The actual use of the intranet shows how important it is to clearly communicate the added value of a specific tool or function should such tool or function be used. To date, it is only the basic tools like a file manager and the wiki as a shared information pool that have been used to a greater extent.  Other possibilities, like the discussion forums, have been tested but have not been used any further, despite the fact that they are working. Thus, although the intranet may well be seen as a central point of collaboration, it has not fully developed its potential significance –perhaps because of the well-working organisational model with little need for centralized decision-making.  Even if not as THE central point, however, such an approach is still recommendable in the sense that it carries the potential for a central “drop-in-centre” for information, communication and collaboration.
