Bit of a change to the ‘Spindoctor – Media Management’ session that was planned for February. The presenter isn’t comfortable giving any talks until the
general election is over. That said, assurances have been made he’ll do something for us this year.
March is looking like a fun one. We’ve got a couple of award-winning consultants from Square Peg who’ll be running a session about being prepared for M & A activity. 80% fail. You won’t!
On to February’s meetup. This one is about the practicalities of choosing tools and techniques as relating to running large-scale inter/intranet sites. Special thanks to Deenita Pattni at Xchangeteam for use of their venue.
Location: Xchangeteam, 20/22 Stukeley Street, London WC2B 5LR

Event synopsis:
If the axe ain’t sharp, it doesn’t matter how hard the wood is’.
Do you have all or some responsibility for growing and maintaining your organisation’s intra/internet site? Ever feel frustrated by legacy tools that just don’t do the job you need them to? You are not alone.
This month, we’re joined by James Hoskins. He’s a Marcoms industry veteran who in more recent times has acted as both buyer and supplier of mid-large scale CMS (Content Management System) solutions.
James will be running a concise session about evaluating and selecting the best solution for your organisation’s needs. He’ll help you understand how to navigate the sheer number of options available and give you a few hard won hints’n'tips about managing online content.
Core topics will include:
- Creating content strategies
- Evaluating technologies (including Open Source vs Proprietary systems)
- Implementation pitfalls
- Measuring and reporting on success
As usual, 2/3 of the session will be allocated to answering your questions. Feel free to bring your challenges to find answers!
