Success Accelerators, the conference division of C5 Insight, Inc., will be conducting Building a Better Intranet May 17-18, 2017 on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The 2-day workshop is designed to learn how to take an intranet project from an initial idea or a desire to upgrade and then achieve sustainable success.

Participants in this interactive workshop will gain the tools and knowledge to:

• Avoid the most common mistakes being made by other organizations
• Design a winning intranet roadmap
• Balance scalability, flexibility, and usability as a user-centered design is implemented
• Go beyond user adoption and build a solid plan for sustained team engagement
• Create a digital workplace that encourages better lateral and vertical collaboration

Finding documents in archaic paper-based systems could be time consuming and frustrating – in today’s digital workplace it is even worse, with employees reporting that they spend an average of 20% of their time looking for information. Intranets can turn these trends around – but success requires people-centric planning and processes. Participants will hear from peers and expert speakers, participate in workshops, and leave with workbooks, tools, ideas, and new connections.

Geoff Ables, bestselling author and managing partner of C5 Insight, will deliver the keynote discussing how digital transformation is happening in every organization, but the results are often more negative than positive. He will elaborate on the situation in many organizations where in the past employees struggled to find ways to connect with each other, but today they are more likely struggling to find time when they can disconnect and get work done. Ables will describe the 5 megatrends that shape intranet success – or failure – and how to apply them.

Case studies will be presented by Cree and Horry Telephone Cooperative so attendees can learn first hand what it takes to work through planning a successful intranet project, cleansing outdated content, using an intranet to make a positive impact on corporate culture, migrate and organize the content in a new environment, and the governance strategy to keep the content clean moving forward.
