Yesterday saw this year's 2nd IBF member meeting in the UK and 5th member meeting globally this year. Thankfully our great new meeting space had good air conditioning because we have untypically hot weather here in the UK at the moment!
A record attendance of 50 members made for a buzzy exchange of intranet news, ideas and plans for the first day, followed by a lovely evening out and a packed visit to BT centre near St Paul's cathedral. BT's intranet is currently top of IBF's benchmarking league tables in all 4 of our benchmarking areas.
Over the two days we heard updates on intranet changes from various members, a success story from Aviva about rapid Sharepoint 2007 implementation and intranet relaunch, heard and saw the use of videos and flip cams at Abbott Pharmaceuticals, discussed best practices demonstrated by members across communication & culture benchmarking and worked on practical social media policies.
We'll be picking up some key themes from the meeting over the next few blog posts, and for IBF members all the slides and documentation will be downloadable from our extranet next week.
