Enabling and empowering remote employees #HOU365Kanwal Khipple
From the beginning, we have always been a remote first company. Consulting with customers remotely can be a challenge and was an important skill that we have been teaching to our teams. Though building trust with your team was harder than originally thought. We experimented and tried out a number of ways to be inclusive for our diverse team.
Attend this session to learn about
Enabling every employee to have an impact
Supporting and encouraging work/life balance
Encouraging innovation through experimentation
The document discusses how work is changing due to technology innovations and increased collaboration. It notes that work can now be done anywhere, anytime, on any device, with more people both inside and outside an organization. However, collaboration is still challenging and adoption of collaboration tools needs improvement. The document proposes several ways to improve collaboration, such as better meeting management, using analytics to understand work patterns, and planning adoption campaigns. Overall it argues that changes in how people work requires continuous effort to improve digital skills and drive organizational change.
The future of the modern workplace and Office 365Sam Marshall
This document discusses the future of the modern workplace and the role of Office 365. It argues that Office 365 needs to be planned as part of a wider employee experience approach, and that the focus should be on the "glue" that joins different collaboration processes. It also suggests thinking beyond just Office 365 to address the total employee experience and fill gaps in the modern workplace.
Intranets in the Cloud: What You Need to Know at Unity Connect Online #UCO16 Kanwal Khipple
There is a growing trend of organizations moving to Office 365 to meet their Intranet and portal needs. While many organizations are running their SharePoint portals or Intranets on-premise, in a private cloud, or on public cloud offerings like Azure – many have already started or made the move to Office 365 powered Intranet experiences.
The question for many companies is “should our Intranet be built with Office 365?” and if so, “how should we best take advantage of Office 365 features with our Intranet?”
We’ll give you guidance and recommendations to successfully plan and implement an Office 365 Intranet as well as:
The benefits of Office 365 for Intranets
Why you should consider migrating your Intranet to Office 365
When and how you may integrate Office 365 with your existing Intranet today
Lessons learned and challenges with Office 365 Intranets
This document discusses collaboration tools and how they fit different cultural needs within organizations. It outlines three common collaboration scenarios (a web developer, a program manager, and a customer success manager) that have different collaboration styles and tool preferences. The document argues that most organizations have a mix of these cultural styles and that the right solution provides the right tools for real-time, process-based, and community-based collaboration needs. It presents Beezy as an enterprise collaboration solution built for the Microsoft stack that can customize experiences for different groups' needs.

Tidying up with Marie Kondo is a phenomenon that has taken the world by storm. Marie Kondo has developed a simple method to help declutter and organise your home. Inspired by this KonMari Method of tidying up, we will explore how to apply similar steps in experience design.
Design systems are the key to keeping digital properties organised so that changes and updates can be made seamlessly. When a design system is set up properly, creating new features and templates can happen fairly quickly. This allows us, as designers, to focus on solving user needs and creating an overall better user experience instead of spending our time on mundane tasks of re-creating patterns and modules.
Future of Designing Collaboration Experiences in Office 365 #sptechconKanwal Khipple
Imagine a future where silo'd departments and legacy processes don’t stand in our way. Today’s collaboration needs go from complex collaboration portals to simple innovation hubs and most importantly need to work for our devices. Designing portals to enable a new kind of collaboration and communication is an absolute necessity today.For the past couple years, I’ve had the opportunity to study how successful teams collaborate and have helped to transform the way teams work and collaborate together. In this session, I'll share what I’ve learned about making effective cross-discipline collaboration possible, and leave you with actionable approaches you can use to unite your team's communication and collaboration needs.
Proven Recipes for Designing Highly Adoptive Portals #collab365Kanwal Khipple
No one starts a project with the intent of building an ugly intranet. We always have good intentions to build the best communication and collaboration portal the company has ever seen. We ensure that executives and end users are involved to design and implement from a portal based on their experience. What ends up happening? Portals are built with too many links to content or even stale content, images that take too long to load or are generic. You even had good intentions to leverage many features and perhaps some are even using it. What you typically find is that after the initial buzz of the launch, adoption fails. Why is that? If that sounds like what you recently went through, then attend this session to learn the strategies and implement them tomorrow. Learn the key principles in building innovative solutions that are simple but capture user’s attention and increase adoption.
Lessons Learned from Designing Award Winning PortalsKanwal Khipple
No one has been using your employee portal and now you've been tasked with rebuilding it for success. Looking at this project you realize that you don't have sufficient time, budget or resources to deliver the portal successful. Are you wondering what you can do to convince more executives for more budget? Or perhaps, you'd like to be creative with what you have and still exceed expectations? If you've answered yes to both questions, this session is for you.
In this session, we'll go together on this journey on delivering a successful project. I'll be sharing some of my best practices from the field.
Features Covered
We'll be going through the following:
1. how to effectively build a business case on getting more budget, time and resources
2. how to effectively trace requirements from discovery, documenting functionality, development to QA / UAT
Session Objectives
In this session, you will learn...
1. Change Management Best Practices
2. Social Collaboration
3. Training and Adoption Strategies
4. Requirement Gathering
Every year we independently evaluate the marketplace for SharePoint intranet in-a-box products. In this webinar, we take an industry focus to consider the trends and prospects for products and vendors.
We'll begin with the state of the art identified in our 2019 SharePoint Intranets report, and compare Microsoft's roadmap with how vendors have responded. We'll also look at trends outside the SharePoint space and ask what should be learned.

Proactive Governance & Adoption For Microsoft 365: Canadian Cloud SummitRichard Harbridge
Proactive governance of Microsoft 365 is critical as organizations continue to depend more and more on the competitive advantage and productivity it can provide. Microsoft 365’s value and impact are dependent on whether it is leveraged (adopted) and how efficiently it is leveraged (governance). However Microsoft 365 can be daunting to tackle around governance and management. Where do you start? Is Microsoft Teams governance what should be prioritized first? What part of Teams governance? The Microsoft Teams lifecycle and the Microsoft Teams lifecycle management? What do the business stakeholders lead, and what does IT lead? How do we drive adoption pro-actively while improving coordination, management, and end-user experiences with effective governance?
Join Richard Harbridge, a Microsoft MVP and internationally recognized expert on Microsoft 365 and the Digital Workplace, as he shares proven approaches to getting started with and succeeding in establishing and improving Microsoft 365 Governance. In shifting from a reactive approach to Microsoft 365 governance to a pro-active one and from a reactive approach to adoption to a pro-active approach to adoption that drives better results, accomplishes more with less, and empowers the organization to maximize the value of their digital workplace.
Microsoft Teams & Yammer Enterprise Social: Better TogetherRichard Harbridge
Organizations today need to be more responsive as people are more connected than ever. While many organizations understand the benefits social technology can provide it’s often not as clear how we can go about implementing these technologies to complement our organization’s investments in collaborative technologies like Yammer, Microsoft Teams, and SharePoint.
Join Richard Harbridge as he shares practical, real-world guidance for enterprise social and the future of work. Richard explains how and where customers are investing in social, what is changing and important to understand, and what technology investments have been made and are being made by Microsoft to help customers connect and work in a cloud-first and mobile-first world.
The document discusses the differences between Atlassian's Data Center and Cloud offerings, providing information on when each option is best suited and outlining their key advantages. It covers topics such as pricing, security, scalability, customization options, and the challenges of migrating between the two platforms. The Data Center allows for more customization and control but requires more maintenance, while the Cloud provides automatic updates and reduced costs through a software-as-a-service model.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

People don't think about sharing information that might be useful broadly
-TED Talk Stanley McCrystal
Taking the MOCA down to an individual level, and how we work every day, we use this idea of the audience and the value to help understand what belongs where when it comes to communication. So lets start and look at the flow of the information from this individual through the organisation:
Communities are a great place to find and share information, innovate by building on ideas of others and learn by exchanging experiences and skills. This enables leaders across the organisation to keep employees engaged, promoting transparency, diversity and inclusion.
A community is typically coordinated by a community facilitator and offers a number of different ‘needs’ to its members.
+
Healthy communities drive knowledge creation, retention and application across the organisation. They keep the people tapped onto the heart-beat of the everyday and ensure that their wisdom and experience is retained for future generations of employees.
+
For an organisation to be “productive” and imbibe good behaviours, the leadership must develop the right enablement culture through new ways of collaborating, communicating and sharing information - that focuses on creating a learning mindset.
According to research done by Prosci, The #1 obstacle to success for a major change, is ineffective sponsorship.
+
An “Organization” is defined as - Social units (or human groupings) deliberately constructed and reconstructed to seek specific goals by coordinating the actions of their members.
The organisational perspective explore the generic capabilities that need to be established across the wider organisation, and include – the ability to assess organisational behaviour, live broadcasting, corporate communications & news, as well as the ability for people across the different business areas to create their own simple business solutions. Once again, the Microsoft 365 suite of technologies provide a holistic set of tools and applications that enable these core capabilities of every modern organisation.

Yammer is the Community Management Platform in Microsoft 365 and we see typically see News, Social and Center of Excellence as the most common type of communities.

Now, before we go forward, lets talk about some major differences between a team, and a community.
Let’s reflect on the definition of a team – a group of individuals, with interdependent activities that work together, towards a common goal.
So, the membership of each team member is mandatory, given that there is a dependency on their skills sets and their ability to complete their tasks.
Now think about this – each interdependency within the activity create additional risk towards achieving the outcome, and thus it is critical to manage the team size and the efficiency in team processes.
Research done by the Wharton University of Pennsylvania recommends that the ideal team size is between 5-12 members, which mitigates against the exponential increase in risk and focuses on getting work done.
With communities on the other hand, member is based on your interests. As employees need to tackle different challenges, they community membership also changes. The larger the community, the more perspectives members can benefit from. And where teams focus on outcome delivery, often aligned to the strategic priorities of the organisation, communities are there to ensure that employees are learning, growing, innovating and sharing the organisational experience.
In Microsoft 365, Yammer is the tool to connect and engage people across the organization.
That’s Yammer’s strategic position in the suite.
Yammer provides a set of differentiated superpowers to drive scenarios that are critical for organizations, particularly in these times of hybrid work. Those scenarios include:
Fostering community and connectedness. Yammer uniquely connects people across their working groups and flattens business silos. Yammer enables people to form communities around shared roles, initiatives, topics and interests. Conversations in Yammer are open by default, and Yammer enables people to serendipitously discover and connect valuable content, people and topics across the organization.
Communicating and engaging at scale. Communicators can reach and engage everyone in the organization, at scale. We have customers using Yammer to drive company-wide communications to hundreds of thousands of employees and frontline workers. Communicators can also use communities to define audience segments within an organization, and target messages more effectively. And when you post an announcement in Yammer it will reach your audience across Outlook, Teams, and Viva Connections, across web, PC, Mac, iOS and Android. Importantly, that means Yammer is the omni-channel communications tool in Microsoft 365.
Harnessing knowledge, answers and ideas. Communities are a place where people can come together to share best practices, ask and answer questions, solicit feedback, and generate ideas, together. We see customers getting significant business value with communities around topics, job roles, initiatives, and internal products and services.
Yammer supports these scenarios natively in our web, desktop and mobile apps, and we’re working hard to integrate Yammer’s superpowers and these scenarios into Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, Viva and even into your custom applications and intranets.
So Yammer is about connecting and engaging people across the organization. That broad set of outcomes and those scenarios have become more important than ever over the last 21 months. During the pandemic, organizations clamored to move their work to the cloud. They did a great job of figuring out how to keep work going, and many of you were directly involved with the success of your customers in in moving to the cloud.
But the pandemic also put stresses on organizations outside of individual working groups. It was more than just how do you keep collaborating and meeting in the cloud, but how do you drive culture? How do you drive organization wide communication? How do you break down barriers to share knowledge? How do you encourage people to connect and foster extended networks?
Individual connections have been shown to be critical to employee well being and success.
Those scenarios drove astronomical growth of Yammer over the past 2 years. Yammer now supports tens of millions of people every month, making it one of the largest enterprise communications platforms in the world.
Let’s dive into how we’re enabling community and discovery in your organizations.
