Alison Warhurst Applications Officer Human Services Network Human Services Network (NSW Gov) The ILF has given me access to a wealth of ideas and experience that I could not have found elsewhere. Group discussions are lively and honest and it is great to hear from people from different types of organisations and professional backgrounds. I have picked up valuable tips for our own redevelopment project in the areas of IA design, usability and technology selection that I hope will contribute to the overall success of the project.

Tabcorp Since becoming a member of the ILF, I have had the opportunity to interact with others in the Intranet field across a diverse range of organisations in both the private and public sectors. The value of being able to discuss ideas, strategies and development with others facing similar issues has proven to be invaluable. The Intranet Leadership Forum has helped me manage and develop my intranet better and smarter. Peter Richards Group Intranet Producer Tabcorp

Jill Stephens Library and Intranet Manager Urbis Urbis Joining the Intranet Leadership Forum has allowed my intranet learning to be exposed to a whole new range of opportunities. By having tailored subjects, it meant that the group would get the most out of our learning, we could brainstorm, come up with ideas, see each others intranets. I cannot recommend the ILF highly enough if you are seeking to remove yourself from isolation and to move your intranet learning onto the next level.

The Forum provides one-on-one opportunities to meet and discuss your issues with international intranet experts. (Get the best of what the world has to offer without the airfares)

All too often, conferences just don’t hit the mark, and only a few of the topics are of direct relevance to current tasks. (The Intranet Leadership Forum provides a better alternative)
