Host Nancy Goebel explores what inspired this series of reports, why Shimrit is releasing Nurturing digital inclusivity first, the difference between inclusivity and accessibility, and why ethics has also been investigated.

In Intranet 2.0 and enterprise social networks: How they've changed the way we work, Kevin examines how ESNs have been adopted (or not) by organizations, considers the extent to which they’ve changed how we work, and explores how they’ve evolved over the last decade and a half.
