Top 7 Ways To Improve Teams And SharePoint Navigation In Your Digital WorkplaceRichard Harbridge
70% of people start their journey by navigating. It is at the very heart of an effective digital workplace. Improving the navigation experience is Intranet's number one priority, and it often is not effectively designed or implemented. Navigation is also foundational for integration, automation, security, and many other essential areas of digital workplace investment. Poor navigation creates unnecessary inefficiencies and dependency on already overburdened resources to fill the navigation gaps with their time and effort directing requests, linking digital workspaces, essential applications, and more.
The good news is that organizations employ proven designs and best practices today to overcome these challenges. Join Richard Harbridge, a Microsoft MVP and internationally recognized expert on Microsoft 365 and the Digital Workplace, as he shares insight on how to better plan, design, personalize, configure, integrate, and enhance navigation for your Intranet and Digital Workplace. In the end, there will be a Q&A session.
Richard Harbridge is the Chief Technology Officer and owner of 2toLead and a Microsoft MVP. Richard works as a trusted advisor with hundreds of organizations, helping them understand their current needs, future needs, and what actions they should take to grow and achieve their bold ambitions.
Do you use, or plan to use in the next budget year, an open-source project or product as an alternative to commercial software?

Many developers have blinders when considering their technologies. We tend to fade out the sometimes hard-to-learn skills and hurdles in dealing with the system, and sometimes look contemptuously at other technologies that repeat the same mistakes that our community has already made.
We rant about the hurdles we have with our own system, but forgets about the many smart elements that comes for free.
This presentation is meant to be a self-critical analysis of our "Plone" system and the community behind it, and to provide a discussion stimulus for the future of Plone.

What To Do In A Post Reach World (Attracting An Audience In A Competitive Fie...FeverBee Limited
Understand the evolution of the community manager - from managing and building communities to CRM specialist and paid social strategist. The main responsibilities of a community manager over the past 3-4 years have focused greatly on finding best strategies to build communities and plan content that would both entertain the existing community (engagement) and drive additional users to the brand's community. However, as both the users behaviour on social platforms has gradually changed, and the organic distribution algorithms for most social platforms, the skills and thinking required for a community manager have greatly evolved to encourage proactive engagement outside the brand community and the use of a much more hyper-targeted approach to communications.

Building International Communities - Ed GiansanteFeverBee Limited
Companies have a global reach and with the power of internet and using social media, it's possible to engage with them any where in the world. But how can we do that effectively? Can we build communities locally? Is it worth it? What are important factors that will help it being successful and risks associated with it? Dropbox has over 400 million users around the world and with such large scale it may seem impossible to engage with users individually. In this talk, Ed will present some of the ways in which his team is working to not only engage users locally but also delight them.
You Can't Build A Passionate Community If No-One Can Find You - Dominic WoodmanFeverBee Limited
You can have an incredible community, with passionate fans and clever gamification that keep people coming back again and again, but that's not going to matter if people can't find it. Users create all kinds of content, often deep and specific content that’s difficult for marketer or community manager to create, but it's rarely well optimized for being found outside of the community. We’ll look at how you can get better at this, the kinds of processes you should have, the kinds of enhancements should you be making to your CMS and how you can make the most of the small amount of time you have
Legal Issues For Online Communities - David DeakinFeverBee Limited
Hosting an online community raises numerous legal and regulatory challenges. Are you, as the community host, legally responsible for content submitted or shared by your members? This content may infringe other people’s intellectual property rights; might be defamatory; or could amount to some form of criminal activity. But do you know your responsibilities in relation to these types of content and activity, and how do you ensure you protect yourself by taking advantage of the legal defences available to avoid liability? And what about Data Privacy? European Data Protection Laws are changing dramatically over the next 2 years. Collection and exploitation of personal data may be a significant asset and driver for establishing our community. And in any event trust, privacy by design and regulatory compliance should be at the heart of your strategy. These issues, along with key Marketing Regulations and understanding your relationship with and responsibilities to third parties - such as Facebook and YouTube, or your hosting provider, will be summarised.

How to read your members’ minds - Stephanie BeadellFeverBee Limited
We often assign our community members to categories and make personas based on our own assumptions, but its much better to let them speak for themselves. Learn how to ask better survey questions to get better data and make better decisions about your community. Stephanie will provide actionable advice on how to write meaningful, unbiased survey questions and will share tips for analyzing your data.
Go beyond the basics to learn how to write survey questions that get the data you need. We'll cover question format, accounting for bias, and framing. We'll also discuss how to break down complex concepts into more digestible survey questions.
You'll also learn what to do after your survey is complete. Stephanie will break down data analysis techniques, including correlation, regression, and crosstabs. You'll leave the session ready to mine your community for fresh insights and maybe even ready to review old surveys for new data.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
Listen to the keynote address and hear about the latest developments from Rachana Ananthakrishnan and Ian Foster who review the updates to the Globus Platform and Service, and the relevance of Globus to the scientific community as an automation platform to accelerate scientific discovery.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

Why React Native as a Strategic Advantage for Startup Innovation.pdfayushiqss
Do you know that React Native is being increasingly adopted by startups as well as big companies in the mobile app development industry? Big names like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest have already integrated this robust open-source framework.
In fact, according to a report by Statista, the number of React Native developers has been steadily increasing over the years, reaching an estimated 1.9 million by the end of 2024. This means that the demand for this framework in the job market has been growing making it a valuable skill.
But what makes React Native so popular for mobile application development? It offers excellent cross-platform capabilities among other benefits. This way, with React Native, developers can write code once and run it on both iOS and Android devices thus saving time and resources leading to shorter development cycles hence faster time-to-market for your app.
Let’s take the example of a startup, which wanted to release their app on both iOS and Android at once. Through the use of React Native they managed to create an app and bring it into the market within a very short period. This helped them gain an advantage over their competitors because they had access to a large user base who were able to generate revenue quickly for them.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

comprised of 99 communities. These break down to 500 sub-spaces
for each community.
IDEAS
Members can submit ideas by UserVoice and community ideas via
TechCommunity.
EVENTS
Members can learn about and directly register for events on 3rd-party
platforms.
BLOG Employees can share product and community updates
OTHER Social media, GitHub, and other related sites.

The Microsoft Tech Community
comprises of 70 distinct product and
service categories and 16 ‘solution’
based communities (and seemingly a
handful of private communities)
BREAKDOWN OF MICROSOFT’S ONLINE COMMUNITYSTRUCTURE

Microsoft’s community
appears to be at the peak of
the maturity phase of the
community lifecycle
BREAKDOWN OF MICROSOFT’S ONLINE COMMUNITYLIFECYCLE
10. 10
The community seems to be competing with other
highly popular legacy communities for the same
members.
Ideally, TechNet/MSDN/Uservoice would be migrated
into this new community. However, the huge popularity
of these older communities suggest this would be
difficult to do.
We can also see the number of conversations far exceeds
posts. If this data is accurate (big if), the community has a
problem ensuring most posts receive a response.
However, the sheer level of activity across 99
communities also suggests strong internal support and
staff engagement.
STRUGGLING TO HANDLE RAPID GROWTH
SUMMARY
BREAKDOWN OF MICROSOFT’S ONLINE COMMUNITYOVERVIEW
12. 12
In a community of this size, the
search box should be clear and
in the centre of the screen.
Most people want answers.
Pretty good way to show both the
latest blog posts alongside
community activity above this
fold line.
I’m skeptical member of the
week really adds anything to
the community. Is this the
most active? Best
contributions? etc.. ?
Needs a much clearer
registration and sign in
link here
Would recommend reducing
the height of the boxes by half
and removing ‘Microsoft
Build’. Doesn’t appear to be a
critical part of the community
The community clearly
articulates its purpose, has
a get started area for
newcomers and then an
unnecessary ‘learn more’
area)
In-line answers take up a
lot of space and make it
harder for people to
quickly scroll. Far too
much wasted space
here.
Showing latest activity
above the fold is great. But
high volume means many
visitors only see discussions
with no user metrics. Might
remove these.
13. 13
Without the expanded
snippets of conversations
here (and first replies), it
would be possible to
squeeze a lot more
discussions onto the
homepage for members to
see.
Any value of infinite scroll
here? The site feels sluggish/
slow.
Wouldn’t put ‘users online’
above popular labels. Might
consider moving popular
labels to the top of the
page in place of the three
top boxes to make it easier
for members to browse.
14. 14
Moving the search to the top of the
page is a really smart move on
mobile.
Would remove the banner and
replace it with a single registration/
sign-in box.
BREAKDOWN OF MICROSOFT’S ONLINE COMMUNITY
Would remove these huge boxes
which forces the majority of
members to scroll down to find
what they want.
Activity is pushed off the page
with a lot of tiny text which
isn’t likely to be useful to
mobile visitors. Would remove
this so the latest activity
appears above the fold.
15. 15
BREAKDOWN OF MICROSOFT’S ONLINE COMMUNITY
Search stays
constant at the
top of the page as
members scroll
down
Great display of blog posts.
Even better if you can
swipe to see the next post.
Could remove the image
for simplicity.
Showing expanded
content makes more
sense here. Would
use this screen as the
homepage for
mobile visitors.

The Microsoft Tech Community
uses Lithium’s default search
capability which enables
members to search for
information from posts, ideas,
blogs, and the tribal knowledge
base.
The results appear to be
prioritised by 1) Relevancy to
key terms 2) Accepted solution
3) Date and 4) Likes. This is a
good standard.
Community would benefit from a unified
search option which retrieved information
from the rest of the site alongside search
results. This ignores all existing documentation.
BREAKDOWN OF MICROSOFT’S ONLINE COMMUNITY
20. 20
The communities are very
difficult to find from the
core Microsoft site. Most
links to the community were
several clicks deep and
buried within more specific
product pages.
However, we believe the
number of new members is
too high for solely search
results and we thus suspect
referral traffic from other
Microsoft properties to
account for a significant
portion of visitors.
21. 21
ONBOARDING
Most of the 99 communities
can be found at the bottom
of individual product pages.
This is not ideal, but better
than not appearing on the
page at all.
BREAKDOWN OF MICROSOFT’S ONLINE COMMUNITY
22. 22
Like many brands which requires
extensive product documentation, the
community must compete with
documentation to appear highly in
search results. There is likely scope to
improve and prioritise how discussions
appear in search results to attract more
traffic and differentiate from product
information. We suspect the community
attracts the long-tail of search results
which documentation can’t easily cover.
ONBOARDING
23. 23
To join you need to give the
community access to your Microsoft
account. This is a little clumsy, but
probably understandable.
The Microsoft community uses single
sign on (you can also use your Skype
details).
BREAKDOWN OF MICROSOFT’S ONLINE COMMUNITY
24. 24
Microsoft does the right thing
here. When members joined
they are immediately asked to
highlight the areas which most
interest them. This ensures
members aren’t overwhelmed
with irrelevant information. This
lists the most popular
communities at the top.
This is the best place to set your
profile username. Asks for as
little information as possible.
Code of conduct is useful, but
might be better to have this as
it’s own page so people don’t
easily jump past it.
25. 25
This is a wasted opportunity to
set a specific action for
members to take after they join.
Member activity feed is populated
with relevant content based upon
the content members decided to
follow. This is ideal for
communities where members are
likely to use multiple products.
There is no further onboarding or automation
rules here to better engage newcomers within
the community. An email campaign or a clear
next step would be useful.
BREAKDOWN OF MICROSOFT’S ONLINE COMMUNITY
ONBOARDING
28. 28
At the core of engagement in
Microsoft communities is a Facebook
wall-like structure as opposed to a
typical forum community. Members
respond by entering their replies
directly in the box provided beneath
previous discussions. The benefit is it
makes participating easier for casual
browsers. The downside is it takes up
space and members might reply
without reading the entire topic.
Would remove the option to reply at
this level because of that.
Good activity stat
and follow option.
The search bar needs to
be moved to the banner.
It’s far too small here.
All three boxes here are
pretty much ideal and
relevant to the situation.
We really like this page
layout. It’s not
aesthetically pleasing,
but it functions
perfectly for a primarily
tech audience.
Really like seeing the
top-liked comments.
Given the ‘Facebook-wall’
style of posts, it might be
simpler to adopt the open
text box at the top of the
page for members who
want to ask a question.
29. 29
Clean interface and
functionality.
This responder is an MVP, but
this isn’t clear from this
response. Member status
should appear alongside their
responses here. This helps
members to validate the
expertise in the response.
Love seeing the related
conversations here. Very
useful.
Might benefit from replacing ‘like’
with ‘I have the question too’
30. 30
Love this display of the progress of
each idea. Easy to see where each
idea is leading towards, where
members can help, and what the
process looks like.
Sorting by idea status probably is the best
default given the ideas which appear here.
It’s not clear what ‘completed’
means. Does this mean the idea has
been implemented or something
else?
The idea section feels under-
utilised and hidden within the
community platform with a
minuscule number of ideas
compared with the incredible
volume of members in this
community.
This might be a better display
of ideas in the community
than sorting by status.
31. 31
Perhaps one reason the
default idea area is not
widely utilised is
communities also link to
their own feedback/
ideas area on Uservoice -
a completely different
platform.
Members can post ideas directly to Uservoice via a pop-up box which appears in the community. It’s strange to invest in
having the ideas section while still directly a large volume of traffic to a completely different engagement experience.
BREAKDOWN OF MICROSOFT’S ONLINE COMMUNITYFEEDBACK
32. 32
The Uservoice
community has a high
level of engagement,
Thousands of items of
feedback and new idea
updates. It’s strange to
split the community
across an additional
challenge.
Most links point back to the
Lithium-hosted community.
33. 33
This is one of 99 communities, but it
appears engaging enough to visit
frequently. It’s regularly updated.
Perhaps the only challenge is limited
visibility of the content on the
community homepage.
The Microsoft TechCommunity
excels in engaging staff members
to create a huge amount of
content for members. The number
of staff members who participate
in communities and the volume of
content they create suggests
widespread support for the
community internally.
All the contributions to the blog
current come from Microsoft
employees. It may be valuable to
enable trusted members to share
their best advice as well. This is
motivating and helps scale the
community. This may enable staff to
filter for quality instead of creating
all the contributions personally.
34. 34
TITLE TEXT
The Microsoft TechCommunity
provides an excellent place for
leaders of different groups to list
and promote their own events.
Good focus on the biggest
upcoming event.
A unique innovation is hosting a ‘speakers’
directory. This is a novel concept not seen in
most other communities which allows potential
experts and others to promote themselves.
This message is strangely
almost an exact replicate
of the one on the left
hand side. It’s an odd
oversight.
Showing the most popular
speakers is a powerful way to
attract and keep top talent in
the ecosystem.
The Microsoft Tech community
really does a great job
showcasing events by popularity.
35. 35
TITLE TEXT
Most events listed here are not
hosted by Microsoft but by
members of the community
(or the broader ecosystem.
Might be better to ensure
they’re well categorised on
each sub-community rather
than as their own page here.
36. 36
EVENTS
The event page on the
community only
serves as the front
door. These register
links typically take
members to Meetup /
Eventbrite registration
pages.
The community
becomes a platform for
all relevant groups to
publish and promote
their own event. Very
few communities have
achieved this.
This image doesn’t
really add anything to
the group and could
probably be removed.
Ideally, this page would show how many
members are attending. However, given the
registration process is not handled within the
community, this is difficult to accomplish.
BREAKDOWN OF MICROSOFT’S ONLINE COMMUNITY
37. 37
EVENTS
Providing anyone hosting an
event in the ecosystem with
an easy way to search for
speakers by product or
location is an idea which has
huge potential (but seems
under-utilised here)
BREAKDOWN OF MICROSOFT’S ONLINE COMMUNITY
40. 40
Microsoft has perhaps the most
successful and best supported
MVP program many company.
The MVP program has its
subdomain featured
prominently.
Microsoft has over 3000 MVPs.
However, it’s unclear how many
of these are active.
The search directly to find the
top experts by country/region is a
useful touch.
This is a five-day event for
MVPs at company
headquarters. Most MVP
programs have a single-
data event. It’s clearly a
big deal.
it’s always good to let
members nominate
people to become MVPs
BREAKDOWN OF MICROSOFT’S ONLINE COMMUNITY
41. 41
Each MVP has a distinct
bio. The bios are clear and
simple enough which
clearly list a member’s
expertise.
In global
communities
showing the
languages
members speak
is a useful
addition
42. 42
Two contribution areas is
interesting. This might be
unique to Microsoft.
This is where the community
really shines. It pulls in multiple
behaviours both inside and
outside of a forum-based
community into a single stream.
This shows exactly how each
member has helped the
community. This clearly shows
speaking at conferences, forum
participation, hosting user
groups, blog posts etc…
43. 43
Perhaps the most remarkable
aspect of the entire program is
there is no outlined reward
scheme. As shown in the copy,
it’s simply a way of ‘showing
thanks’ to members. This
demonstrates that MVPs don’t
need rewards, they need to feel
they have an impact, have some
asset of exclusive information,
and a sprinkle of status.
46. 46
BREAKDOWN OF MICROSOFT’S ONLINE COMMUNITY
The stats list is interesting.
Posts,, likes, and best
responses are standard on
Lithium. But we haven’t seen
subscriptions often before.
Color change suggests a high-
profile member.
Community seems to have a
relatively small number of
levels with unimaginative
names and confusing
hierarchy. These include visitor,
occasional visitor, frequent
visitor, contributor, trusted
contributor, respected
contributor, MVP, ‘Microsoft’
etc…
Is trusted better than
respected? Levels could be
greatly improved. Members
seem to get ‘stuck’ on the
highest level.
The community has fewer
achievements members can
earn that other
communities. It also tends to
mix important badges
(member of the week) with
unimportant badges (5
consecutive days visiting).
Good to see user levels appear
high up on the member profile
47. 47
Too many of these badges are
next to meaningless and fails
to distinguish really great
contributions the member
should aspire to from the rest.
48. 48
Each of the 99 communities
has a list of top contributors.
However these are buried too
far below the fold on the
homepage of each community
to be meaningful (or seen) to
and by most members.
BREAKDOWN OF MICROSOFT’S ONLINE COMMUNITY
49. 49
GAMIFICATION
Giving new ranks to members who haven’t made a
contribution (while claiming they have) is a bad idea and
devalues the entire system. Giving ranks by the number of
visits members have made is also a bad idea.
(and no-one wants emails from ‘Role Admin’)
A problem with many gamification notification
systems is they show up as spam in gmail.

The community has a consistently high level of engagement, benefits from a terrific MVP program, and has a design that
enables a community of this size and complexity to work. However it also suffers from poor gamification and onboarding
experiences - both of which should be improved.
• Develop a communications plan to ensure all IT pros and developers are focused on a single platform beginning with
TechNet and then the Microsoft Developer network.
• Use the ideation functionality provided by Lithium to replace that used by Uservoice.
• Improve the post-registration experience of community members to have a longer automation journey helping members
make world-class contributions to the community.
• Remove the worthless gamification badges and focus them on big achievements. Revamp levels to ensure they are more
of them and they have a clear hierarchy of value
• Develop a system to flag unanswered conversations and ensure a large group of members in each community are
dedicated and rewarded for tackling these.
