24. Agile and Adam Pisoni Concept
« Fail Fast… »
to learn and improve quickly
25. Use Yammer if...
• ... No legal constraint applies to your profession.
• ... Collaborate with external partners or customers is
one of your essential needs.
• ... You need a way to facilitate collaboration and
improve visibility within your organization.
• ... Company discussions are enclosed in email, but you
want to immediately increase the visibility of a topic or
conversation.
• ... You want to use a hashtag # to initiate participation
in real time and sharing in a corporate event such as a
meeting or a product review.
• … You start from scratch.
26. Use SharePoint if…
•... If the legal constraints related to your
profession prohibits the presence of data in the
cloud.
•... Your business policies restrict content sharing
or discussion of intellectual property outside of
approved or well-managed system groups.
•... You want to create a “practice community" in
a unique user experience by using same sites
models, same information architecture, and Web
Parts that the rest of your SharePoint portal.
•... You already have a functional SharePoint
portal.
30. Social data migration
•Yammer offers a complete export data in CSV
format.
•SharePoint:
•2010: Social databases are dedicated
•2013: social data are distributed in content
database
•No current possibility to import data into
Yammer
32. Integrate Yammer in SharePoint
•Present any Yammer feeds in a SharePoint
Page
•Present company or group activities in the
SharePoint context without switching to
another tool
Install
Yammer App
Add Yammer
feed to « My
Site »
Add Yammer
feed on any
team site
40. Knowledge
The knowledge can be defined as
‘an organized body of facts,
principles, procedures and
information acquired over time’. (N.
Blanchard and J. Thacker, 2009)
knowledge refers to what individuals
or teams of employees know or know
how to do (human and social
knowledge) as well as a company’s
rules, processes, tools, and routines
(structured knowledge). (R. Noe, 2008)
To remain competitive companies need
to develop strategies to retain
knowledge from older workers and
transfer it successfully to other
employees in the corporation. (T. Calo, 2008)
“As the Baby Boomer generation
prepares for retirement, many firms want to
be sure that the knowledge and experience
gained by the current leadership does not walk
out the door when they do” (S. Glick, 2007)
41. Knowledge versus Know-how
•For 20 years, document is considered as THE
reference
Document by nature

•Form a cloud of data
from existing systems
to better exploit your
information.
•Avoid errors during
copying of data
between systems.
•Using SharePoint as a
data bus

45. 1. Improve your Search engine
•Use what you got first… No additional license
cost
•Create additional Search Pages to enrich the
Search experience
•Open Graph and Office Graph use Search engine
•SharePoint Search, Yammer Search or PowerBI
Search?
•Connect on your applications and crawl the
content
•Federate Search between your applications
47. 2. Start you Enterprise Social Network
•Create a Business uses catalog to resolve
concrete business situations
•Even if you are using SharePoint Social
Features… Jump In! Think about Community
template
•Integrate social in processes to increase
adoption instead of Emails. Ex: Communicate
with some partners
•Start small but think BIG… But Start!
48. Business uses catalog example

49. 3. Give the right tool to your users
•Empower your users with efficient tools
•Knowledge stored in an Email is lost or
unusable for the rest of the company
•Ex: Use Harmon.ie third party tool to break
habits and the Email silos
•Think Mobile First for your tools. More than
50% of conversations will not happen at the
office.
52. harmon.ie
Your Collaboration Apps in One Screen… Everywhere You Work

54. 4. Provide some default Dashboards
•Extract data from your graph to generate
Excel and PowerBI data sources.
•Visio Services are already part of your
product… Use it!
•Some of these dashboards already exists…
Just use it!
•Yammer dashboards with PowerBI

63. Yammer can easily integrate with…
•Online or on-premises applications
•Embeddable plug-ins
•REST Application Programming Interface (API)
•OpenGraph-enabled social apps
64. Yammer Embeddable Plug-ins
•Yammer’s embeddable plug-ins allow
employees to use a single identity and access
the same content across all of their business
applications. Yammer Connect Login: Add the Login Button
to your business apps so that users can log in
with their Yammer accounts.
Embeddable Feeds: Embed any Yammer feeds
in your existing business apps.
Like and Follow Buttons: Yammer surfaces
more relevant content based on the objects
that users Like and Follow.
Yammer App Directory: There are many
business apps that connect with Yammer,
including the ones listed to the right.
65. The Yammer REST API
•Yammer’s REST API provides a secure HTTP
interface that allows you to easily add social
services to enterprise applications.
• The REST API helps you easily post messages or activity
updates from any platform due to the basic dependencies.
• Using the Data Export API, you can archive content from your
Yammer network. This can help meet compliance requirements,
or facilitate your own custom analysis of Yammer data.
• Reporting on data such as group memberships can provide
useful insight to community managers and for custom reports.
• Social networks have become increasingly important as a way to
sign users into applications. Implementing Sign-On with Yammer
using OAuth and REST helps you to improve the user experience
of your applications.
67. Start working like a Brain
•A connectome is
a comprehensive
map of neural
connections in
the brain, and
may be thought
of as its "wiring
diagram". -
Wikipedia
68. Start small
•But think big
•Short iterations to
give more visibility to
your improvements (3
months).
•Spread the word
about successes!!!
