Greenhouse is MB's new global social intranet launched in February 2012 to improve employee collaboration and knowledge sharing. It is built on the Jive platform.

A day in the life of a Greenhouse user – Monique Leech, AMAP
“You will be amazed at how Greenhouse can inspire you to fall in love with research all over again. Sometimes it is
challenging to remain excited about clients or find inspiration to write the 20 th tracking presentation for a category, but
there is a wealth of insights, new thinking and 3rd party information housed in Greenhouse that can help you build amazing
strategic presentations and really WOW clients.”

I thought in the beginning it would simply be a place to find information (a “newer” version of

much support available to everyone. Indonesia

Part of my role is helping CS teams incorporate the latest thinking/strategy into
new business proposals and presentations. Greenhouse makes it easy to find Philippines
