It's a big question. The approach you mentioned is very much focused on the details when you might be better served figuring out the high-level design first. It sounds like you have a lot of data and might be overloading your users.
I would recommend that you do the following:
Ask your users. They live right down the hall, so this is easier for you. Ask them what kinds of things they go to the intranet for right now. (You can ask them to talk about hypothetical situations, but that's a different technique, and yields speculative data.) Ask if you can watch them use the intranet.
Aggregate their feedback and try to see patterns in it. Can you group data according to some logical classification? Is it better for you to provide a database-style search interface? What about both -- they're not mutually exclusive?
Look for examples. Look at websites that work for you: Stack Overflow? Amazon? Netflix? Whatever it is. What can you learn from how they organize and present information?
Mock up a simple prototype. And when I say 'simple' it could just be markers and sticky notes on a whiteboard. Use this low-fidelity prototype with a few users and see if they can figure it out. Don't "help", see what they make of it -- see if they can find what they're looking for.
Iterate. Do steps 1-4 over and over as you approach a design.
Good luck! This is a real challenge, but if you make a system that works well you will save your company a huge amount of wasted time; and time is money.
Well, this is really about "web user interface design" and the fact that you are on a company intranet really doesn't matter too much one way or another, except for the fact that you can assume users know certain things about your company already.

这是一个大问题。您提到的方法非常注重细节,而您首先弄清楚高层设计可能会更好。听起来您有大量数据,并且可能会使您的用户超载。
我建议您执行以下操作:
祝你好运!这是一个真正的挑战,但如果您创建一个运行良好的系统,您将为您的公司节省大量浪费的时间;时间就是金钱。

好吧,这实际上是关于“网络用户界面设计”的问题,而且您在公司内部网上这一事实无论怎样都没有太大关系,除了,因为您可以假设用户已经了解有关您公司的某些信息。
