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.

Intranets With Office 365: What You Need To Know #INT103 #365EduCon 20211214Kanwal Khipple
There is a growing trend of organisations moving to “the cloud” to meet their intranet needs. While many organisations are running their Intranets “on premise”, many are considering entirely cloud-based solutions or running them on platforms like Office 365. What's more organizations are challenging the Intranet to be more of an interactive and engaging digital hub for their digital workplace than just a communication centric portal.
The top two questions for many companies is “should our intranet be built with Office 365?” and "how should we best leverage it with Office 365?"
In this session we will explore:
• The benefits Office 365 brings to an intranet...
• Where the issues and challenges will lie...
• When and how you may integrate Office 365 with your existing intranet and digital workplace today.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Don’t miss this opportunity to elevate your FME expertise and drive your projects to new heights of efficiency.
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.

While this is a powerful new capability that works great for many smaller orgs,
but for governance and navigation you may need and want more structure.
24. CONTENT OVER TIME…
The modern digital workplace and Intranet has a continually increasing number
of digital spaces or ‘sites’ where content is stored and shared.
25. SITE STRUCTURE MODEL(S)

33. DYNAMIC NAVIGATION…
Office 365’s SharePoint home is now a more modern site directory experience. New features like
activity roll ups, and quick follow/share options are the start.
34. MODERN NAVIGATION…
Navigation has more out of the box for connecting sites. By leveraging the hub navigation we
can now have a consistent navigation across site collections.
Simple OOTB Hub Nav
35. DESIGN BETTER NAVIGATION…
Navigation doesn’t need to be limited to top level links, or simple UI layouts. Here we have two
examples of content in the nav, and richer/deeper nav.
Consider bringing targeted
documents and content to the
user inside the navigation
experience.
Requires Customization
◔
36. SEARCH BASED NAVIGATION…
While structured and managed navigation is still valid in today’s world it is also important to
improve navigation with powerful capabilities like search.
Bring the power of SharePoint
Home and that dynamic
personalized navigation into the
global/top nav experience.
Requires Customization

48. SEARCH IS IMPROVING…
Relevancy has historically been based on general criteria like the date or how popular an
item is. How well results match compared to the rest of the index.
49. MODERN SEARCH IS IMPROVING
Today we still use classic search for refinement/taxonomy driven search. Soon we can get the power of
modern search and still leverage our own taxonomy to enhance the search experience further.
Requires Advanced Configuration
◕
50. SEARCH BEYOND DOCUMENTS…
Search is about more than just documents. Capture whiteboards, business cards, maps,
screenshots, receipts, x-ray images, and more and watch it index.
51. SEARCH CAN BE NATURAL…
Coming soon the questions users ask can be used directly and search will deliver the answer
naturally to users.
52. SEARCH CAN BE EASIER…
We can personalize, tailor and improve search by embedding it in the experience and use
predictive search – type and see immediate preview results in context.
Requires Minor Customization
◑
53. ENSURE PROFILES ARE UP TO DATE
Instead of custom profiles we now have rich profiles where new functionality is continually
added. About more than just the user details.
54. LEARN ABOUT USERS FROM EVERYWHERE
Profiles are embedded in more places. Instead of just a contact they now surface activity of that
user (recent documents today, more in the Soon).
55. EXPAND YOUR NETWORK
Don’t forget that there are more improvements coming from strategic investments like
Microsoft’s in LinkedIn that can improve the expertise story.
56. SEARCH WILL WORK WHERE WE ARE…
Familiar, fast, rich experience for users accustomed to using their Windows or Office clients to find
what they are looking for.

Editor's Notes
There is a growing trend of organisations moving to “the cloud” to meet their intranet needs. While many organisations are running their Intranets “on premise”, many are considering entirely cloud-based solutions or running them on platforms like Office 365. What's more organizations are challenging the Intranet to be more of an interactive and engaging digital hub for their digital workplace than just a communication centric portal.
The top two questions for many companies is “should our intranet be built with Office 365?” and "how should we best leverage it with Office 365?"
In this session we will explore:
• The benefits Office 365 brings to an intranet...
• Where the issues and challenges will lie...
• When and how you may integrate Office 365 with your existing intranet and digital workplace today...
