It's nice to be back in Europe, and it's certainly a lot warmer than in March (the end of the coldest winter in a generation!). I'm coming to the end of the first week of my trip, and I've been busy: Running a one-day "Designing intranets" workshop in Stockholm for IntraTeam, ...

I'm pleased to be back in the warm Sydney weather after three weeks in Europe, in what turned out to be the coldest weather in 16 years. (-7 degrees Celcius in Stockholm, ouch!) This was an incredibly busy trip, but thankfully equally productive and interesting. A snapshot of what I managed ...

I'm going to have a busy three weeks in Europe in March, and most of the details are now finalised. I'm starting with a keynote presentation on "Intranets in 2015" at IntraTeam Event 2010 in Denmark (March 2-4), and wrapping up with a keynote on the Intranet Innovation Award winners ...

It's nice to be back home, even if the weather is cold and wet, much like my last two weeks in Europe. The last two weeks have been frantically busy, but enjoyable nonetheless. I started with two days in Switzerland, including presenting to a local group of intranet managers from organisations ...

For two years now we've been running our Intranet Leadership Forum in Australia, providing a professional community for intranet teams. This is hugely enjoyable to run, and I think there's a lot of value to be gained from these types of groups. I'm therefore very excited to hear that J. ...
