Intranet Now Diamond Award 2016 – the short list

Diamond Award

Intranet Now Diamond Award 2016 – the short list

When Wedge Black and Brian Lamb took the initiative to start Intranet Now in 2014, they also did a very generous thing in giving out a Diamond Award – as if the demands of conference organising weren’t enough on their own.  The first, very worthy winner was Martin White. Last year, having looked at all the deserving names on the nomination list, I was convinced it wouldn’t be me so was dumbstruck when Martin handed me the fine glass ornament (this is why I never do ‘predictions’ blog posts). I remember clutching the box that weighs about as much as a small terrier whilst having a beer at the bar afterwards but the rest of it becomes rather fuzzy.

I’m excited to see the nomination list for 2016, and some very deserving names were suggested by the community. It makes me appreciate that we are in an industry where people put an awful lot of thought into what they are doing and care enough to talk, blog, tweet about it, as well as setting up some inspiring initiatives too.  Wedge and Brian have the former winners to share the burden of deciding who it will go to, but it is a very tough call and I’m glad they get to take the final decision!

James Robertson, of Step Two, nominated by Toyah Coolican of North Wales Police, and Andrew Wright of Panviva and the Worldwide Intranet Challenge.
