EBNs are inclusive and open to everyone. EBN Pillars: Employee, Customer, Community

10 2010 Decentralized EBN Model Challenges Widely dispersed store network Most EBN members are hourly Lack of meeting space Centralized funding not scalable Heavy workload for co-chairs Limited line of sight to what each EBN was focusing on Little measurement of outcomes Sponsor was highly recommended but not required; sponsors could be store managers Each EBN was at a different stage in their lifecycle; energy overall seemed to be waning

11 2010 Decentralized EBN Model Best Buy’s Solution EBNs are formed with stores in close proximity Business plan and ongoing monthly scorecard are required EBNs are locally supported (funding, labor, meeting space) Expanded leadership roles to spread out the responsibility and workload Ongoing developmental opportunities built in to meeting rhythms First 4 meetings are structured with agendas, presentations and other documents built for the EBNs District-level sponsor required All field EBNs relaunched by 4/30
