“…Sometimes the postings are about the pulse of
the team, things that need to be discussed within
the group only. There are other things that we have
done that are beneficial to all of Shell, way beyond
our team, that we have the option of posting
outside the group for others to read and to respond.
We all agreed to use this question to decide when
we are posting something if it is beneficial to more
than our learning group then let’s post it globally
and if it is something where the rest of Shell might
not be interested in, then we keep it within our
team” (P1).

Self-reflection
“Within a corporate world
where everybody is running
all the time and we never stop
and reflect, NYW was a good
moment of reflection” (P2).
Awareness of expertise in team
“There is an expert on a subject matter on a particular
software across the pond and they are working actively
with their vendors and I needed to create an interface for
that project. So I utilised that person when I found out
that the Business Analysts across the pond, they helped
me get into contact with vendors to get the work done.
There are synergies that could be made, the connections
are not being made and should be made because people
do not understand exactly what people are working on.
With NYW you could actually say hey, that person is
working on that and that is applicable to my job, maybe
I should connect with that person” (P3).
Connecting with other teams
“I started going out of my work team and
started joining some of the other teams and it
helped me to learn some things that were
going on in the company. There is a group out
there for the Business Analysts, for all the BAs
in Shell. I really stay connected with them
because it learns [sic] me a lot of techniques
and things I could prevent from happening on
my own projects” (P1).
