08 Nov Andy Jankowski to Deliver Opening Keynote at the 2011 Ragan Intranet Summit
NEW YORK, New York – November 6, 2011 – The Intranet Benchmarking Forum is delighted to announce that IBF Global Director Andy Jankowski will be delivering the opening keynote speech at the forthcoming Ragan Communications 2011 Intranet Summit in Chicago on November 15th. Jankowski’s presentation is entitled “The Digital Workplace Maturity Model: Moving from publishing to people.”
The 2011 Intranet Summit, organized by Ragan Communications, is a one-day conference which brings together thought leaders in the intranet space. The conference explores various themes including how organisations can fundamentally improve their intranet and integrate social tools. It takes place at the University of Chicago’s Gleacher Center in Chicago on November 15, 2011.
Andy Jankowski said, “I’m honored to be delivering the opening keynote at such a prestigious event. When it comes to communication, Ragan are number one and it’s no surprise that they’ve assembled such an excellent line-up including Becky Graebe from SAS and Blair Klein from AT&T.”
Jankowski continued “Social tools are transforming intranets and internal communications. The home page is no longer just a place to publish corporate news. It’s about facilitating real conversations and surfacing content that comes directly from employees. I’ll be talking about the Intranet Benchmarking Forum’s own Digital Workplace Maturity Model. Based on years of experience benchmarking the world’s leading intranets, this tool can help intranet teams and internal communication functions think strategically about their intranet. At last you really can use your intranet to deliver more effective messages, increase employee engagement and improve internal processes.”
The keynote at the Ragan Communications 2011 Intranet Summit is the third speaking engagement in a very busy fall for Jankowski. Having already spoken at the Social Intranet Summit and KMWorld 2011, further presentations include an appearance at PS Engage 2011.
