I will be at the IntraTeam 2012 conference in Copenhagen this week presenting on 5 ‘Must Have’ Principles for a Great Digital Workplace and running a workshop on How to Build the Right Governance Model for the Digital Workplace. For Twitter users follow #IEC12.

The digital workplace is a phrase that I have written about before and is becoming more frequently used for intranets that are developing beyond being a traditional communications tool. For me a digital workplace can include:

  • employees working from any location (or mobile) as their place of work
  • IT infrastructure providing the same or similar experience wherever someone uses the digital workplace
  • employees collaborating, searching, and completing tasks as well as reading the latest news
  • employees choosing how to do ‘things’ – RSS, mobile, etc. – that help them
  • organisations measuring the benefits and encouraging employees to use the digital workplace

I define a digital workplace as ‘work is what you do, not where you go to’. To have a successful digital workplace it is vital organisations have the right strategy, culture, environment and infrastructure to exploit the benefits fully. It needs to become the natural way of working so employees are more effective and productive and your organisation is more efficient and successful.

Find out how five principles can help you to work in a digital workplace, how to use my experience to help you and how to contact me for further help.
