There are three IBF regional groups:
-
IBF Europe is for Dow Jones Stoxx 600 companies with a significant presence in mainland Europe, and public sector equivalents.
-
IBF North America is for Fortune 500 companies and public sector equivalents.
-
IBF Asia Pacific is for Asia Pacific Top 1,000 companies and public sector equivalents.
What you get
As a member of one of the IBF regional groups, your organisation will get:
-
an extensive annual evaluation of your intranet in one of the five areas of our
benchmarking model (with the opportunity to be evaluated in other areas of the model for an additional charge)
-
benchmarking of your intranet performance against other IBF regional members (see
member list)
-
a detailed written report of our findings and recommendations for improvement (
contact us to request a sample report)
-
a report-back meeting to discuss the key issues uncovered in our evaluation
-
-
two places at each of the eight all-day member meetings held around the world every year
-
two places at each visit to a fellow member to see its intranet in action
-
two places at any of our special interest groups – face-to-face and online meetings in which members debate particular aspects of intranet management
-
25 annual subscriptions to
Intranets Live, the monthly online ‘intranet media programme’ run by IBF
-
access for 25 users to our secure, members-only extranet, with the facility to network with peers, ask questions, and get breaking news and a wealth of articles, papers and reports
-
an invitation to
IBF Elite if you have a high-performing intranet.
All for a single annual membership fee. You simply can’t get this package of benefits – or anything remotely like it – anywhere else. That’s why so many of our 70-plus members renew year after year.
