Story
Materials work at Rio Tinto spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United Kingdom. Cross-team delivery was splitting across regional habits. Project and operations leads asked for a shared way to run program management without freezing local judgment.
Dropbox (DocSend) is what they standardized on. Dropbox is a content collaboration platform for storing, sharing, and reviewing files across teams and external partners. Rio Tinto uses it as the system of record for cross-team delivery, with project and operations leads as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
