It’s about time…
Double and triple-booked calendars had been welded into the company’s culture, negatively impacting productivity.
More time with customers, please.
The sales teams’ days were dominated by what they called “meeting dominos,” which were meetings held to discuss prior and future meetings. Leadership wanted a change.
Too many meetings.
Meets are an important part of any work ecosystem, but not all meetings are important to everyone at the same time. Meetings were analyzed and prioritized. New ways to meet and engage were designed by employees for employees.
Communicate a solution, not a mandate.
Better business practices empowered employees to manage their time more effectively. Communications were both push and discussion based, and proposed solutions were accompanied by identifying potential impact for both the individual, the team, and the company.
Increased social engagement between sales teams.
Nearly every member of the sales team was positively impacted by the change.
"Carpool helped us move the conversation out of IT and into the business... and managers had a lot to say. The strategic value of the conversation has allowed us to grow our impact into critical functions of the company. We have been able to showcase how the digital workspace can have immediate impact on the work our people are doing.“
The result: An estimated 6,400 collective hours per month more spent with customers.
