Understanding the Culture of Collaboration in your OrganizationChristian Buckley
Presented at Commsverse 2022
When looking at the collaboration culture within your organization, there are three areas where you can focus: people, process, and technology. The number one mistake that organizations make is that we typically focus most of our time and attention on technology...and the least on people. In this session, we'll tackle the various collaboration "profiles" in modern work, and how we can better leverage our technology to drive better people outcomes.

A walk-through of the functional and governance implications of disabling sharing within Office 365.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

4. 1. Quick view of all of your Teams
What
It is easy to lose track of all of the Teams that
you’re a member of – but there’s also a quick
way to view all of your Teams, membership
types, basic analytics, and more.
Why
It is a healthy governance habit to regularly
review and clean up group, team, team site,
and community membership. It makes
navigation easier, and de-clutters your life.
How
From the Teams tab on the left nav, you’ll nee
your list of current pinned channels and active
Teams. At the bottom, click on the wheel icon
to access the ‘Manage teams’ page.
5. 2. Access the History Menu
What
“If you spend most of your day in Microsoft Teams, you know
how difficult it is to bounce back and forth between various
teams, apps, tabs, and so forth. If you have to go to a new
workspace, you then have to try and figure out where you were
before. Microsoft has made it easier to get back and forth
between areas by giving you a History Menu in the upper-left
corner of the Teams client, much like the forward and
backward buttons in a browser.”
Why
We spend far too much time trying to remember where we’ve
been, which tab we accidentally closed, or what we were
working on before going to lunch. This makes life easier.
How
Hover over the back arrow and you’ll see the last 10+ locations
you visited. Select from these recent sites, or click the arrows
to move back and forth between visited Teams and Channels.

at oneminuteofficemagic.com
6. 3. Create Tabs in Chats
What
With every private chat, four tabs are
provisioned by default: Conversations, Files,
Organization, and Activity. Users have the
ability to add additional tabs that can only be
seen by chat members
Why
For ongoing private chats (e.g. manager and
direct report) you may have tools and data on
which you collaborate regularly. As with tabs
in channels, you can use tabs in chats to
surface important data and tools.
How
Select the target chat, and at the top of the
workspace, click on the + to add a new tab.
7. 4. Connect to your Cloud Storage
What
No matter how much we may attempt to pull all
relevant content into a single location, the reality is
that our content and artifacts are spread across
multiple locations. Teams provides a native
capability to link to cloud storage, whether they be
non-Teamified SharePoint sites, OneDrive accounts,
or other competitive storage locations.
Why
Sometimes it makes sense to leave content in its
original location, but you still want quick access to
everything related to your Team or Channel.
How
Within Files, simply click on ‘Add cloud storage’ and
select from the available options. Or click on the + on
the top nav and add a cloud storage option as a tab.
8. 5. Bookmark Important Conversations
What
Bookmarking saves threaded discussions to
your profile so that you can keep track of
important conversations.
Why
One of the most frustrating aspects of the
proliferation of conversations, teams, channels,
projects, documents, meetings and more is
navigating them. Bookmarks help you to
organize your conversations.
How
From the ellipsis (…) on any conversational
post, select ‘Save This Message’ to add the
bookmark. To see your bookmarks, click on
your profile image and select ‘Saved’. The
saved messages will appear on the left. Click
on the saved icon to remove your bookmark.
9. 6. Refine your Search Results
What
While the search experience within Teams is still a work
in progress, many people are unaware of the progress
already made, including refiners and sort options.
Why
We need help sorting through the complexity of
messages, conversations, files and people profiles. No
matter how much we tag, sort, and organize, we still rely
on search – and Teams provides some excellent sorting
features.
How
To start your search, type in your search term in the
command bar at the top of Teams. Here, I'm searching
for items related to ‘co-sell.’ I can narrow my search to
Messages, People, and Files, and have several sort
options. More details at https://support.microsoft.com/en-
us/office/search-for-messages-and-more-in-teams-4a351520-33f4-42ab-
a5ee-5fc0ab88b263
10. 7. Mark Messages as Unread
What
Users often look for a way to flag messages in Teams.
Other than saving a message, there is not currently a way
to flag a message.
Why
Most information workers are task-minded and list-driven.
Work conversations may, logically, generate work
activities. While Cortana is getting better at identifying
potential tasks within email, we’re still stuck with manually
flagging chats and creating our own tasks within Teams.
How
You can mark an already read message as unread by
selecting “mark as unread” from the ellipses (…) menu.
This will show that you have an unread message in the
left rail and the message will be turned to bold type for
easy identification.
11. 8. Redirect Email Conversations to Channels
What
You can send an email to a channel in Teams
using the channel email address. Once an
email is part of a channel, anyone can reply to
it to start a conversation.
Why
Sometimes you may want to redirect an
important email thread to Teams so that
everyone on the project team can see and
participate in the discussion.
How
Within the target channel, click on the ellipsis
(…) and select ‘Get Email Address’. Copy the
email address, and paste into your forwarded
message.
12. 9. Leverage the Immersive Reader
What
The immersive reader is great feature that is available
across a number of Office 365 apps, such as Word and
PowerPoint. With it you can hear posts, chat messages,
and assignments read aloud. It also includes grammar
tools such as Parts of Speech and Picture Dictionary.
Why
Sometimes we need the “hands free” experience,
allowing us to multi-task (i.e. use the home gym while
listening to an analyst report being read back to you).
How
To use the immersive reader simply click the three dots
next to a message and select “immersive reader.” This
will bring the message into focus and you can click play
to have it read out loud.
13. 10. Copy a Team to build a Team
What
Within Teams, you can use an existing Team structure
and attributes to create a new team.
Why
When creating a new Team, sometimes you want to build
from scratch – and sometimes you want to rinse and
repeat from other successful Team structures. This is
especially useful when creating similar product or product-
focused Teams where you want your sites to be
consistently designed.
How
When creating a new Team, simply follow the dialog
boxes to create your new Team from an existing Team (or
Office 365 Group). The Team structure is copied including
channels, and tabs are created but not connected. Files
and chats do not come over.
14. 11. Create a Custom Invite
What
Personalize your Teams Meeting invitations to
include your company logo, URL and other
header and footer details.
Why
It provides a more polished look and feel to
your invites, but also allows you to promote
your site and support contact details with every
invitations sent.
How
Within the Teams Admin Center, go into
Meetings > Meeting settings > Email invitation
and add the necessary details. Click
‘Preview invite’ to see your meeting invitation
and test your image link.
When done, click Save and wait for the
changes to propagate on your tenant.
15. 12. Clean Up Your Hypertext Links
What
Using a keyboard shortcut, you can clean up
lengthy hypertext links to keep your channel
posts short and organized, adding as link to
selected text.
Why
Nobody likes lengthy links (especially those
generated by SharePoint or OneDrive!).
How
Highlight the words you wish to link and
press CTRL-K, which opens a dialog box.
Enter your lengthy URL and click Insert.
16. 13. Sync Files to Your Desktop
What
Using the Teams integration with OneDrive, you can
quickly synchronize files and folders with your local
computer.
Why
If you are frequently opening certain files, or have a
very active project and want to reduce clicks to get to
key content, you can create a sync between your
target files and your local computer to streamline
your access.
How
Go into the Files within your target channel and
select ‘Sync’ from the top menu. Teams will prepare
the link to OneDrive, and then add a quick access
folder to your desktop.
17. 14. Make your conversations more searchable
What
Channels can carry thousands of threaded conversations.
Luckily, Microsoft Teams makes it easy for you to tag your
chats with memorable, more searchable titles so you can
easily find your way back to them in the future should the need
arise.
Why
We add taxonomy and folksonomy to documents to make it
possible to find them via search, yet we don’t take similar steps
to make our chats/conversations searchable. We should.
How
For chats, select the pencil next to the member names at the
top and type in a title that relates to the content of the chat and
includes a word or phrase that will help you find it again.
In general, get into the habit of using tags (which can act as
DLs), hashtags and @mentions whenever possible.
18. 15. Treat Meetings as documents
What
By default, all Teams Meetings should be recorded and
transcribed, with appropriate compliance and security
measures to ensure that these important information
assets are treated as any other intellectual property.
Why
Meetings are essentially documents/artifacts that include
valuable contextual information that, if they are not
recorded and transcribed, could be lost.
The same can be said about chats.
How
Your governance team and/or Admins should establish
policies around all Teams Meetings within the Admin
Center, recording and transcribing them by default – but
also setting appropriate permissions and restrictions
about who can view, download, or delete them.
19. 16. Microsoft Lens in Teams Chat
What
The new Microsoft Lens will enable the integration of
short video bites in Teams Chat. With Microsoft Lens
built into Teams, you will be able to record a short video,
annotate it with text, emojis, do basic editing, and add
live filters.
Why
In real-time, you will be able to add your thoughts about
what you’re capturing with video from Teams and share it
immediately with your colleagues.
How
Currently in preview, but can be added in a chat by
selecting + next to ‘Type a Message’ and adding the app.
20. 17. Leverage Loop Components
What
Announced as part of Microsoft Ignite 2021, Microsoft Loop
is a “reimagining” of Microsoft Office that allows Teams
users to insert live components (previously called fluid
components) into conversations that can be viewed and
updated collaboratively from different workspaces.
Why
Loop components allow people to collaborate on and interact
with data no matter which workload they prefer. Loop allows
people to collaborate “in the flow of work” without having to
constant context switch between apps or tools.
How
Once your Teams Admin has enabled Loop, users will see
the Loop components icon appear within the toolbox. More

22. 18. Get organized with MyHub
What
MyHub streamlines your navigation within Teams,
allowing you to create “hubs” that act as favorites,
allowing you to quick locate and jump to the relevant
location. It provides a one-stop-shop for your sites,
teams, and communities.
Why
“Save time. Be more productive. Quit searching.
MyHub eliminates chaos and brings order to your
workspaces across Microsoft Teams, Groups,
SharePoint, and Yammer.”
How
Once approved by your admin, simply search for and
add the app, then pin to your left nav for easy access.
Then create hubs that fit the way that you work.

23. 19. Sync with Message Center updates
What
The pace of new features and changes within
Microsoft 365 can be a challenge to keep up with,
but you can sync your Message Center updates
with Planner/Tasks in Teams, giving a broader
audience a heads up on changes to your tenant.
Why
A Message Center sync allows your team to more
readily review and triage announcements as they
appear, more quickly identifying and mitigating
changes that will impact your employees.
How
The Teams Admin needs to enable the sync, and
point the updates to a new or existing Planner plan.
There are a few basic options for how the updates
will be organized. More info at
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/planner/track-message-
center-tasks-planner
24. 20. Utilize the Microsoft Teams Adoption Site
What
The Microsoft Adoption site is constantly being
updated with documentation, templates, and
general guidance on all-things Teams.
Why
Don’t recreate the wheel. Learn from Microsoft and
our amazing community of experts, many of which
have contributed to this content.
How
