98% member satisfaction ✔️
97% of teammates happy with how often they hear from leadership ✔️
15 years running as one of the Best Places to Work in Indiana ✔️

What do these results have in common?

Doug True, CEO of FORUM Credit Union, points to one habit: posting on the organization's intranet, almost every day. It's transformed a one-way broadcast into a valuable two-way communication channel.

Doug's commitment to transparent communication reshaped both workplace culture and the member experience. Now he wants to share what he's learned with others.

On September 10th, Doug sits down with ThoughtFarmer President, Darren Gibbons, for a conversation on what it really takes to get executive leaders posting and engaging on the intranet, the payoff, and what's at risk if you don't. You'll walk away with a clear idea of how to pitch your leadership team on getting involved.

We're proud to share that ThoughtFarmer made the 2026 Shortlist for Knowledge Management and earned a 2026 FrontRunners badge in the same category. 🎉

This recognition is especially meaningful, because both are based entirely on verified, real user reviews from the people who use ThoughtFarmer every day.

What would happen if you put the fate of your intranet's design in your employees' hands?

It's a question few ask, and fewer find out the answer to.

But turns out, it can pay off. Big time.

For Deanna Daly's team at New York State Office of Cannabis Management, getting staff involved made all the difference.

As Deanna said herself, "By involving staff from the beginning, our intranet's identity wasn't just designed for employees—it was designed by them."

Only one week left to save your spot for our live session: Lessons from the best-designed intranets of 2026. Featuring three real award-winning intranets. Hosted by ThoughtFarmer's Wil Arndt, Creative Director, and Johnny Kuan, Senior User Experience Designer.

Three organizations’ with three different intranets. What did they have in common? Every design decision was deliberate. Hear the stories behind their paths to success, each taking a unique approach. A state agency that did something unexpected at launch: The New York State Office of Cannabis Mana...

The best designed intranets don't necessarily have the biggest budget or flashiest features. Instead, they're designed:

- For the people who actually use them
- With a distinct visual identity (that sometimes deliberately differs from the brand)
- With intentional, personal touches throughout

We can say that with confidence because we've seen it work firsthand.

This month we're hosting a live session featuring three of our 2026 Best Intranet Award finalists and their intranet design stories.

New York State Office of Cannabis Management's intranet team co-created the intranet's identity, including its mascot, alongside their staff with incredible adoption results.

Harris County Department of Education made the deliberate choice to break from their corporate brand identity to build something unique and welcoming.

Winnipeg Airports Authority proved that intention beats budget: one person, no design background, and an intranet that rivals teams ten times the size.

Join us June 17 at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT to talk through these lessons with ThoughtFarmer's Wil Arndt, Creative Director, and Johnny Kuan, Senior User Experience Designer.

Most employees know the information they need exists somewhere…

They just need a faster, more reliable way to get to it.

Search helps point you in the right direction—but sometimes you still have to dig through pages to find the exact answer.

ThoughtFarmer’s new AI Assistant builds on search by adding another layer of content discovery. By asking questions the same way you would ask a colleague, the AI Assistant provides instant, reliable answers with source links.

Employees get the information they need, when they need it.

And HR, IT, and Comms teams spend less time answering repetitive questions like “What’s our policy for this?”

And those aren’t the only benefits. Learn more about the new AI Assistant in our latest blog.

What does a great intranet partner actually look like?

Anita Speck, Managing Director of Marketing at , put it best:

"We really felt ThoughtFarmer was part of the FLCB team, not just a vendor. They were an extension of my marketing team."

For Anita, that collaborative approach made all the difference. Her small (but mighty!) team launched a brand new intranet in just 10 weeks.

In the first year, they saw a 58% increase in engagement, with 100% of employees visiting the site.

One of the biggest real-world impacts?

"The HUB has helped us work as one company. Our mortgage and bank teams now understand what each other are doing, and it’s made a huge difference in alignment and connection.”

Learn more about how Anita and the Florida Capital Bank team launched The HUB in our latest success story.

We just launched a brand new customer success story featuring —and it’s a great one 👏

Their ThoughtFarmer intranet (The Vault) has become a core part of how their team finds information, works more efficiently, and stays connected.

Here are a few results from their first year:

🔎 14,000 searches
📄 17,500 document downloads
⏱️ 53+ hours saved every week across the organization
💬 3,500+ likes and comments
🎉 2,000+ peer shout-outs

How did they do it? They focused on the core of what makes an intranet thrive:

– Making information easy to find
– Reducing back-and-forth
– Giving teams ownership over content
– Creating simple ways for people to engage

It’s a great reminder that you don’t need to overcomplicate things to see real impact.

👏 Huge congrats to the Bonvenu team on what they’ve built. If you’re curious, the full story is well worth a read:
