Seminar Description
Intranets hold the potential to deliver ongoing strategic business value, yet the majority of intranets receive only occasional nods of interest from executive management. Join Howard McQueen, an international intranet consultant since 1996, as he shares an effective methodology that can bring focus and awareness to your intranet and allow progressive and incremental business value to be demonstrated.
Howard will pull from dozens of case studies and discuss a number of organizations that have delivered value to staff and to the overall business with innovative intranets. He will highlight some of the Step Two Designs Intranet Innovation Awards winners (Howard is one of four judges who reviewed numerous intranet entries).
Who Should Attend?
Intranet/web managers and intranet teams; usability personnel; Web writers, editors and publishers; Web contributors; content managers; professional researchers; and all other positions responsible for improving the use, findability, accessibility and personalization (increased relevancy) to information and self-service applications.

In a recessionary economy, what one intranet activity should an intranet manager invest in and keep alive?
