A LETTER FROM ThE CONFERENCE ChAIRPERSON

Dear Internal Communication Colleagues,

What is an intranet? What is a portal? How should our portal/intranet serve the company?How do social tools fit in? What about mobile?

These are questions that are frequently asked. Organizations increasingly discover that today, intranets and portals are just parts of a larger digital workplace – it’s where our employees do their work. It is the virtual employee experience.

This doesn’t discount the focused work many organizations are doing to improve their intranets and portals. Many of them are making those improvements by moving to or upgrading Microsoft®

SharePoint®. As most organizations find, SharePoint performs best with some tender loving care and customization. Moreover, it will play an important role in the move to a digital workplace.

I am very pleased to chair this important event that gives communicators and their IT counterpartsan opportunity to hear how others are moving their SharePoint digital workplaces to the next level. It is a great opportunity to share and learn from those who’ve already paved some of the path for us.

You will hear how:• L’ORÉAL leveraged their content strategy and employee engagement to create an intranet that looks and feels editorial, exciting and modern

• GENERAL MILLS leveraged social media internally to drive user adoption• PITNEY BOWES created an enterprise social network to drive employee engagement• INGRAM MICRO created a roadmap that drove momentum and ROI around its digital workplace

Join us for the Advanced Learning Institute’s 2nd SharePoint For Internal Communications conference in New York City this May 13-15, 2014 to learn priceless insights from your peersthat will energize you to go back and make a difference everyday in your digital workplace!

Register today by calling the conference hotline at 888-362-7400.

11:20am Informed, Engaged & Productive: How To Deliver a User-Centered Intranet Experience on SharePoint 2013 with the Integration of Multiple Business Systems, NewsGator (Sitrion) Social Tools and Digital Innovation

Among the largest philanthropic foundations in the United States, the

W.K. Kellogg Foundation (WKKF) is a growing organization and workforce with

three separate intranet platforms, a handful of business systems, minimal use of

Yammer and staff desire for a more productive tool. The Communications and

Technology teams set out on a two-plus year journey to create ONE intranet

experience that would keep staff informed, engaged and productive. The re-design

and launch of their new intranet, the Vine on Nov. 5, 2013 has generated

org-wide excitement, buy-in and boosted internal communications efforts within

ONE platform accomplishing our goal of ONE foundation, ONE voice.

In this session, you will learn how…

• Employee engagement increased with the implementation of the

new intranet

• Executive support will allow for you to get creative and step outside of

the box with a more user-centered and modern homepage design.

• Using the native, out of the box SharePoint 2013 functionality to create a

dynamic organizational handbook makes information easy to find on the

frontend and easy to manage on the backend.

• Leveraging NewsGator (Sitrion) to integrate social networking capabilities

“into” your intranet experience is extremely different compared to a

“separate” experience on Yammer.

• Hosting a full day of training and immersion to celebrate increased

buy-in for the new intranet

2:50pm Understanding The New Role of SharePoint and Office 365 In Your Digital Workplace

Intranets have been around for a long time. Many organizations are looking at Mobile, Social, Employee Cloud Storage and other aspects of the digital work-place that go beyond traditional SharePoint intranets. As SharePoint evolves and other services like SkyDrive, Yammer, and Lync become more integrated, a more inclusive assessment is needed to plan your Digital Workplace. Ingram Micro started with an intranet assessment project and as feedback from executives and different parts of the business came in, the project evolved into a digital workplace assessment. It is believed that this type of assessment better reflects the future of SharePoint intranets. This session will cover the assessment process used to create a digital workplace roadmap along with a discussion about the related challenges.

In this session you will learn how to:• Discuss the digital workplace with key stakeholders in your business• Determine which assessments make sense for your company• Understand how Microsoft is evolving SharePoint and Office 365• See how a roadmap can drive momentum and ROI around your digital workplace

• Determine the critical factors to success on a tight budget• Create a global governance structure

4:00pm From Stale To Exciting: How to Bring a User-Centered Design Approach to Your Global Intranet

Over the years, our global intranet, teamWORKS, had become stale and pedestrian. To help understand why, we went straight to the source – our team members. Through a series of user interviews, forums, and surveys, we began to understand what team members wanted from teamWORKS and undertook a complete overhaul of the site to meet and exceed these expectations.

In this session, participants will learn practical ways to:• Develop a user-centered methodology to help guide intranet strategy and content decisions

• Solicit feedback, ideas, and preferences from team members at different stages in the design and development process

• Identify intranet champions and harness their enthusiasm • Generate excitement and buzz around your new intranet (and keep that excitement going)
