MOO - the BBC's creative network Until now I've been unable to blog about Shane's great work at the BBC which I first saw as an attendee of the Intranets Live Feb 09 event. During Intranets Live Feb 09 Shane Samarawikrema, Experience Designer at the BBC , delivered a great presentation on MOO the BBC's new creative network. Boy have these guys get done some cool stuff. "MOO - ideas you can milk" is the BBC's creative network - the vision was to increase innovation, creativity and collaboration across the organisation. An intranet based training initative for sharing creative techniques and informal education horizontally across the BBC. Vision was from the top, goal was to engage bottom up. Overall the project was commissioned by the Creative Audiences Training team - a "big up" to them for having the vision and desire to see MOO through to what is becoming - a great resource for the BBC. Andy Tedd (consultant) identified that the audience was p...

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...

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...

The third in the series of IntranetsLive events I have to say this one was much impro ved on the first one [notes on it by me ]. Very much more professional, snappier and very useful. Hosting were Paul Miller and Paul Levy. I took notes this time, rather than live blogging - hence the delay in getting my notes online. Infact so slow that the 4 th in the Intranets Live series is in about 6 hours time. This is a record of what occurred, for those who couldn't attend. It is also a record of some of the great work that has been done by the organisations IntranetsLive profiled in the third event. As always the mistakes and omissions are mine alone. I've posted screen shots, and where appropriate I've removed sensitive material - if you would prefer the screen shots are removed please contact me, I'm very happy to address any concerns immediately. 245 people joined in with this event. Phillips Healthcare First up for the new year was Candice Cahill from Phillips Health...
