The choir has been singing for some time. Though most executives haven't bought into the gospel, they've heard the message and are taking notice: the intranet is a valuable asset. According to Jane McConnell's annual Global Intranet Trends 2009 report, c-level executives now participate on the intranet steering committees of half of the respondent companies in this year's study. While it is true that half of the remaining organizations don't have a senior executive actively engaged, this finding represents a marked increase over 2007. In 2007, only one-third of the respondent intranets had the privledge of a c-level executive on the itnranet steering committee.
