The first scene is like what we are witnessing for the last 6 weeks.  The second scene is like tonight speech going forward.  So glad that you had a very eventful vacation. 

Hi,

I just starting working at a small therapeutics company called Intarcia.  I am the Senior manager of Training operations.  Basically I make sure we have all the tools needed for training to occur including administering our LMS.  There are many ways to get and share information which is outside the scope of training.  I am hoping to use Jive to communicate  key information, share best practices and use the group site as an informal training vehicle i.e. check out this video... 

My top question is how can I learn to build my group  (web page) so that it looks good and has the needed functionality.  I am struggling to find this basic information.

What I hope to get out of this collaborative classroom experience are tips, tricks and useful features that I can utilize that are not well publicized.

Hello Libby Taylor

Role in my Community: I'm the Internal Communications Manager at Medallia, a Silicon Valley company that creates enterprise software that improves the customer experience. On our Jive intranet, called The Loop, I manage our overall homepage editorial calendar and assist each of our space community administrators to maintain a healthy adoption and engagement for the respective spaces.  

My top challenge: While I'm not new to intranets, I am new to Jive. There is a learning curve to understand for how each feature can work best for different use cases. In addition, the company uses many tools across the organization so migration and general adoption to make Jive the optimal "one stop shop" is tricky.

What you hope to get out of this collaborative classroom experience: I'd like to ensure I'm growing my network and learning best practices from everyone participating to meet our team's overall goals and succeed in our vision for The Loop.

Helllooo Class of 2017!

I'm Heather, I'm the IT Manager at a smallish company that makes custom hair color - eSalon.  We're just starting to get into Jive and it's my first experience with this platform so I'm looking forward to absorbing as much as possible and bring it to all the folks at my company.

My biggest challenge at the moment is getting through the onslaught of onboarding materials!  Once I can cull that a bit, I hope to give recommendations to the internal team here on what they should review to make the platform a success. 

No immediate questions, but glad to be here.

Feel free to visit us if you're ever in Los Angeles!  We have a salon on site and our color experts can talk through all those different colors if you're considering. 

And yes, "fire hose of information" is on the nose.  I'll keep it in mind to ask questions as I dig deeper.  Thanks!

Greetings from Christian, based in Erding, Germany - a small town near Munich, although I was orginally born and raised in Berlin, graduating German-American-Highschool, John F. Kennedy,. Class of `83 --- YES - I am that old :-)

We are delivering digital interactive and game-based-learning to a number of larger corporate and upper mid-market customers across Europe, Middle East and also Asia for the last 9 years and are now working with a social learning partner of JIVE, Pokeshot from Berlin Germany.

I am seeing a lot of interest from my clients to get to the next stage of integrated social learning and digital knowledge management and looking forward to learn more about JIVE this year.

So thank you for having me in JIVEworks.

Welcome aboard Christian!
