What are the application of intranet?

Networking among individuals and teams is an integral part of obtaining and providing information to other team players and management. Developing personal contacts within an organisation is important to understanding and keeping up to date with the needs of other as well as company policy. Networking also provides mentors who can assist with problem-solving, and increasing your skill level and business knowledge.

Many workers often make the mistake of learning only about those matters that directly relate to their own jobs. Instead, you should interact with customers and suppliers, and pursue networking opportunities. Otherwise, someone else with a broader view may scoop all those opportunities that come your way.

It is important to choose contacts within the organisation who have access to the sort of information that will be of value to you, your team members and management in making quality decisions and suggestions. The information you gather, will broaden your knowledge of the bigger picture of the business, how it runs and what makes it successful. It does, however, take time to build relationships with people whom you can count on and trust to provide reliable information as opposed to gossip.
