Research

As a member of IBF you will have access to research on intranet and digital workplace good practice. Our extensive research library includes reports on key topics such as collaboration, strategy, governance, future trends and many more.

Our members regularly use our research as a basis for decision-making, a source of ideas, as well as the basis for rich interactions and knowledge sharing.

We publish at least six research papers a year, most available exclusively to members. Recently published research include our hugely popular reports on SharePoint 2010 and One Company intranet journeys, which members tell us they reference extensively in developing their intranets.

To take advantage of this rich knowledge all you have to do is join IBF today.

During 2012, IBF will produce three full-length research reports and three briefing papers examining some of the hottest topics on the agenda of intranet managers today.

Report examples

Full reports:

  • Best practice in intranet strategy and governance
  • Metrics and measurement for intranets
  • Managing content

Briefing papers:

  • Next-generation intranets
  • Search – the real story
  • Video on the intranet

We will also be undertaking research on mobile intranets and social intranets.

IBF’s approach is to bring the research into the room at IBF member meetings with opportunities to explore and discuss findings with other members and research authors.

If you know of any organisation that would make a good case study for any of the research topics we’re covering or new areas please contact IBF.

The Intranet Benchmarking Forum is a confidential, members-only intranet benchmarking group.

We are the leading authority on intranet and digital workplace performance and best practice.
