Creating the Successful Law Firm Intranet: Webinar 3 - Develop
(The third in a five-part webinar series hosted by Nina Platt Consulting, Inc.)

What is a successful law firm intranet? An intranet should be a business productivity tool. An intranet's success is measured by the increased efficiency of the lawyers and staff who use it. Building a successful intranet involves having a good strategy, a realistic plan and involving users in every step of the process. A successful intranet begins with effectively following a five-step process: Research, Design, Develop, Rollout and Measure. Nina Platt Consulting, Inc. is hosting a five-part webinar series designed to teach you the steps to creating a successful intranet.
