Power up the Grid
Week 1: Share your skills
If you want to be active on The Grid, you have to
let others know who you are, your skills, and your
interests. An accurate and current people page
makes you ‘findable’ to others looking for
innovation help.
In the future, People Search will be one way we’ll
identify candidates to help with Technology
Innovation Projects. Take some time this week to
make your profile shine!

Week 3: Use the network to spread ideas
How do great ideas flow through an organization?
Through our networks.
Changing an organization and building a culture of
innovation requires a “work out loud” mindset. If
you aren’t sharing your experiences, thoughts,
discoveries, and ideas with others, you are
limiting the power of The Grid.

Week 7: Going above and beyond
Now that
up.
you have connected and shared, amp it
Micro-blogs on the Stream, likes and targets are
great, but to really power up The Grid, we need
more! When you take just a little more time to
expand on ideas and comments, you build your own
personal brand, encourage deeper learning in the
organization, and raise the quality of innovation
for BPO.
