Episode 175: From intranet to intent: How Zuora is building an AI-first digital workplace
In this episode of Digital Workplace Impact, DWG CEO Nancy Goebel speaks with Mary Kay (MK) Tisch, Head of Enterprise AI and Digital Workplace at Zuora, about what it really means to become an AI-first organization and why the future digital workplace may be defined by employee intent rather than destinations such as intranets. Drawing on her experience at Zuora, MK explains how employee behaviour revealed a fundamental shift in expectations: people no longer want to navigate complex information environments; they want to ask questions, get answers, take action and return to their work. This insight led Zuora to rethink the relationship between the digital workplace and AI, bringing them together in a single agenda focused on removing friction from everyday work. The conversation explores the practical realities of AI implementation, including enterprise search, curated AI toolkits, agile governance models, content ownership and rapid experimentation. Rather than committing to a single platform, Zuora has adopted a portfolio approach that allows teams to evaluate, adopt and retire tools quickly as the technology landscape evolves. For digital workplace and business leaders, one message stands out: AI success should not be measured primarily through headcount reduction. Organizations should focus instead on eliminating process friction, improving employee experiences and enabling people to work in smarter, more effective ways. The result is a compelling vision of a digital workplace transformed by AI, powered by governance and centred on meaningful outcomes.

Episode 174: Digital communications at work: Designing channels people actually use
Every year organizations pour money and resource into employee communications – launching new apps, newsletters, channels and campaigns. And yet, employees still struggle to find information, feel connected to colleagues, and work out what matters. Maybe the answer isn’t yet another channel but a more coherent communication ecosystem. In this episode of Digital Workplace Impact, DWG CEO Nancy Goebel talks with Sharon O’Dea and Jonathan Phillips, co-authors of the book Digital Communications at Work, about how to optimize digital channels so that people start to use, value and trust them. Sharon and Jonathan introduce their five-layer model – Plan, Collaborate, Publish, Distribute and Discuss – and explain why the process of publishing does not equal communication. They explore how discovery and user needs should shape channel choices, why adoption matters more than launch, and how leaders should move beyond vanity metrics to measuring outcomes and impact. The conversation also examines how AI is reshaping digital communications. From personalization and planning, to analysis and employee feedback, its potential extends far beyond merely generating copy. But realizing that potential requires human judgement, accurate source content, ownership and strong governance. For digital workplace practitioners and leaders, this episode offers a practical way to rethink channel strategy, adoption, measurement and AI governance. Listen for ideas that can help you build a more joined-up communication ecosystem and deliver greater value for employees and the organization. Guest speakers: Sharon O'Dea DWG member alumna, author and co-founder of Lithos Partners Jonathan Phillips Author and co-founder of Lithos Partners Sharon and Jonathan are co-authors of Digital Communications at Work.

Episode 173: From output to impact: Lessons from a Coca-Cola data scientist
How can digital workplace leaders move beyond counting activity to using data to demonstrate real business value? In thisepisode of Digital Workplace Impact, DWG’s Nancy Goebel talks with Data Scientist Felipe Archila about lessons gained whilebuilding digital workplace analytics capability at The Coca-Cola Company, and how those insights are shaping his move intodata and analytics within finance.

Effective measurement combines quantitative signals with qualitative feedback, recognizing the needs of employee personas and keeping workplace experience and what people need in order to get their jobs done front and centre. The conversation explores privacy-first workforce analytics, the importance of partnering with legal and privacy teams, andhow measurement must evolve as generative and agentic AI become increasingly embedded in everyday work.

For digital workplace leaders seeking to connect digital behaviours with business outcomes, this episode offers practical guidance on choosing meaningful measures, building trust and adapting analytics for an AI-enabled workplace.

Episode 171: How ING is tackling infobesity in the digital workplace
Information overload is a challenge facing organizations of every size, yet few have taken the time to understand its true impact on employees. In this episode of Digital Workplace Impact, DWG CEO Nancy Goebel speaks with Aletta van Asperen, Senior Communications Innovation Strategist at ING Group, about the organization's research into what it has termed 'infobesity' – the overwhelming volume of messages, notifications and content competing for employees' attention every day. Drawing on focus groups and employee communication diaries, ING uncovered valuable insights into how information flows through a large, complex organization. The research highlighted two major themes: duplication of communications and the challenge of relevance, with employees reporting that only around half of the communications they receive feel directly relevant to their work. Aletta explains how ING is using these findings to drive a long-term transformation focused on reducing noise, improving communication quality and creating a more streamlined digital workplace experience. The discussion explores collaboration between communications, HR and technology teams, the growing importance of content governance in the age of AI and why communicators must act as advocates for employee experience. Digital workplace leaders and practitioners will gain practical insights into reducing information overload, improving content effectiveness and creating sustainable change that helps employees focus on what matters most.

Episode 168: Hyperadaptive – Rewiring organizations to become AI-native
What does it really take to make AI work at scale inside large organizations? In this episode of Digital Workplace Impact, DWG Chief Executive Nancy Goebel sits down with Melissa Reeve, author of Hyperadaptive: Rewiring the enterprise to become AI-native, to explore why so many AI initiatives stall – and what leaders must do differently to calm the hype and achieve lasting impact. Drawing on her background in Lean, Agile and DevOps thought leadership, Melissa argues that AI is not just a technology shift but a fundamental rewiring of the operating model. She introduces the concept of the ‘hyperadaptive’ organization – one that can sense and respond in near real time by compressing decision-making, workflows and governance. Crucially, becoming AI-native is as much about people, culture and leadership as it is about tools. The conversation unpacks the difference between being AI-enabled and AI-native, before examining why rushing to automate without strong foundations erodes trust. Melissa shares her practical five-stage Hyperadaptive Model, explains why dynamic governance and AI literacy matter more than pilots, and makes a compelling case for investing in new roles and learning systems such as AI activation hubs. With encouraging job predictions from the World Economic Forum and a real-world example from Moderna, this episode challenges leaders to think systemically and take a deliberate, long-term approach to AI. Guest speaker: Melissa Reeve, Author of ‘Hyperadaptive: Rewiring the enterprise to become AI-native’ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
