Workshop A: Utilizing Your Intranet To Communicate And Manage Organizational Change Successfully
Brian Justice Strategic Communications
As organizations evolve to compete and stay relevant, so must their intranet sites. These employee communication channels continue to be critical to managing constant change, dealing with uncertainty, re-engaging employees, and improving culture.

Learn how intranets and internal social enterprise communities can foster higher employee engagement and productivity to meet business goals. You’ll also gain insight into ways to handle the change and uncertainty of mergers, acquisitions, integrations, restructuring, cost-reduction initiatives and other business transformations.

You will leave this workshop with a deeper understanding of tools, tips and techniques to manage organizational change successfully, including how to:

  • Tailor a communication plan to the uniqueness of the situation 
  • Turn leaders into both communicators and change agents 
  • Keep employees focused on business-as-usual AND up-to-date on possible change via intranets
  • Replicate an employee ambassador model as an extension of your team and technology
  • Implement low cost, high impact, online change communications

Workshop C: Implementing Innovative Design Approaches For Employee Communications, Intranets & Digital Workplaces To Improve Productivity & Achieve Results
Nonlinear Creations

One of the most frequent questions asked by employee communications teams is how to best get communications out to an audience that is already struggling with information overload?  The answer lies in user-centered design that is supported by an understanding of how people work, build relationships and behave within your workplace.  

Effective, powerful and engaging communications is more than ever about embracing approaches that recognize your employees’ ability, desire and motivation to absorb communications based on their context.  One example is that of designing for the need of an employee who spends most of their time on a mobile device – what formats are they more open to, and what might they need to know? 

This workshop is extremely valuable for anyone who is interested in innovative design approaches for employee communications, intranets and digital workplaces that allow the organization to stay aligned, make better decisions and pivot in today’s rapidly changing landscape.

Dive into topics such as:  

  • Trends in user experience design for the digital workplace
  • A persona spectrum for communications and other useful tools
  • Case studies: UX Wins for Employee Communications
  • Learn how to apply and practice different concepts

During this workshop you will be tasked with both individual and group exercises to bring techniques to life. Yo will also have a chance to ask questions and share insights for the benefit of the group based on participant mix.

Workshop D: How To Develop A User-Centric Intranet That Will Improve Engagement, Collaboration, Information Sharing, And Achieve Results
Digital Clarity Group

Many failed intranets suffer from a similar problem — they reflect organizational structures and desires rather than the needs, goals, and contexts of their users. The design of most intranets are still from an “inside out” rather than “outside in” perspective. As a result, even newer “social intranets”, often don’t pull together the tools and content employees need to complete work processes. 

Take part in this interactive workshop and discover best practices and tactics needed to ensure a successful intranet that helps your employees – and your organization – achieve results, including:

  • Gathering input from across a decentralized organization
  • Centralizing a technology strategy in the face of a diversely owned and managed IT landscape
  • Establishing a governance model that enables the businesses while empowering the brand
  • Encouraging adoption through delivery excellence
  • Perfecting the balance between collaboration, information sharing, knowledge management, and employee engagement 
  • Planning for a phased adoption/roll-out
