Hi all,

We're back for 2008, and publishing articles as usual. This month we
introduce a whole new methodology for managing intranets (the
"Intranet Hive"), as well as covering other intranet and content
management topics.

There is also a huge amount happening for us at present, and the
pace seems to be getting ever faster...

If you are in Australia or New Zealand, we've introduced "corporate"
membership to the Intranet Leadership Forum. For more on this,
browse through the details we've uploaded to SlideShare:

http://www.slideshare.net/jamesr/delivering-better-intranets-in-2008/

We've also finalised our workshop schedule in Australia, including
a brand-new workshop giving detailed insight into the Intranet Hive.
