About this Webinar
Intranets may not be naturally social, but the people who use them and organisations where they exist certainly are. Many organisations are now recognising the importance of social intranets for workforce engagement and productivity.
If you are thinking of deploying a social intranet or want to add social features to an existing intranet there are now many mature software options available to you, but which tools should you be considering?
Headshift | Dachis Group's workforce engagement practice has helped many firms bring their existing IT systems to life by adding a social layer that helps people get their work done more effectively. In this 40 minute showcase Webinar, learn from our practical experiences about:
- What is a social intranet.
- What are the key features of a social intranet (and the problems they help to solve).
- Get an overview of the best-of-breed social intranet software tools.
- Find where and how SharePoints fits.
Agenda
- Defining social intranet software.
- Key features of social intranets.
- Vendor overviews.
- What about SharePoint?
I'm hosting a short 40 minute Webinar on 28th Feb at 11am (AEST - Sydney time) to provide a quick overview of social intranets and the leading software tools in this space. This is very much a technology-focused session to help people learn a bit more about the options that are available in the market.
Open government; resilient state: Innovating for government in NSW
If you work for government – or with government – whether federal, state or local, this one-day forum is for you.
GovCamp for youThis GovCamp “unconference” is simply a space to open up the public sphere conversation - to create a comfortable place where new thinking becomes possible and enables new outcomes. There are no long presentations and the topics are yours - you get to create the agenda.
So this GovCamp is about how government works, as well as how it works for citizens. It's about the pressures of needing to do better government with less; about meeting growing public needs and expectations within an increasingly transparent and stretched public space.
It's also about leverage points for innovation in NSW, such as connective technologies and open data. We hope to hear some big-picture policy ideas and some pragmatic new-ways-of-working.
GovCampNSW is about the power of ideas and conversation. It aspires to build upon the gov-tech / 2.0 focus and look beyond to shaping innovation in government in NSW.
Discussion will include:
- Cultural change leading to open government.
- Social technologies and service delivery.
- Policy 2.0: Why do apps have all the fun?
For more info on the program and format OR to suggest topics you'd be interested in discussing on the day, please visit the GovCampNSW website at www.govcampnsw.info.
GovCamp is for people like you
Public sector practitioners, advisers and leaders who are excited by these challenges, who seek to better understand the risks and opportunities within emerging trends.
There are no clever corporate games; just dialogue and an open exchange of ideas. It's a Saturday. It's free time, casual and as "off-the-record" as you need. And because it's shared conversation, you'll take away even more than you contribute.
For my part, a recurring Gov 2.0 theme for me is social innovation and the role of the non-profit sector in service delivery. So I hope to see a good mix of government people, agitators for change (like me), engaged citizens and also the non-profit sector at this first GovCamp for NSW.
BTW I'll be helping out, co-facilitating the conversation cafe and maybe a presentation.
I’m presenting at the Institute of Information Management (IIM) NSW chapter meeting on 25th October, about moving from systems of record to systems of engagement:
Social Media guru, James Dellow will give us a briefing on some of the emerging trends in the way Social Media tools are changing the way organisations are thinking about recordkeeping, information and knowledge. If pressed, James might also offer insights into the latest technology and tools such as Jive, tibbr, Yammer, Socialtext, Drupal Commons, and the rest!
Where: Sydney CBD, Australia
When: Wednesday, October 26, 2011 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM
For more details and to register, see the IIM’s registration page for this event.

Alas, I won't be in Zurich (actually, I'm heading off to Perth for the week shortly). However, if you are in the Zurich area you might like to meet up with Christoph Schmaltz and Lee Provoost from the Headshift | Dachis Group's London team at bar Andorra in Zurich on August 10 starting from 7 PM.
We’ve got a whole lot of intranet goodness happening this coming month…

I’ve said before, that its interesting how people latch on to ‘Social Business’ but not ‘Social Business Design’. It reminds me of both the long winded debates in the knowledge management community about the nature of ‘knowledge’ and in other circles when I’ve met marketing folks who only want to talk about promotion. In both cases, my reaction was that they were missing the bigger picture.
