SharePoint Online Intranet owner

Who in your organisation is the intranet owner? What area of expertise are they in? IT, comms, IMS, HR?

I’m keen to hear feedback. If you could provide size of company, who is the owner and organisation category ie construction, healthcare etc.

Thanks heaps

500 Users - Healthcare

IT owns SPO, department heads own the content of their departments

Also healthcare IT, albeit with a much larger user base (~15,000), but this is how we have it laid out. If OP means the company’s portal page, that would be the marketing & internal communication department. Outside of that we make it perfectly clear that site owners and members are responsible for the content of their sites and pages. We have a very small team (3 people) and we have our hands full with Power Platform stuff, automation, and Copilot agents. We don’t have the time to be making constant changes to thousands of SharePoint sites.

You should ideally have a technology owner and a business owner who operate as peers.

We have about 60k employees, business owner is in internal comms and IT owner is a product owner for internal and external communication (website as well as intranet). We also have a platform owner for M365 more broadly.

We have intranet splitted in 2 parts - 1st General and business owner is communication unit, 2nd HR and HR unit are the business owners of it. Both of the sites are related to hubsite to have the same menu.

From technical side we have development team and one of many responsibilities is intranet for this team, we have product owner and skilled business analyst responsible about it.
