3. Taking a Fresh Look
One intranet. Thousands of employees. And they’re busy.
How do you transform your intranet from
a one-way platform
that pushes out information into
an interactive, integrated digital platform
that combines breaking news, visual content,
customized resources, and social networking?

About Pfizer

6. Internal Digital Communications – Goals
• To drive colleague engagement and an ownership culture
• To provide strategic information creatively and dynamically
In 2014, we created an integrated internal digital platform
with robust social networking capabilities to help colleagues:
• discuss content
• share knowledge
• increase collaboration
…via familiar channels they use in their personal lives

THE BEST AMBASSADORS FOR
OUR COMPANY

8. The Journey Began in 2008…
• 2008: 410 sites…one site for every 200 colleagues
…over 10,000 team sites
• 2009: The PfizerWorld “super site” was born
– Platforms were splintered: social, mobile, and video

9. …And Continued to Expand
PfizerWorld 2011 PfizerWorld 2014
• Simplified layout
• Improved search
• Prominent “program” banners

10. 2014: Challenges Identified
• Lack of awareness of company platforms
• Unfamiliarity with social networks
• Discomfort using social tools at work
• Limitations of the platforms

11. Colleagues Appreciated the Tools…
I like being able to
create public or
private groups for
sharing content.
It’s easy to share links with
my network without
inundating them with email.
I subscribe to be
notified when a
colleague posts to
my group.
Viewing videos from
my iPad is simple.
It’s very easy to use –
you just have to use it.

12. …And Wanted More
I want to upload
photos in real time.
We want colleagues to shape
our culture through interactive
discussion threads.
We want a photo collage board
that showcases colleagues.
I want to share with the
sales force – so it has to
be mobile-friendly.
We need a private
channel to share videos
with a targeted audience.
I want to write a blog so
my team can follow me.
