The intranet has been around for ooh I don’t know, circa 15+ or so years and as an industry we’ve yet still to come up with an academic qualification that internationally recognises our achievements. Other industries and career paths have recognised qualifications, without which people’s CV’s simply wouldn’t make it onto a job shortlist. But nothing exists for intranet managers/people – or does it?
Why do you think this is, and is there a need for such a qualification? As intranet managers we need to have many different capabilities and comptencies in a wide variety of disciplines. It would be good to get some formal recognition for our skills would it not?
I reckon if such a qualification existed, not only would it be an extremely interesting course to undertake, it would help our industry to become better regarded within our businesses?
