6 years ago Evonik started their Digital Transformation and Social Business journey with IBM Connections. It’s been quite an exciting journey so far, but it is not over yet. The quest to not only address and fix business problems, but to also transform how employees work continues to this date. The emphasis on innovation through hosting and organising innovation jams, on influencing use behaviours through an open knowledge sharing culture across different teams, divisions and geographical regions has turned Evonik into a people centric organisation where knowledge shared is power. Join us in this Social Business Fireside Chat where Luis Suarez (panagenda) will be interviewing Frank Nestler (Evonik) about their Digital Transformation journey so far; what worked, what didn’t (potential obstacles), lessons learned, most inspiring use cases, overall business value in the transformation process and so forth. Get your questions ready!

• Evonik has been using IBM Connections
for about 6 years now, where do you feel
you are nowadays in the so-called Digital
Transformation and Social Business
journey?

7. Social Connections 14 Berlin, October 16-17 2018
• You’re using effectively multiple Collaboration
suites, such as Office365 and IBM Connections.
What have you done so far to help employees
understand how they can get the most out of both
platforms? Can you share some of the guiding
principles you’ve used to help them understand
which is which and for what purpose each of them
should be used while getting work done?

8. Social Connections 14 Berlin, October 16-17 2018
• Back in June, I had the unique opportunity to
spend the afternoon at your Global Ideation Jam
event. The face to face event is a celebration of
a process that takes much longer and that
combines both on-site events and online
interactions. Can you tell us a little bit about the
role IBM Connections plays in helping prepare
for such an amazing event throughout the year?

9. Social Connections 14 Berlin, October 16-17 2018
• You folks have inspired a number of Evonik
employees to become ambassadors of the
culture change and digital transformation
journey through IBM Connections. Could you
describe for the audience how you got started
‘recruiting’ them, give them a sense of purpose
and also relate to some of the day to day work
activities they do?

10. Social Connections 14 Berlin, October 16-17 2018
• Could you perhaps describe three
emergent practices that have become
rather successful in day to day work
related activities for which employees
make good use of IBM Connections at
Evonik?

11. Social Connections 14 Berlin, October 16-17 2018
• And, finally, one last question, what is it
like a work day in the life of a ‘Friend &
Follower’ of #noemail?
