Having strong success criteria will help an organization ensure that they have a clear purpose for their intranet. They can align strategic objectives to comprehensive targets or milestones as those evolve over time, as well as improve the company’s maturity for intranet technology, strategies and communications as a whole by achieving them.

• Health & adoption: Success criteria to gauge the usage, effectiveness and adoption of your intranet
• User perception: Gauge the feedback and input from employees to understand their perception of the intranet over time
• Business value: To ensure your intranet is achieving your business goals and measure the business impact of your intranet on functional metrics over time

Health & adoption 

Measuring the usage and level of engagement of your users over time will be a clear indication of how it’s being adopted, as well as how effective it is as a primary medium of communication and information sharing for your organization.

• Adoption: Weekly unique logins target: 60% of users
• Consumption: Avg. weekly content views per user target: 5 content views
• Contribution: % of users creating new content per week target: 10% of users

As time goes on and your organization’s intranet behavior matures, you should see a progression where your focus evolves from weekly adoption to consumption to contribution.
