Frank will share insights on the recently rolled-out global digital workplace from the perspective of a business project leader and communications manager. Merck is a global organisation that has been in operation for almost 350 years. It supports 50,000 staff in various roles, including cancer drug research, scientific development, liquid crystals and biotech lab equipment design. The success of the new digital workplace hinged on developing and creating leadership support before the rollout phase, identifying change agents, training and communication.
