At Anaplan, we believe that a connected workforce is an empowered workforce. But how do you ensure thousands of team members across the globe have a central place to collaborate, find information, and feel connected? You build them a new digital home.
This monumental task was led by our Q2 Disciplined in Execution Award winners, Trish Drennan, VP, Corporate Communications, and Mike Flanagan, Director, IT Infrastructure. Their leadership on the Hub, our new internal platform, didn't just deliver a new technology — it transformed how our entire company operates and collaborates.
The project was a masterclass in our core operating principle of disciplined execution. Trish and Mike's team began with a clear framework for success:
- Defining the outcome: The goal wasn't just to launch a platform, but to create a single source of truth that was intuitive, reliable, and a hub for our culture and operations.
- Aligning the right talent: A cross-functional team of experts from across the company was assembled to ensure every voice was heard and every need was met.
- Building a process for success: The project was mapped across five distinct phases with clear metrics, ensuring accountability and progress at every stage.
Trish and Mike’s rigorous planning and proactive leadership ensured the project was not only a cultural success but also a model of operational excellence. In just a few months, the Hub has become a vibrant center for connection and collaboration and has established a new standard for transparent communication.
The Hub project is a powerful example of what it means to work at Anaplan. It’s a place where you can be part of transformative projects that have a real, daily impact on your colleagues. It’s a culture where disciplined, collaborative work is recognized and celebrated.
