<\/a>NEW YORK, New York – November 6, 2011 – The\u00a0Intranet Benchmarking Forum<\/a> is delighted to announce that IBF Global Director\u00a0Andy Jankowski<\/a> will be delivering the opening keynote speech at the forthcoming\u00a0Ragan Communications 2011 Intranet Summit<\/a> in Chicago on November 15th.\u00a0 Jankowski\u2019s presentation is entitled \u201cThe Digital Workplace Maturity Model<\/a>: Moving from publishing to people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2011 Intranet Summit, organized by\u00a0Ragan Communications<\/a>, is a one-day conference which brings together thought leaders in the intranet space. \u00a0The conference explores various themes including how organisations can fundamentally improve their intranet and integrate social tools. It takes place at the University of Chicago\u2019s\u00a0Gleacher Center<\/a> in Chicago on\u00a0November 15, 2011.<\/p>\n

Andy Jankowski said, \u201cI\u2019m honored to be delivering the opening keynote at such a prestigious event.\u00a0 When it comes to communication, Ragan are number one and it\u2019s no surprise that they\u2019ve assembled such an excellent line-up including Becky Graebe<\/a> from\u00a0SAS<\/a> and Blair Klein<\/a> from\u00a0AT&T<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jankowski continued \u201cSocial tools are transforming intranets and internal communications. The home page is no longer just a place to publish corporate news. It\u2019s about facilitating real conversations and surfacing content that comes directly from employees.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be talking about the Intranet Benchmarking Forum\u2019s own Digital Workplace Maturity Model. Based on years of experience benchmarking the world\u2019s leading intranets, this tool can help intranet teams and internal communication functions think strategically about their intranet.\u00a0 At last you really can use your intranet to deliver more effective messages, increase employee engagement and improve internal processes.\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u00a0Social Intranet Summit<\/a> and\u00a0KMWorld 2011<\/a>, further presentations include an appearance at\u00a0PS Engage 2011<\/a>.<\/p>\n
