Background

Meeting
NEW
Workgrid
Starting in late 2013, Liberty Mutual began work on
what would become a digital assistant for the
enterprise.
In 2014 we iterated through prototypes of the tool and
evolved the digital assistant based on employee
feedback.
In early 2015 we did our official launch of the digital
assistant with Liberty Mutual managers first, followed
by the remaining 50,000 employees.

the 3rd-biggest airlines group in the World.

The ONE enterprise intranet is namely accessed
by employees via the mobile phone (90%).
The red flags
BA’s digital workplace had been left unsupported for over five years
• No one ‘owned’ it
• No one cared about it
• The technology was out of date – in some cases by 15 years
90% of colleagues’ main device is a smartphone or tablet – not a computer
• But none of the digital workplace was mobile optimised
BA’s IT, finance and security governance is a challenging minefield
• With a decade of under-investment in employee experience
37
In summary – it was time for new everything
The vision
• A single point of entry for EVERYTHING – powered by a network of chatbots and virtual assistants.
• A five-year transformation and culture programme, and mobile channels.
