The pace of business is accelerating. Disruptive change can be a barrier in the road ahead, or it can be a bumpy reminder of the importance of innovating and evolving the way your organization leverages technology. SharePoint is a constantly evolving platform that is used to share, organize, discover, build and manage business value. SharePoint 2016 is coming, new features and capabilities in Office 365 are being released to meet increased demand from organizations around the world, and we have more options and ways we can implement today than we have ever had in the past. With so much change it’s important to understand how your own organization can better leverage SharePoint in improved ways to maximize the value it provides. Come hear about the challenges organizations are facing today, how the legal industry is using SharePoint, and how we can break through barriers to drive more meaningful results.
New technologies are changing the way people work with each other, their organization’s partners, and their customers.

Organizations and employees need to understand, adopt, and use these new technologies that are powered by the cloud or risk being outpaced by new competitors and changes in the marketplace.

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.

Focusing on the employee experience can feel like a daunting task when reviewing the many different stages of an employee’s journey, but we know understanding and improving these stages can lead to a much more positive employee experience, and maximize the retention, impact, engagement, and performance of the employee.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.

There are lots of companies and employees that think that flexible working is already here. And in some cases this is true. In many cases, however, all people hear is “working from home”. While this is obviously a key component of what flexible working offers, this simplistic understanding actually misses the point and belittles the true potential of an authentically flexible approach.
At its core, genuine flexible working just means being thoughtful about the tasks you have to achieve each day and choosing the most appropriate location from which to accomplish them. This is where the transformation happens, where work no longer is defined by a specific location, but instead is simply an activity, something you do.
Flexible working is about being able to be effective regardless of your location; whether that’s at home, in the airport, on the train, in a café, or at a specially designed drop-in office. It’s also about being effective because of your location. It is about being liberated by the cloud services and devices now available, not being constrained by it. You might need to be closer to customers; or you might need space for deep thinking. Flexible working lets you accomplish either with minimal fuss. It is most definitely not an employee perk or HR arrangement made for individuals based on their personal preferences or situation.
Organisations that adopt this strategic approach to flexible working will stand a greater chance of success not just because they have changed their culture and objectives to ones that unlock and reward the natural entrepreneurialism of their employees. They will also have addressed the key issue of trust. By focusing on the outcome for the organisation rather than the individual the entire trust dynamic changes, liberating employees and their creativity.

The advent of the internet, then the web and the ever faster evolution of services and devices have transformed the way people live their lives. We have come an awful long way in the last 40 years. People are connected and embracing technology in incredible ways; they are communicating with friends over Skype, they are playing games online, they are on Facebook, they are streaming movies and music and sharing photos.
But in the office people are often tearing their hair out. But over the past few years a nagging sense of doubt has entered many people’s minds about how true the utopian vision of technology as the ultimate liberator is. Some have started to wonder whether the very thing that was supposed to set us free might not have instead ensnared us without truly adding the value it so richly promised.
Year after year voicemail use has dropped 8%, with only 14% of people bothering to listen through the entire voicemail message.
38% of video users report increase of improved retention in meetings that use video instead of just voice. 100% of video users say it helps them accelerate decision making.
From Forrester TEI - Another interviewed organization described a use case that has resulted in millions of dollars in additional revenue: “Opening an office used to take three to four months. Our latest opening, using Office 365, took 18 days. When we get a grant, we can only start to invoice once we begin to perform work. That means we were losing three months of revenue.” This amounted to nearly $200,000 per month for one office, and five offices were being opened in a typical year.
A social business is one that recognises that its greatest value is how its people are connected to each other and how in turn they are connected to the people they serve inside and outside the business. It’s one that truly recognises the value of simply bringing people together and giving them an outcome you want them to achieve. Social tools such as Yammer replicate the experience we have in our personal lives with social media and spreads it throughout work.
For example, a hamburger chain in the US recently introduced social sharing within the company, empowering local store managers to create and share ideas on how to get customers to spend more at the bar to reverse flagging profits. Soon stores began to put experiments into place. Turnover noticeably improved. Even better, the stores that experimented also reported lower staff turnover. You ask your employees to help you solve a problem, you get them aligned – and it turns out they’re a lot more effective and engaged.

As we think about the last 30 years, Communication inside and outside of the workplace has evolved. First with the phone, then email, the Internet, instant messaging, smartphones/mobile computing devices, and now social apps. The evolution of communications still continues today for both consumers and professionals. We all went from using cell phones and pagers to using email, AOL IM or MSN messenger, and now social apps like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. With the consumerization of IT, consumers and professionals still have a strong desire to communicate however tools and applications that they communicate with has changed considerably. They simply want to connect, engage, and interact with their friends, co-workers, partners, customers, and family with the tools for which they are most familiar.

Social tools such as Yammer replicate the experience we have in our personal lives with social media and spreads it throughout work.
For example, a hamburger chain in the US recently introduced social sharing within the company, empowering local store managers to create and share ideas on how to get customers to spend more at the bar to reverse flagging profits. Soon stores began to put experiments into place. Turnover noticeably improved. Even better, the stores that experimented also reported lower staff turnover. You ask your employees to help you solve a problem, you get them aligned – and it turns out they’re a lot more effective and engaged.

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.
