they connect to Teams, StaffHub, SharePoint, and Yammer.

to allowing users to create their own, managing how they get
created in the first place, and trying to control the chaos that
Groups can bring.

implement Office 365 Groups in your organisation – ensuring

Editor's Notes

  • #4 No PowerShell, no admin functions
  • #5 Local council – wants to change. Challenges of mergers and rate capping. Wants to be innovative. Leadership talk about it, but doesn’t push it. Some management and staff want it but others are resistant. Multi-national insurance firm – invests two hundred million dollars in a transformation program around its line of business applications and front end experience, has licensed Office 365 but doesn’t use a single component – not even email. IT company – lives and breaths technology, implements O365, still stuck in old ways because they are techs at heart and doesn’t care for things like Yammer, Teams, or even SharePoint
  • #9 Office 365 has the power to be transformational to any organisation Gardener example
  • #12 File Manager in Windows 3.1 – 1992 to current Outlook 97 – 1996 to current
  • #13 Users confused – investment in Sonos First experience – what’s the point Bottom up – daughter can now interact with it, leading to…
  • #17 Different ways to cut things using the same tool: has at least 4-5 sharp elements Each have their own special purposes Same with O365 – many different ways to do the same things
  • #21 People can provision themselves – don’t need IT involvement Simple to use – users can DIY, all the pieces are included
  • #22 More services than required Duplication by different apps
  • #23 Several different was to do the same thing No one right way Different per organisation, per department, per team, per user
  • #25 It’s not just about moving to the cloud
  • #26 You don’t become a property owner overnight. Start with money Purchase property Learn lessons Buy houses, upgrade houses to hotels
  • #27 IT speaks a different language than users Product names mean nothing to them
  • #28 What users hear
  • #29 It’s not a race, there is no endpoint – only outcomes and benefits Go at a pace that people are comfortable with
  • #30 Otherwise you will lose your marbles, content will be everywhere
  • #33 Use a combination of external consultants and internal resources Engage with the business at every level Give energy to the champions, but also to the laggards
