The final Intranetters of 2011 is full to bursting, with plenty of new faces. Our last visit to The Crown Estate was excellent though we’re not here to see their intranet today. Instead Romec and Field Fisher Waterhouse are taking to the stage and James Robertson has dropped in to talk about the 2011 Intranet Innovation Awards. Romec Nigel [...]
Imagine: you’ve been waiting for months to pitch a new, streamlined intranet design to a business leader.

Having confused destination and starting point, I have just been driven at high speed to Billund airport to catch my flight home. Hearing the above words spoken by a taxi [...]
Two excellent presentations at yesterday’s Intranetters event: Rod McLean of London Underground spoke about the challenges he’s faced and what he’s achieved with LU’s intranet since joining in January, while Brian Dobson of Transport For London showed a slightly more mature product in TFL’s “Source”. Arriving five minutes into Rod’s introduction I noticed a lot [...]
