Nokians (Nokia employees) and their intranet landscape were the focus of Intranets live in the first week of this month. The whole event continued it's move upward, building on the best of previous events, while leaving the things that didn't work behind. Close to 300 people attended this month. The technical hitches were fewer and less disruptive than in the past. Where they did occour was probably a good thing considering what they're responsible for, the UK Department of Defense who were to feature couldn't due to snow and a lack of access from home. This time round the co-host was Richard Dennison, Senior Manager Social Media for BT (British Telecom), who with Paul Millar (Host and founder of the Intranet Benchmarking Forum ) and Paul Levy did a great job of bringing some global overview to the topics that came up. February's Intranets Live event was dedicated to 2.0, with BT being in the vanguard of enterprise 2.0 Richard offered some very interesting insights...

In part one of my Intranets Live Feb 09 event coverage I talked through Nokia's "News hub" front page, news item comments and Nokia's use of the Kyte platform to deliver video for multiple devices/platforms from a single source. I also talked through William Hudson's discussions of image use on intranet pages. Here in part two I'm going to cover Nokia's personal profile pages. Nokia Personal Profiles Angela Huffman from Nokia used the last segment of Intranets Live Feb 09 to share the personal profiles the intranet delivers for each employee. Angela outlined that the current look feel and functionality was being reviewed and there were plans to "share more information and improve searchability". Angela outlined how the interface was changing from tabs to "FaceBook like portlets". For Nokians the 'presence' indicators available via the intranet are very very important. The system draws information from multiple sources SAP, proj...

I've been asked to present a Live Intranet tour for the Intranet Benchmarking Forum's 24 hour event in a couple of days. I've blogged about the IBF intranet's live online meetings previsously, this time I'll be presenting for their second (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) Intranets 24 hour event. Over the span of 24 hours the IBF team will be hosting a huge number of world leading intranet live tours and a large number of intranet thought leaders. Interestingly they've adopted the "digital workplace" as a sub title for the event. This is a theme of web workplace or digital workplace was originally raised by Jane McConnell on her blog Globally Local and Locally Global. It is great to see because the term intranet is so far from the reality for many organisations in this day and age. Attendance is FREE and I'd highly recommend anyone with an interest in intranets attend. It is on 2nd and 3rd of June so SOON. For your free ticket to attend you...

Today one of the people I follow on Twitter asked the following question. @ChristySeason Asking all #intranet tweeps: Does your company publish employees' titles on your employee directory/look up/phone book? In following Intranets Live I've been lucky enough to see some great intranets. As such I was able to reply to Christy with the following Nokia do Deloitte do (see the end of the post) Christy's question also prompted me to document my own intranet's profile page. The following image is from the view other's get of my profile. When I look at my profile I see every item that is recorded. I'll save you from that, another post perhaps, if you're interested. DorjeM PS a couple of Vendors I've been reminded of, thanks Crhis and Carolyn, also have screen shots of their profile pages on the web: ThoughtFarmer - intranet software - slideshow of screen shots and Intranet connections - software solution
