I ran across an article over on Guy Kawasaki’s blog that bears sharing:
The Top Ten Stupid Ways to Hinder Market Adoption
Guy actually lists fourteen ways- buy ten, get four free! Guy is writing about adoption of startup web businesses, but there are pieces of this that apply to most any project, and nearly all of them apply to practically all web projects. For example, all of the issues regarding URLs mentioned will hold back your intranet application from working effectively within your company just as much as it will hinder adoption of an internet web application.
Some of these ideas also might bring added value to your projects as well- for example, should your internal websites for sharing information have email alerts or RSS feeds? How much better would they communicate internally for you if they did?
Overall, a good read that can bring value to any project- go check it out!
