The Evolution of the Intranet: Why Collaborative Intranets are More Critical ...C5 Insight
Collaboration as we know it has changed dramatically over the years. It wasn't that long ago that we had to make a concerted effort to connect with one another; now that same effort is required to disconnect. So why do organizations continue to struggle to connect with employees, customers and partners?
Collaboration tools are both numerous and sophisticated, but are we really better off? If we have the tools, the technology and the will, then why aren't we doing a better job with collaboration in our organizations? In short: Is a company that has a robust Intranet and can truly work together better nothing more than a myth - a lofty goal to which we aspire but will never attain?
In this session, the speaker will tackle these questions and more, taking an in-depth look into why collaboration projects fails to meet our expectations and what organizations can do today to forge new connections, become more productive, increase employee engagement, and build an Intranet that fosters a culture of collaboration.
Why today’s businesses need enterprise socialMicrosoft
People today are more connected than ever before. The growth
of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, combined
with the rise of social technologies such as Facebook, Twitter,
and LinkedIn, has turned the world into a global community
that gives users instant access to information, makes it easy
for them to communicate about everything from products to
politics, and facilitates collective action. Technology makes it
easier than ever to tap into the human network.

Collab365 2015 - The 7 Deadly Sins of SharePointC5 Insight
60% of SharePoint projects are stalled, struggling, or failing, according to research conducted by the Association for Information and Image Management. If the goal is enterprise collaboration, it matters most how people connect and remain engaged, not simply how products and platforms function.
This session takes off the gloves and delivers an open discussion of why SharePoint and collaboration projects fail – and how to successfully recover. Better yet, you will learn how to set yourself up for success from the start!
Watch this session if your organization is contemplating a new project leveraging SharePoint, migrating to a new version of SharePoint, or needs to recover from a problematic implementation.
In addition, the presenter will share 3 specific, real-world cases of failed projects – and how those projects were successfully turned around to deliver a successful project with broad user adoption.
You will learn :
1. The latest stats on SharePoint and collaboration failures
2. Deadly sins to avoid on every project
3. What other organizations are doing wrong that is leading to failed projects
4. Practical habits to prevent project failures
5. 3 real-world case studies on customers who recovered from failed projects
If you build it, they still may not come. How can organizations not only plan for great functionality with increased productivity, but also drive truly successful adoption?

Building a Better Intranet: Moving From Frustration to Effective CollaborationC5 Insight
It's a fact: the way we work is changing. As our digital tools grow rapidly and become more sophisticated, are we really better off? Is an Intranet still relevant in today’s digital world?

Internal social networks are replacing email and intranets in more and more organisations. But let’s face it, rolling out an enterprise social network within your organisation can be an uphill struggle. In this info-graphic series Business Goes Social looks at key reasons why ESN's fail, and offers some helpful tips on how to develop them.
So You Have an Enterprise Social Network Now What?Joel Oleson
At first it's daunting... An Enterprise Social Network ESN is mostly about culture and very little about technology. With so many deployment failures, it's there are areas to focus that will make a big difference in the success of your deployment. Roles such as network administrators and verified admins are focused more on the technical side. Community managers and business social ambassadors really make a difference in managing the network. In this webinar we discussed many of the roadblocks to success including ways to remove road blocks.

The world has become a giant network, transformed by the

use Twitter to get the latest news from people around the

other easily, information and knowledge move faster, and we
are able to accomplish more by working together.

Leveraging principles and best practices from social media – sharing, prioritizing, discussing – enterprises can make knowledge sharing more efficient and effective.
by John Bell, Global Managing Director, Social@Ogilvy.
The following is a plan describing a simple and practical way for business leaders to think about gaining the benefits of social behaviors (and the technologies supporting those behaviors).
In many ways the promise of a ‘social business’ is to get us back to what we care about — people working together to create something of greater value than they could have if they had remained unconnected and apart.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
