Social Intranets:
Hype or Change Agent?

Free Webinar: Wednesday, January 26, 2pm EST / 11am PST

Many companies believe the next generation intranet is social. Embracing a robust set of social media tools, the social intranet enables a more informed, engaged and productive workforce. Employees can access information and expertise from a real-time knowledge source constantly updated by their colleagues.

But is a social intranet the place where real work gets done, or is it simply an outlet for employees to arrange lunch dates? Do the issues of a traditional corporate intranet – namely, outdated information, slow adoption and significant IT resources – plague a social intranet as well? Is a social intranet really a competitive advantage?

The webinar will feature Tim Walters, Ph.D., Senior Analyst at independent research firm Forrester Research, Inc., Jack MacKay, Vice President and CIO at American Hospital Association (AHA), and Karthik Chakkarapani, the AHA's IT Director of Technology Solutions & Operations. They will:

  • Discuss how a social intranet differs from a first-generation intranet
  • Provide examples of usage and benefits within organizations today
  • Give pointers for improving adoption and productivity
  • Discuss the pros and pitfalls of integrating enterprise application data

The webinar will include a live demonstration of AHA’s social intranet. Don’t miss your chance to learn how “social” is changing today’s corporate intranet!
