Guidance – Strategic Principles Increase Long-term Business Agility What does this mean to you? • Acquire commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions to speed delivery • Exploit out-of-the box functionality • Avoid custom building and customization. Configure as required • Modern, intuitive systems • Change business processes to leverage package functionality • Adopt industry best practice • Align to vendor’s product vision Manage Complexity • Use major solutions wherever possible • Limited coexistence period • Shared information standards • Align on common services • Standardize on 3-4 major solutions (e.g. CMSS, SAP) • Decommission old processes and systems • Share enterprise-wide services

What does this mean for our employees? Internal Customer Experience Staffing Industry standard skill sets Greater ability to hire Retirement risk mitigation • Moving to industry standard practices • Improved agility and speed implementing change • Richer user experience • Embracing change
Employee Portal Foundation Project What is it? • A gateway – providing quick access to the tools and information employees need to deliver superior customer service • EPFP is building the foundation – will ultimately replace the current Hub
The Hub has really grown over the years… • Over 5000 users • 400 sites • 100,000 pages • 150 policies & manuals • 850 forms 100,000 total pages 1999 The Hub 2005 Oct 2010

Employee experience gaps: Consistency • “We hide info by using different labels and different locations for similar content” (Click to play movie)
How does this problem impact us? • Employees’ Time • ✗“I looked for the answer for 30 min and gave up.” • Customer Service • ✗ The right expertise is not readily available to our employees when customers ask for it • ✗ We can’t be active participants in addressing the needs of the company • Collaboration • ✗No way to empower people to interact and build knowledge communities at ICBC
Mandate of EPFP Create a more consistent, predictable and successful user experience through: • A new consistent navigation, consistent page layouts, and improved search • A content management system with a publishing workflow to automate governance • A single content repository with multiple access points to eliminate content redundancies and inconsistencies
What will we be getting? Search Personalized Tools Governance Pricing Claims EPF Common Enablers Employee Portal Foundation Project Communication Directory Customer Relationship Collaboration Content There are a variety of new capabilities delivered through the Employee Portal
