There is an annual report by the Nielsen Norman Group detailing the best Intranet designs from a pool of nominated designs. It does cost $248. I have used this report in the past and personally found it worth the money.

If you don't want to buy the report it lists the Best Practices that it covers and you can google these to get more detailed information.

Best Practices

  • Expertise finders (locating coworkers with specific knowledge)
  • Staff directory and employee profile pages

  • Curating content across the intranet
  • User/Employee-contributed content
