Can ‘Social’ transform businesses, or does it take more?

Intranets revolutionised the way that businesses handled information, at a time when information was a scarce resource. They built it, and we came. But has the intranet has been left behind now that everything is going ‘Social’. Is it really the place where information goes to die? Can making it social really bring it back to life, or just be pouring oil on to water?

A new generation of tools are making big promises by quite literally taking a page out of Facebook’s book. But are they just ‘2.0’ technology in ‘social’ clothing, over promising and under delivering, or do they hold the key to tackling the information overload that has overcome the modern workplace.

Hear from a group of leading practitioners, and perhaps a brave vendor or two, who have been on the cutting edge, and sometimes the sharp end of the pointy stick. Real stories, real discussion and real debate, getting to the heart of the impact of Social Platforms on businesses – the good, the bad and the plain ugly – and take away some knowledge.
