Background - WashPost Web Solutions

• Back to 2005, we’ve been working on how to
 better support our apps

• Much of the problem stemmed from important
 knowledge being trapped

 • Various private and shared drives

 • Old email threads

 • But mostly, people’s brains

Business in transition
Strategic Focus: Innovation
•“We actively develop new revenue streams from non-traditional
  sources.”

•“We introduce and support new brands, selectively, when we
  believe that doing so allows us to achieve the full potential an
  opportunity may afford.”

•“We make bets on ideas that can have material impact even if
  they entail high risk. We invest in small-scale experiments to
  learn more about areas of strategic opportunity where
  uncertainty is high. More than ever, responsible innovation is
  necessary for our success.”

•“Because of the high level of marketplace uncertainty, we
  regularly monitor and revisit our strategies, being willing and
                                                                Dave Burke
