May 132011
I’ve signed up for this years’ IBF-24 Event.
IBF 24 is a FREE 24 hour online interactive broadcast from the Intranet Benchmarking Forum, showcasing live intranet tours and the latest from industry thought leaders.
I believe this to be a unique peak in to the kitchens of the bigger companies’ intranets, their communication strategies and tools and the implementation of social tools.
The latter is especially something I’m interested in as there is some resistance within a lot of bigger companies to many of these tools because they put the emphasis on the word “Social” while the core functionality allows easier and more fluid communication among staff.
The sit is quite long, as it goes around the world and around the clock. For people in the same time zone as me, it’s running from 12.00 noon on the 17th of May to 12 the next day!
I have made a selection of the ones I am most interested in and would like to follow. Because of the schedule posted on the site, contains the times in the different time zones, I’ve added the GMT+2 Local time (where I’m currently at). This can help you to convert them all to your own a bit easier.
