Thanks for visiting the Digital Workplace Group (DWG) website. You'll see this post may refer to the "Intranet Benchmarking Forum (IBF)," the "Digital Workplace Forum (DWF)" or "IBF Live." But that doesn't match our website name!
In a nutshell, we merged IBF and DWF into one service and changed our name to "Digital Workplace Group." The new name represents the broader set of services we've grown to offer, beyond an original focus on just intranets. We also changed the name of our monthly webinar from "IBF Live" to "Digital Workplace Live."
Although we've relabelled things, we're proud of our decade+ history and have left this page intact. Enjoy your time on our site and please contact us with any questions or comments.
IBF Live – intranet and digital workplace insights in a monthly online broadcast
Digital Workplace Live is the unique online show from IBF. Going out live on the first Tuesday of every month it offers live tours and expert insights on intranets, social and collaborative software, mobile apps and the broader digital workplace.
October 1st episode: Two social intranets and Mark Morrell
On Tuesday, October 1st join an exciting episode of IBF Live, with a special guest host and two live intranet tours highlighting social intranet innovations and successes.
Regular host and IBF CEO Paul Miller will be taking a break from the show and handing the microphone to special co-host Mark Morrell. Mark and Ephraim Freed, IBF Live’s other regular co-host, will guide the audience through two social intranet tours and a discussion about how intranet managers can leverage intranet benchmarking.
(James Robertson was originally scheduled to co-host, but late changes to his hectic international travel plans have left him unavailable.)
Highlights of the coming show:
- Intranet expert Mark Morrell (@MarkMorrell), former Intranet Manager at BT and author of the popular Intranet Pioneer blog, will co-host and discuss his deep experience with intranet benchmarking.
- Heather Claridge of Omicron, an integrated design and construction firm, will give a live tour of the company’s intranet which is based on the innovative young Jostle social intranet platform.
- Brad Palmer, CEO of Jostle.me (@JostleMe), will share the latest insights on how social intranets can cultivate company culture and be highly useful.
- Mirjam Riedel of Wolters Kluwer, a legal and finance services and software firm, will give a live tour of the company’s Yammer-based social intranet (read the intranet case study).
