A little strategy with your social? Yes, please!
On the next IBF Live, we invite Accenture and Covidien (formerly Tyco Healthcare) to compare notes on their enterprise social strategies. And Modus Associates also pays us a visit to share the highlights of their award-winning strategy project for the Cleveland Clinic intranet.
Join us Tuesday, August 2nd on IBF Live for another month of intelligent, fun discussion about intranets and the digital workplace. Paul Miller, CEO of IBF, will host the show, along with guest hosts, Gia Lyons, Strategic Advisor and Jive Business Community Manager at Jive Software and Robert Rose, Chief Troublemaker at Big Blue Moose.
First on deck, Steve Kaukonen and Steve Berzins from the Accenture Social Learning team will show us how the Knowledge Exchange sub-portal encourages a culture of knowledge sharing by rigorous analysis and measurement of collaborative behaviors in the company. We’ll also take a look at the various tools they’ve developed to deliver highly personalized content and recommendations; and finally we’ll discuss their adoption strategy and see some of their marketing and communications content.
Up next, Roy Wilsker from Covidien will give a tour of Pulse Connect, Covidien’s Jive-based collaboration platform. He’ll sketch out the intranet history at Covidien, and describe events that drove the decision to go with the Jive platform for collaboration (spoiler alert: mergers, acquisitions and a fragmented intranet landscape). Roy is an IT guy who understands that it’s not about the technology… it’s about the people. In fact, one of Roy’s mantras is: “It’s not a tool; it’s a community.”
Rounding out the discussion, we have Scott McDonald from Modus Associates to tell us about his intranet strategy project with the Cleveland Clinic, which went on to win an honorable mention at the first User Experience Awards. Scott will join us with Leslie Chom from the Cleveland Clinic to discuss the decision to start with a strategy project; then move on to planning; and finally, execution. Scott and Leslie will also share the solution highlights, including mobile and social strategies, as well as their phased implementation roadmap.
