Many thanks to the Intranet Benchmarking Forum for their sponsorship and to my friends at ThoughtFarmer for inviting me back to speak at this year’s Social Intranet Summit.
Thank you also to Tony Hsieh and Jenn Lim for inspiring this year’s topic.
Press Release: September 6, 2011 New York, NY
The Intranet Benchmarking Forum is delighted to announce that IBF Global Director Andy Jankowski will be speaking at the forthcoming Social Intranet Summit held in Vancouver on 28th September 2011. Jankowski’s presentation is entitled “The Science Linking Intranets to Happiness”.
The Social Intranet Summit, organized by OpenRoad and ThoughtFarmer, is a leading event in the intranet calendar. A prestigious mix of intranet managers, social software practitioners will provide a day of inspiring presentations and practical advice on how to drive business with a social intranet. The conference will be held at the stunning Vancouver Convention Centre (VCC) on the 28th September.
Andy Jankowski said, “I’m really looking forward to speaking again at the Social Intranet Summit in Vancouver. I had an excellent time last year, and it’s an honor to be asked back again especially with a line-up which includes influential figures like Shel Holtz and Stowe Boyd. “
Jankowski continued “This year I’m going to be talking about two subjects which are really close to my heart – positive psychology and intranets! They’re not often mentioned in the same sentence, but they should be. I’m going to explore how the latest research into positive psychology shown in books like Tony Hsieh’s “Delivering Happiness” and in Jenn Lim’s “Delivering Happiness Movement”, demonstrates how the social intranet can actually have a very real effect on employee happiness and wellbeing.”
