In this webinar we look at the options for managing Office 365, and how to govern it so that it’s aligned with how your organisation works. Co-hosted by Sam Marshall of ClearBox and Franck van Diest of Debble.
Part of the appeal of Office 365 is that you get a broad range of tools. People are also empowered with a lot of freedom to request and manage features, such as sites, groups and teams. This openness can work well in some situations, but can also cause confusion.
-How Office 365 gives users freedom
-Why Microsoft’s push to let everyone do anything isn’t a great idea
-Strategies for Office 365 and SharePoint governance settings
-Why silos aren’t always such a bad thing.

Elements of governance policy
18. Freedom is great
But…
It is just too easy, so many New New New buttons… leading to silo’s
You can’t expect people to set up, configure and finish their own work environment
Every company has own specific need in handling workspaces
19. What are you doing?
Users can’t always grasp O365
O365 is somewhat unclear at times
Teams, SharePoint Sites, Groups, Planner, Skype, Mail,OneNote..
Integration is not at the level you expect it to be
We get an overload of working environments, doubles, empty Sites andTeams etc.
20. Is that good Governance?
Governance is not just a piece of paper
It should be anchored in your Digital Workplace, automated
And support your business and corporate strategy
21. What do you need?
Empower your business
Provide them with ready to go templates
That fit into and follow your corporate Governance
And can be set up in minutes
22. Self Service?Yes!
But…. governed
Take away the New New New buttons
And offer one or more alternative ones
That enrol ready to go workspaces
Offer workspaces that supportYOUR business
O365 is a very generic platform
Setup templates for workspaces that are really ready to go
That are safe, follow your Governance and strategy
That don’t bother you people with the burden of finishing the setup of workspaces
23. Examples
Your project is not mine
What do you require in a project?
How secure does it need to be?
Site request process
Can everyone create them?
Do you require approval?
Do you want a notification?
24. How much control do you need?
Company A

Our expert assessments of products
that transform SharePoint into a useful

1) Unknown, it's a free-for-all (and sometimes a fight).
2) We're getting there - we promote the guidance documents.
3) The principles are well understood and we trust our colleagues.
4) Governance is embedded - systems and processes automatically guide good behaviour.
5) We don't have Office 365 yet - ask me in a year.
Office 365 offers numerous settings that help you create a safe working environment, nobody doubts about that!
It does not support YOUR specific business needs though.
Left is where most companies are, nice and tighty
Right is where companies think they want to go. O365 supports thismodel
The middle is where we want to be, as users, we need guidance, leadership and yes, good goverance.
