A walkthrough of the business value of enterprise social collaboration, with specific focus on SharePoint, Office365, Yammer, and gamification tactics. Originally presented at Microsoft's NYC offices in May 2013.
A closer look at why social collaboration within the enterprise is more like eBay than Facebook, where its about purpose and function, not LOL Cats and pictures of what you ate for breakfast. This is a keynote presentation given at the 'SharePoint Success Stories' event in Cape Town SA in September 2013, followed by sessions at SPSCPT and SPSDBN.
Most enterprises are trying to understand -- and roll out -- social capabilities across the enterprise, but many are concerned about the lack of governance controls for social activities in SharePoint and Yammer. This presentation helps set the stage for what is available out of the box, and what organizations should be thinking about to better govern their social deployments.
How to boost SharePoint users adoption?
- Use Marketing for innovation and Fun instead of traditionnal training and e-learning
- Simplify as much as possible your collaborative project
In the 3rd of 3 joint webinars with Beezy and CardioLog Analytics, we discussed the basics of gamification, and how you can develop a "motivation hacking" strategy within SharePoint or Office 365 to help shape user behavior and improve adoption and engagement.

Exploring the SharePoint 2013 Community Site TemplateSusan Hanley
Presentation that reviews tips and tricks for using the SharePoint 2013 Community Site template to support online communities of practice and moderated discussion forums.
Key features to move Yammer users from casual to power users.

This session walks through 15 tips and tricks to help participants get the most out of the Yammer platform.

While Office365 continues to grow at a rapid rate, adoption beyond Exchange can be slow without a strategy in place. This presentation discusses: a "go to market" strategy for a successful Office 365 deployment; productivity features that will enhance adoption; strategies for keeping end users engaged; how to track usage and activity so you can measure your success; and touches on many of the productivity features (Groups, Delve, Yammer, co-editing, etc). The primary focus, however, is on the management/ongoing educational aspects of a successful deployment.

A successful collaboration strategy includes technology, process alignment, and the user experiences. However, organizations tend to focus the most on technology, and the least on people -- when the opposite should be true. As this presentation explains, culture is the key to any successful collaboration strategy.
Within the Office 365 ecosystem, what is the best method to have your message heard by the right audience? This presentation walks through the different options in the Microsoft arena, including SharePoint News and Communication Sites, Yammer, Teams, and more.

The Nuts and Bolts of Measuring SharePoint ActivityChristian Buckley
To determine whether something has been successful, organizations must create a baseline of activity, monitor and measure over time, and then compare the results to the baseline. One of the leading conflicts between business users and IT happens when there is not accurate data around what is actually happening within the system. Thus, measuring the success of SharePoint should begin with SMART goals: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound.
Slides from a joint webinar with Christian Buckley, Microsoft MVP and CMO of Beezy, and Tal Ben-David from CardioLog Analytics. The intent of this session is to help organizations to learn more about what can be achieved out-of-the-box and through the partner ecosystem to get SharePoint measurements back on track, with a comparison between out-of-the-box SharePoint analytics usage to help attendees understand the direction Microsoft is headed in, as well as an in-depth demonstration of advanced analytics that you can use today to achieve SMART goals.

Drive Better SharePoint 2013 Mobile Solutions with Responsive DesignPerficient, Inc.
With the explosion of smartphones and tablets in a post-PC landscape, the importance of mobility is evident. Mobile devices can differ tremendously, from screen size to functionality and usability, making it impossible to optimize a website for a single device. Given the mobile shift, companies are looking to develop and execute on strategies that provide a first-class experience for all devices.
How can SharePoint help? SharePoint is a powerful web content management platform – and it’s even better with the 2013 release. During the webinar, we demonstrated what can be accomplished using SharePoint 2013 and responsive web design. We also examined:
- What is responsive web design?
- SharePoint 2013’s WCM features
- Responsive web design & SharePoint
- Responsive SharePoint website examples
SharePoint migrations rarely turn out as you plan them. They are sometimes risky and too often take longer than planned. Over the last 10 years of migrating from SharePoint 2003, 2007, 2010 to the latest versions of SharePoint/Office 365 we’ve seen a consistent theme -- organizations underestimate the complexity and level of effort required for a successful, smooth migration.
Whether you are planning to complete your own migration, or engaging a vendor to assist, this webinar will discuss precautions you can take to avoid the slippery slope experienced in SharePoint migrations.
Join Jill Hannemann, Adam Levithan and our special guest Ryan Tully from Metalogix as they:

For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.

At the Microsoft Worldwide
Partner Conference (WPC) in
Toronto in July 2012, Kurt
DelBene, President of the
Microsoft Office Division
announced that Office 365,
including SharePoint Online, is
growing at over 8x their
predictions, and is likely to
eclipse SharePoint as the fastest
growing Microsoft offer ever.
16. n the cloud
During his keynote presentation
at SPTechCon in February 2012,
Jared Spataro, Director of
SharePoint at Microsoft,
announced that SharePoint 2013
was being developed using a
“Cloud First” strategy, and that
Office 365 customers could
expect to have access to the
benefits of the new release
sooner than on-premises
deployments.

18. As SharePoint continues to expand its footprint,
companies are demanding flexible architectures to help
them better meet internal and external collaboration
needs
• Reducing costs
• Reducing headcount
• Doing more with less
• Focusing less on traditional IT activities and more on
activities that will help drive the business forward
20. An Avanade global study of enterprise social
collaboration trends, analyzing the habits of 4,000
users and 1,000 IT and business decision-makers
in 22 countries, found that
• Facebook is twice as popular as
SharePoint – 73% to 39%
• Facebook is also four times more
popular that IBM Open connections
(17%) and six times more popular than
Salesforce’s Chatter (12%)
http://ubm.io/17WDTQs
21. Of course…
• Although Facebook is used by 74% of
organizations surveyed, organizations put
SharePoint and Chatter (tied at 23%) at the top of
their list of deployments
for the coming year
• When asked about priorities, Facebook fell to the
end of the list
http://ubm.io/17WDTQs
22. According to the Avanade study:
• Social technologies make their jobs more enjoyable
(66%)
• And more productive (62%)
• And help them get work done faster (57%)
• Of the businesses using social collaboration tools,
82% want to use them more in the future

23. Many business leaders have a false sense of
accomplishment in social collaboration
Consumer-driven technologies lack enterprise capabilities

• enterprise search
• integration with communications systems

Social
When more people participate
• Improves collaboration
• Improves individual motivation
• Speeds up learning process
• Improves system/content analytics
• Drives brand awareness

first round of comments – engage the most passionate
people out there.
39. AOL took a conjoint approach to understand the DNA of comments
within their sites. They looked at:
• fact based comments
• clarity of thought
• original article criticism
• name (full name, nicknames, anonymous)
• icon (author picture, avatar)
• adherence to party lines
• grammar
AOL’s analysis showed what people cared about:
• style -- 7% (not very important)
• individual substance - 14% mildly important
• community involvement -- 19% somewhat important
• personal identity --- 19% somewhat important
• relationship to content - 42% very important
