About my talk

Introducing an enterprise social network (ESN) in an organisation that’s never had one is like taming a lion: you need to approach carefully and be strategic to calm the all-powerful king of the jungle. In this session, Rita will demonstrate how ANZ introduced its ESN, MaxConnect, to more than 50,000 staff last year, managing the rollout as a significant cultural change to encourage people to adopt a new way of working. The session will cover:

• how to start the conversation about the business benefits of ESNs
• how to rally supporters to help lead the charge on ESN engagement and adoption
• stories and use cases demonstrating how ANZ is benefiting from embracing its ESN.
