There is a growing trend of organizations moving to “the cloud” to meet their intranet needs. While many organizations are running their Intranets “on-premise,” many are considering entirely cloud-based solutions or running them on platforms like Office 365.
The question for many companies is not “should our intranet be built with Office 365?” but “how should we integrate or build our Intranets with Office 365”. This is even more true today with the emergence of new modern Intranet capabilities and continued innovation from Microsoft that must be reconciled with enterprise Intranet/Digital Workplace needs.
In this session Richard Harbridge will explore:
• The benefits Office 365 brings to an intranet...
• Where the issues and challenges will lie...
• Practical guidance on when and how you may integrate Office 365 with your existing intranet today...
Strategy & Success: Practical Tools & Techniques For The Strategist, Architec...Richard Harbridge
People are complex. Office 365 is complex. Add the two together and you get some of the most challenging, difficult, and stressful situations, especially if you are responsible for facilitating shared understanding between them.
Join Richard Harbridge to learn about actionable techniques to improve, simplify and amplify your leadership, business analysis and information architecture efforts with Office 365. Walk away with improved confidence when dealing with business and non-technical related challenges of Office 365, and be familiarized with effective tools and techniques that make Office 365 implementations more successful.
Personalizing & Improving Office 365 & Your Digital WorkplaceRichard Harbridge
There are a great number of features and capabilities within Office 365 that enable users to have more personalized experiences. What’s more there are many organizations that build on the incredible capabilities of personalized services such as flow, the graph and more to further improve personal experiences.
Join Richard Harbridge as he shares real world examples of Office 365 that enable rich personalization including those that are OOTB, require some configuration, or are opportunities for further development and investment.
Office 365 provides an incredible amount of value to individual employees, teams, departments, and organizations. Much of this value is not realized immediately upon purchase or deployment of Office 365. The value is realized as more and more users understand, adopt and embrace the technology.
So how do we drive faster, sustainable and effective adoption? And perhaps more importantly, how do we ensure our adoption approach scales and can keep up with the innovation the Office 365 service provides?
Join Richard Harbridge as he shares real world experience, advice and activities that other customers are leveraging to get more from Office 365 and drive more meaningful adoption.

Office 365 provides an incredible amount of value to individual employees, teams, departments, and organizations. Much of this value is not realized immediately upon purchase or deployment of Office 365. The value is realized as more and more users understand, adopt, and embrace the technology.
So how do we drive faster, sustainable and effective adoption? Perhaps more importantly, how do we ensure our adoption approach scales and can keep up with the innovation the Office 365 service provides?
Join Richard Harbridge as he shares real-world experience, advice, and activities that other customers are leveraging to get more from Office 365 and drive more meaningful adoption.
Your users may struggle with these questions:
Should I share via Microsoft Yammer, Microsoft Office 365 Groups, or Microsoft OneDrive?
Should I share a file in Outlook, in a meeting, from OneDrive for Business, on Yammer, in a Group, or in a SharePoint site?
What happens when your users can’t decide what technology or feature to use? They use what they know, or what’s easy; even if better options exist.
In this session, join Richard Harbridge as he helps you maximise the value of your Office 365 investment by providing the guidance you need to help your users make better, more effective decisions on how they get work done.

Metaverse & The Employee Experience: What You Need To KnowRichard Harbridge
Back in the day we would use 'who installed a browser' that wasn't the default as an 'indirect signal' that denoted a level of individual interest in improving their digital productivity or experience. Nowadays we are swimming in indirect signals - from who organizes the most meetings (named if you use Audit log etc) to dynamics around networking (Viva Insights) to who uses Teams Apps (another great indirect signal of expanding productivity/investing in digital experiences).
What still works best though is direct signals like comments, nominations, champion programs (yearly and NON MANAGER & NON IT focused) and more that help identify people and map them/amplify their visibility as potential super collaborators, those with high amounts of digital debt and those who would better benefit from greater digital fitness or digital experience investments.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.
