“Great intranets are created by passionate, energetic and determined people. Behind every great intranet you will often find one person whose courage, power and in the end love for their work, has produced stunning results.” – Paul Miller, IBF Founder & CEO.

At IBF we’re celebrating the passion of intranet managers over the next couple of months. It’s all about the “love affairs” behind great intranets and we have a fabulous advocate for intranets, Mark Morrell, leading research into the very real impact of passion on selling and promoting the intranet in organisations. The full paper will be published to members in January 2012 – with some great stories and advice on selling the intranet effectively. We’ll be sharing highlights on our blog and also featuring some of the most passionate intranet managers on IBF Live, including William Amurgis, Christy Season, Martin Risgaard, and Mark Morrell. You can find out more on our blog.

When asked about the inspiration for ‘Intranet Love Affairs’, Paul continues, “Listen to them talk and you can hear in their voices what makes that intranet thrive. Intranets are vital to organizational life and will be for many years, perhaps decades, to come and each intranet we admire is part of a love affair. Let’s collect come of those stories!”

We want to hear about your intranet love affairs – from the quirky to the downright steamy! Tell us about your intranet love affair and we’ll be celebrating your intranet passion on our blog and on IBF Live over the next couple of months.
