Story
Centrica grew institutional knowledge faster than the local tools around it. From the United Kingdom, utilities teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Specialists and new hires were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Dropbox put documentation on Dropbox. Dropbox is a content collaboration platform for storing, sharing, and reviewing files across teams and external partners. Centrica keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so specialists and new hires do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier documentation. Institutional knowledge is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join specialists and new hires without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
