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.

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.

Editor's Notes
In your organization has anyone ever suggested that you only use a percentage of the functionality or a percentage of what’s possible with Microsoft Office 365? How about just one technology like Outlook? Do you think you or your users are using most of the functionality that exists in Outlook today? What about SharePoint? Do you use more than 50% of what’s available in SharePoint? Are they using it at all?
Its okay if the answer is no, we don’t use all that Office 365 can provide. No, not all of our users are actively using Office 365 yet. No, not only do I not know all of the things you can do with Outlook or SharePoint but our users definitely aren’t aware of what they could do.
What’s not okay is to do nothing about it. To not have a plan for helping your users adopt, understand and leverage the full suite of Office 365 available to them. You should do something about it. That’s why white papers like this exist. To help you and your organization improve.
Not all of the features and functions in Office 365 are meant for daily and frequent use, but we bet you can think of some that would make a world of difference if your whole organization adopted their use. How much more value could your organization realize if users universally used 20% more of the robust document management features SharePoint provides?
Getting more people to use a technology is important. But so is and getting them to use more of the technology.
There is always SOME loss of productivity when implementing new productivity systems that provide new ways for people work. This is ALWAYS the case. It also makes sense when you think about it at an individual user level, at a group level or even at an organizational level.
When you introduce new systems you need time to recap the original level of productivity you had before you introduced the change. Then there is a continued productivity gain until the technology’s potential has been exhausted or the organization introduces new change. There is plentiful research on this subject as it’s often called the change curve. Where users go through different states. The goal is to accelerate the change and get to the positive impact and outcomes quicker and to reduce negative consequences that the change can have.
Behavioral change doesn’t happen on its own.
We’ve seen the traditiontal ‘if we build, they will come.’
Doctors told heart patients that they will absolutely die in 6 months if they don’t change their habits around lifestyle, diet, and exercise. Those individuals certainly had the motivation, and a sense of urgency. They even had the tools and the vision as well as an understanding of the end state. Yet in this situation only 1 in 7 or 14% could manage to carry out the change on their own. Desire and motivation aren’t enough on their own: even when it’s literally a matter of life or death, the ability to change remains maddeningly elusive.
Think about that. If 1 in 7 people with an absolute need to change can’t change, what chance do we have of individuals in our organizations changing how they collaborate or communicate on their own? What are the odds of them adopting Office 365 and new ways of working without our help? The answer? Very low odds indeed.

User subscription based licensing: If our customers’ users aren’t using Office 365… why would they continue paying for it?
Smarter based on usage: The more people use the platform the more value the technology provides (Delve example). It also helps us build better experiences and target enhancements (in organizations and in Microsoft).
Other customers and partners have tons of experiences they are willing to share.
Congratulating employees for their years of service in an extremely public and sharable way on the portal can really help improve employee engagement and provides one more reason to come to the portal/intranet.
To make the portal/Intranet more engaging and personal you can add these announcements for the company to share, comment, and congratulate.
Many organizations have discounts through the relationships they have with various vendors and institutions. Highlighting and sharing these in an accessible way on the portal/intranet can bolster adoption.
After a significant organizational event it can be useful to share photos of the event. This leads to many people (typically those who attended the event, or know other employees who attended) reviewing and interacting with the photo content.
If key people add their internal profile link to their yammer profile or an intranet link to their email signature (when emailing internal people) it can help encourage people to visit and view each other’s profiles, or shared content.
To make the portal feel more engaging you can cycle famous quotes keeping content fresh, adding to motivation, and providing one more reason for employees to visit the portal/intranet.
One of the common difficulties users have when interacting in a global company is determining what time it is in other offices. Rather than them navigating/exploring Lync contact cards or needing to ask which time zone Office XYZ is in, by using a third party component or free options you can easily create world clocks on your portal giving users one more reason to visit.
Based on a measurement (such as the number of yammer profiles completed or for users sharing at least one document etc.) provide a dollar or a set amount in donations to a Charity. Division, department or team with the highest rate of completion may even earn the ability to select the targeted charity that would benefit.
Not only running surveys, but also announcing/sharing when survey responses are acted on or used to assist a major decision.
Notice I said leaders – not necessarily site owners etc – this is important. You want the leaders of a site/initiative to know how frequently it’s being used, by what departments/users etc.
This stance can make many companies uncomfortable, but doesn’t normally escalate to anything more than a closed door conversation or two. You may ask yourself, “Why is it so important to get everyone on board?” There are quite a few reasons…

Not only introducing the Intranet, but also introducing how to fill out the user profile, or interact with content in various sites.
By adding into the annual training or skills validation process you are showing leadership support and authority around the importance of the new technology or system.
Providing regular improvements means there is always something new to try or new uses to share and spark/cultivate curiosity. Even announcing major and minor releases can add a sense of continued investment in the platform from the business.
By adding a button or option to allow users to submit success stories (related to the portal/intranet) it can lead to many people initiating the submission or sharing of success messages (which shows the value, and helps provide real personal stories of how it helps).
As your coworkers use Yammer, ask them to think about ways that Yammer has helped them. Then, encourage them to describe their experience and post their stories to the company network with the hashtag #YamWin. Afterwards, find the best YamWins and post them to the Yammer Help Group as examples to inspire your entire company.
Yammer Ideas Group. Create another group, called the Yammer Ideas Group. Use this group to brainstorm ways that your company can use Yammer to improve how work gets done. Ask your coworkers to share their ideas in the group. Then, test out the ideas to see how they do. Showcase examples of success. Brainstorm ways to improve ideas that need more work.
YamJam. Engage one or more executives or department heads to participate in 30-60 minute, live discussions using Yammer. Discussion topics will be predefined and a Yammer community manager will help facilitate and moderate.
As your organization matures and begins to engage with external communities or builds and fosters its own internal communities it can be useful to promote these and highlight them with other employees. This can lead to more adoption of both the community and the portal as a hub for many of these formal and informal community activities.
When new solutions are developed by IT or the business that leverage SharePoint it can be extremely useful to showcase the solution. Who owns it, what its purpose is, what benefit it has provided (ROI would be great), screen shots, and more. This often leads to two useful things:
Users engage with one another (the owner of the solution is often a business person) which decreases cost of ownership for IT and expedites the requirements gathering process (when the business user says I want ‘that’).
It encourages those who have adopted or are using the platform to share their successes, be proud of them, and to have them articulated in a consistent way.
Often within organizations there is business value in organization units such as divisions in a manufacturing company trading and buying equipment from one another. Of course there are many other uses for this application. Since it revolves around a social notice for buying or selling often it goes beyond the sale of physical assets and can even be used for sharing babysitters, neighborhood restaurants, or any other networking information that could be useful for employees.
Every organization has Acronyms that not every employee understands or knows. Create an Acronym Wiki or Acronym Finder that purposefully provides users with both the acronym explanation as well as relevant documents, teams, contacts, and more within the company.
There are lots of organizations that have sophisticated solutions for time tracking. This isn’t for them.
Often it can be daunting and troublesome learning a new system, process, or technology. By adding simple and easy to read Frequently Asked Questions you can remove some of the confusion and help reduce the amount of simple reactive question support you provide (to focus this energy on more pro-active and useful tasks). What’s more if you implement content types and consistently enable or encourage the creation of FAQs across various systems, processes, policies and teams in your organization you can create ‘FAQ collections’ or FAQ finders,
