However, I think Kevin is using some serious tongue-in-cheek! Keep up the good work -- i'm going to add a link to this posting of ours in my entry today regarding hiring a manager or consultant.

Cause I am in the process of revamping one...what we probably need is a clear direction. Intranets are and should be self-running...when internal communicators attempt to manage them, we get in the way... Put a process, empower employees and get out of the way...I can see the difference here at the organization ( unfortunately, unable to reveal the name of the firm since there are policy issues) where I am witnessing a revolution. Have entrusted employees to start with simple applications like quizzes and trivia...slowly moving them to building tools which enhance the system...blogs and wikis will take shape later...

But intranets are dying aren't they? Thanks for the comment re: internal communications. And I absolutely agree - building competence and capability is critical. My point is that the competenect definitions need to go beyond what traditional internal communication skills are. Keep up the good work!
