With improvements across key sites and platforms, employees now have a clearer path to the tools and information they need — helping teams across WBD stay informed, work smoothly and stay connected.
I’ve been working as a SharePoint developer for 17 years, and it’s the first time I’ve seen something that I can see how it’ll make my life easier.
Simple to navigate. Easy to trust. Designed for everyone at WBD.
Warner Bros. Discovery’s (WBD) journey began with improving SharePoint experiences for Learning & Development — creating clearer, more engaging sites that set a new standard across the organisation. As the relationship grew, this expanded into a Power Platform Centre of Excellence (CoE), supporting thousands of makers with structure, guidance and a confident way to innovate. WBD is now preparing a Copilot CoE, continuing the shift toward a more organised and supportive digital workplace.

The Four Pillars of the WBD–Silicon Reef Partnership
These four pillars reflect the breadth of Warner Bros. Discovery’s digital evolution. Demonstrating a confident, forward‑looking shift toward simpler, more connected and more empowering ways of working. Each pillar represents a deliberate investment in improved employee experience and organisational capability.
Evolving SharePoint Experiences for L&D & People Teams
WBD began strengthening key SharePoint environments across Learning & Development and People & Culture, refining site experiences to make them more intuitive, consistent and aligned with how employees engage with content day to day.
Using Beacon templates and modern design principles, these enhancements created a clearer structure and an improved experience that now informs a wider approach to SharePoint excellence across the organisation.
A Unified Microsoft 365 Front Door with Viva Connections
As WBD continued to embrace modern tools, the vision emerged for a single, trusted destination that brings together Microsoft 365 guidance, product updates, training and support.
The Viva Connections–powered Collaboration Hub is designed to simplify the everyday experience. Helping employees navigate tools confidently, integrating support from systems like ServiceNow and creating one recognisable home for learning and digital enablement across regions.
Power Platform Centre of Excellence (CoE)
With more than 30,000 Power Platform licences available, WBD formalised a Centre of Excellence to empower makers while ensuring consistency and governance.
Through environment strategy, DLP guardrails, community enablement and practical guidance, the CoE supports creators across the organisation—strengthening responsible innovation and driving long term digital transformation.
Preparing for the Future with a Copilot CoE
Looking ahead, WBD is shaping a Copilot Centre of Excellence that will define responsible AI patterns, establish clear data boundaries and provide practical support for employees adopting Copilot in their daily work.
This forward thinking approach positions WBD to take advantage of AI securely, confidently and in a way that enhances productivity across the organisation.
