave a comment. Here's my list: -            user requirements: users don't require large intranet -            search/navigation: searching and navigating a small intranet is easier than in a large intranet -            mobile: the content of the

Innovation in Turbulent Times

I love reading articles about innovation. And every now and then you read one that is very interesting. "Innovation in Turbulent Times" by Rigby, Gruver, Allen (in HBR, June 2009) is one of them. This article takes fashion companies as an example for continuous, year-by-year innovation. And how successful fashion companies are usually led by two people: a left-brainer and a right-brainer. "If you don't have highly creative people in positions of real authority, you won't get innovation. Most companies in other industries ignore this lesson." They extend this to show that successful non-fashion companies have the same kind of leadership. And this kind of leadership is usually also characterized by a long-term relationship. I think this concept can also be extended to teams and projects as well. More often than not, people are good at one or the other: thinking up great concepts or ideas, or, making them. In teams and projects we can learn from this as
