In this role, Lesley will work directly with Enterprise Strategies’s clients in the United Kingdom and Central Europe provide local support for internal digital strategy and enterprise social network adoption initiatives.<\/p>\n

Lesley brings over 15 years of internal communications and employee engagement experience to the Enterprise Strategies team. She is the founder of\u00a0Working Out Loud in a Network<\/a> “#wolan” helping organizations embrace the business value of enterprise social networks. The #wolan framework demonstrates how enterprise social networks can be aligned to strategy, share tacit knowledge, demonstrate the right cultural behaviors\/values and introduces the relevance of using “business intelligent” hashtags. The emerging #wolan framework convinced the GSK German Works Council to use Yammer. #wolan has been endorsed by the Digital Workplace Group<\/a>, Oxford University social academics and Microsoft.<\/p>\n

“I am excited to welcome Lesley Crook to our fast expanding team,” Enterprise Strategies Managing Director and Founder Andy Jankowski<\/a> said. “She is a passionate and experienced internal communications professional with knowledge, insights and personal successes in driving the adoption and business value internal social networks such as Yammer. I look forward to working with Lesley to continue to provide world class #futureofwork solutions to our current and future United Kingdom and Central European clients.”<\/p>\n

Prior to creating #wolan, Lesley was an Internal Digital Communications Manager for GlaxoSmithKline, where she inspired employees to use Yammer to improve employee empowerment and engagement. Working in a mutually successful Internal communication and IT partnership, Lesley helped launch and adopt the company’s Yammer strategy. She also led many other GSK internal communication digital channel programs, supported the GSK Brand team, led GSK’s Yammer adoption and facilitated their monthly SharePoint governance board.<\/p>\n

She was recently interviewed regarding #wolan in advance of International Working Out Loud Week (Nov. 16-20)<\/a>. A transcript of two interviews can be found athttps:\/\/wolweek.wordpress.com\/2015\/10\/22\/working-out-loud-in-a-network-interview-with-lesley-crook\/<\/a>.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

Never before has it been as important to provide employees an optimal digital work environment. And never before has it been so confusing to do so. As a Chief Human Resource Officer you want to provide inviting, efficient and fulfilling employee experiences. As a Chief Technology Officer you want technology that is extensible and provides flexibility for business changes. As a Chief Communication Officer you need channels that break through digital noise and enable effective and efficient bi-directional communication with employees. As Chief Financial Officer you want a comprehensive solution and commercial model that comes at a low financial impact and ultimately pays for itself. And as employees we want to be able to do our jobs in a frictionless, effective manner with tools that have the same style and ease of use that we have become accustomed to in our personal lives. The good news is that enterprise technologies, social constructs and many work cultures have evolved to the point where all of this is possible.
