Viva Topics uses AI to reason over content across teams and systems, recognizing content types, extracting important information, and automatically organizing content into shared topics like projects, products, processes and customers. SharePoint Syntex then creates a knowledge network based on relationships among topics, content, and people.
Attend this session to learn more about how Viva Topics, topic pages and how knowledge center can transform knowledge in your organization.
Viva Topics brings advanced content services solutions into your existing Microsoft 365 environment. If you are struggling with content or knowledge management, deploying Viva Topics could help your employee's experience for finding content and people.
In this session we will go through what Viva Topics is, how it works, and how to effectively deploy it in your organization.
Connections is a company branded employee app in Teams. It is a gateway to your employee experience, with personalized news, communications, tasks, people and resources. It provides a single curated employee destination that can be configured for specific roles like frontline workers. So, leaders can communicate and engage their employees, and employees can get easy access to the tools and resources they need from one place.. Connections builds on existing capabilities in Microsoft 365 like SharePoint and Yammer. And it pulls your communications together into a pre-configured app in Teams, designed for both desktop and mobile workers. It also acts as a launching pad to the other 3 Viva modules
Insights brings together Workplace Analytics, MyAnalytics and Glint into a unified insights app in Teams to provide data-driven and privacy-protected insights for individuals, managers and leaders. For example, employees get personalized insights, only they can see, that help them protect their time for breaks, focused work, and learning in order to promote improved productivity and wellbeing.
Topics focuses on knowledge and expertise. Topics applies AI to identify knowledge and experts and organize them into shared topics. AI automatically creates a topic page for each topic. It’s like Wikipedia for the enterprise where AI does the first draft. And these topic pages are surfaced as Topic Cards right in the flow of work in Office and Teams.
Finally, Learning allows employees to easily discover informal and formal learning in the flow of work. It aggregates content from LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft Learn and 3rd party training content and your own organizations content – all in one place. Along with providing aggregation and recommendations, it also allows managers to assign and track training, as well as report on training within and across teams.
Microsoft Viva. Viva is an employee experience platform that empowers people and teams to be their best, from anywhere.
Viva brings together communications, insights, knowledge, and learning within the flow of everyday work and collaboration, in Microsoft Teams.
Microsoft Teams is where most remote and hybrid work happens these days. And, Teams has become a hub where we can bring all these resources together into an integrated system of engagement – what Gartner calls a new work nucleus or digital workplace hub.
Importantly, with Microsoft 365 we already have foundational capabilities in each of these areas like Yammer, SharePoint, Stream, Workplace Analytics, Microsoft Search, LinkedIn, Glint and more.
Microsoft Viva builds on this foundation by adding innovative new services and insights focused on people development and success.

Audience: Marketing, Communications, HR IT, IT Managers, Directors, Microsoft 365 Admins, and Teams Administrators Level: 100 & 200 : Introduction and Assumes Basic Microsoft Teams Experience
It's always been a dilemma -- do you invest in servers, licenses and people to set up and maintain a fully controllable SharePoint infrastructure in-house, or is it time to explore hosting SharePoint off-premise? Legal IT professionals have been struggling with this decision for years.
The on-premise option offers peace of mind from a security and controllability standpoint, but comes saddled with high costs, a demand for resources and limited scalability. SharePoint Online, on the other hand, alleviates the burden associated with SharePoint on-premise by removing the need for servers, software licenses and personnel, and can be rolled out to a large pool of people virtually overnight. However, you'll still need support for integration projects. Join us as we discuss the pros and cons of each option and give you recommendations based on our experiences, deployments and feedback.

Social Meida For Project Success - PMI Australia Conference 2013 PresentationAnfernee Chansamooth
With social media continuing to gain traction in the world of business it is an easy bet to say it’s here to stay for a while. The ability of a project manager to successfully deliver a project is directly proportional to their ability to effectively communicate with stakeholders. Social media presents an opportunity for improving that communication.
Social media has already become integrated with Project Management and is more widely adopted by project managers than some may think. This presentation highlights WHY project managers need to take social tools seriously and HOW they can successfully leverage these applications in their organisations. http://www.kaboomhub.com

From eLearning courses to microlearning resourcesJames Stack
This presentation, produced by Obvious Choice, explores how to enable a microlearning content strategy. Seven topics unpack the case for microlearning as a way to educate the modern learner. Topics one and two explore what to consider before convincing stakeholders and the business to adopt microlearning. Automated content distribution, spaced quizzing and drip feed delivery techniques are proposed alternatives to traditional eLearning courses. Nudging and recommendation engines are proposed as methods to drive ongoing engagement.
The growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is leading to transformation in our workplaces. Professor Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum is calling this change The Fourth Industrial Revolution. There are mixed predictions about AI and automation: some people see a reduction in the need for some jobs while predicting an increase in others. There is no doubt AI is changing the nature of work and learning.
In this presentation you’ll get an insider’s view into--
- Some of the jargon behind the technologies e.g. what data scientists mean when they talk about ‘training a model’
- How AI is being used in L&D today to gain insights and automate learning
- Why you should be looking to use chatbots in your learning programs
- How to get started with recommendation engines
- What the issues and challenges are using AI in learning.
- Even if you aren’t a technical person you will get an understanding of leading edge technologies by attending this webinar.
Microsoft Teams is the fastest-growing product in Microsoft history, providing a powerful platform for collaboration and communication.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Amidst major transformations in the ways we work already underway, we are seeing a number of factors that have been
created or exacerbated by the global pandemic
1. As we emerge from the pandemic organizations are hiring, often in large numbers
We are facing an influx of new workers who need to harness existing knowledge and expertise to be productive.
2. Organizations are moving towards hybrid and remote work is the new normal
Digital tools are even more important than before
3. Organizations are struggling with increased employee turnover, and this is projected to worsen
We are losing knowledge and expertise and it’s increasingly important to retain this knowledge and expertise.
4. Information is getting created at an ever-increasing rate
Users are bombarded with information and have become overloaded and overwhelmed, it’s increasingly challenge to manage the cognitive load of “context-switching”
5. Users are increasingly expecting us to deliver modern, user-centric experiences they are familiar with
Digital tools need to be increasingly sophisticated

We are very inconsistent on how we share and organize materials. Authors tend to just post

Finding the right information quickly; there have been several groups
over time that have organized our knowledge systems all a little
differently without good integration with what was already there; it
reminds me of spaghetti code.
