Sessions at J. Boye about Social intranets on Thursday 10th May

In this presentation, we will discuss how to transform your intranet from a traditional static site to a social destination where employees are connecting, collaborating and creating. Learn how activity streams can become the new social inbox, how homepages are a thing of the past, and how giving your employees the power to create and connect can yield tangible business and engagement results.

You will learn about all of the elements necessary to drive this transformation including:

Social intranet goals
Functionality and capabilities
Usability
Change management
Use case development
Phased rollouts

Imagine 300 senior managers, and their support staff, all joining your company on the same day. That’s the challenge that faced the UK Parliament following the last election. This new cohort of highly-skilled, highly mobile representatives demanded new and flexible ways of keeping in touch; a desktop intranet just doesn’t suit their ways of working. In response, Parliament delivered an award-winning mobile intranet.

This had a simple design and delivered the key functionality an MP needs when out and about – a live feed of what’s going on in the chamber, a calendar of future business, maps and key contacts. This case study covers how they chose content and functionality, what technology choices were made, what they learned along the way, and how they’re building on this.

This presentation will provide three examples where WellsFargo added social functionality to internal communications and the very different user participation and results of each.
