Intranet
Join the intranet conference track and get equipped to handle the crucial challenges that today’s intranet professionals are facing. During this complete 1-day program, you will learn how to:
- Prepare for key emerging intranet trends
- Get the best out of a small or non-existing intranet budget
- Use your intranet for effective sharing of knowledge
- Increase your intranet adoption rate
- Combine formal and collaborative intranet content into a winning recipe
This year’s key topics include:
- Adoption of social features on your intranet: Everybody talks about the social intranet, and many organizations are implementing one or more social tools, but how do you ensure adoption? Hear from Claire Flanagan how CSC tackled the issue with a successful social business strategy, and from Elizabeth Lupfer how Verizon moved from a 1.0 to a more engaging, social 2.0 intranet.
- The changing role of the intranet manager: Hear from IKEA’s internal information manager Beth Gleba how the modern intranet manager has an ever larger role to play in transforming a company for success. She will also cover how to prepare for intranets in the future.
- Knowledge sharing and collaboration: Hot topics in the intranet world. The potential gains for organizations are significant, if implemented right. Hear a real-life experience from Rachel Yang at Johns Hopkins University where knowledge sharing is essential, and see how Kate Grimes from Perkins Eastman has built a successful support portal to help employees.
- Finding content contributors for your intranet: Content is king on the intranet, and finding the right content managers and contributors is essential to keeping your intranet going. A fresh look at how to approach this will be presented by Andrew Jayne from Transfield Services Americas.
- How to move your intranet forward: Hear the compelling story from Julian Diamond at Arup about how he discovered what works well and what doesn’t on his company’s intranet. This created the momentum for a full strategic review of the intranet, with impressive results.Read more in “Is your intranet broke? How will you know?“
