Axel Springer is a media and technology company and active in more than 40 countries. By providing information across its diverse media brands (among others BILD, WELT, BUSINESS INSIDER, POLITICO) and classifieds portals (Stepstone Group and AVIV Group) Axel Springer SE empowers people to make free decisions for their lives.

All companies within the group act individually as entrepreneurs, which leads not only to a culture of cultures but also to a diverse communication infrastructure without a joint intranet solution. And this is not a bug, it’s a feature.

In this presentation you will learn:

• How group-wide collaboration and employee engagement can be secured without having one joint communication platform in place.
• What important role stakeholder management plays and how we get everyone on board to support this groupwide initiative.
• Which tools and measures can be used to connect employees world-wide, foster group-wide knowledge exchange and create a feeling of belonging.
• Challenges and opportunities of this decentral approach.
