Rather than hear more from the IBF team about the benefits of membership, read below what our members say about their experiences of the services we provide:
“Seeing objective statements on how we compare to others presents a compelling story that resources are needed . . . IBF’s approach to continuous improvement and the evolution of the service is a testament to the quality of IBF.”
Jay Balchan, ExxonMobil
“We needed a resource, we felt lost. IBF provides resources in one place, it became clear to us that IBF is the one stop shop for everything we need. It was simple business to put the business case for membership.”
Laura Esmet, ADP
“Membership of IBF has helped us tremendously with the evaluation and planning of intranet projects.”
Paula Collins, Ministry of Defence
“The IBF benchmarking was spot on for our needs. It exceeded our expectations and has been used inside BP to drive forward our major intranet development programme.”
Kirsty Chisholm, BP
“The most valuable thing about IBF is being able to meet your peers. If you work in intranets, it’s normally a closed community – people don’t like to share their ideas, and the tricks of the trade. But in this forum, you know you’re going to get honest answers and honest opinions. That’s something you really can’t get anywhere else.”
Mark Mazza, Lloyds Banking Group
“Intranets Live was very enjoyable and very useful. I particularly liked the Kellogg’s live tour and the Intranet Doctor and technology features. Joining was easy, and we booked a meeting room so I and colleagues could watch and listen together.”
Reg Lewin, Which?
“IBF’s Yammer community, Intranets Live (now IBF Live) and IBF 24 are worth the membership fee alone. Google and IBF are my first points of call and the IBF 24 archive is a great strength and concept”
Paul Brereton, Vodafone Group
“It was an amazing experience to bring our intranet wireframes to the NY meeting, we really relished the opportunity to share this with a group of intranet people. We got a lot of really great feedback. It helped us see we were on the right track. We wouldn’t have had the opportunity to do this otherwise.’
Laura Esmet, ADP
“This (IBF Special Interest Group) has been a great hour out of my day – giving me something new to think about.”
Rebecca Shipp, The Royal Bank of Scotland
“I wanted to send you a quick note to thank you and your team for producing our benchmarking report. I’ve only had a brief read but I’m already very pleased with the report. It might sound strange to be so grateful when the score can only be described as terrible, but we are at the beginning of a long process and this is a great “zero measurement” and gives us a lot of ammunition to drive change – at the perfect time.”
Louise McGregor, ING Group
“The biggest benefit to BT has been the benchmarking. The report exceeded our expectations in usefulness, data and its impact on our intranet. It has formed the basis of our strategy for the next 12 months.”
Mark Morrell, BT
