Overview of the book "The Digital Renaissance of Work - Delivering Digital Workplaces Fit for the Future", by Paul Miller and Elizabeth Marsh. Slides from the webinar February 25, 2015.
More information about the book: http://shar.es/1gefHn
The document discusses the shift from intranet management to digital workplace leadership. It outlines 9 key points about this transition, including that the intranet remains important but the focus expands to tools, people and physical workspaces (point 1). The role requires broader engagement across stakeholders and advising executives (point 2, 4). It involves building a team with diverse skills beyond just technology (point 6, 7) and taking on more of a leadership than just a management role (point 5). Finally, the time is now for organizations to make this transition to digital workplace leadership (point 9).

Product Management 2.0: Using Confluence to drive company-wide alignment and ...Atlassian
The document discusses how Dyn Inc. used Confluence to create a product roadmap dashboard to improve alignment across their fast-growing company of 80 employees. It provides two examples of how the dashboard was used: (1) to collaborate on a new top-down initiative using kanban and Gantt views, and (2) to coordinate a product release across engineering, marketing, and sales using labels and discussions. The dashboard leveraged various free Confluence plugins to link pages, add scaffolding and metadata, and create custom views and reports.
In this presentation I talk about challenges in building data driven products. They range from technical to non technical. In high tech industry of big data we need great people with good communications skills as never before.

The Power of Enterprise Social and Gamification to Boost User AdoptionChristian Buckley
While enterprise social collaboration is something talked about and recognized within the industry, the idea of utilizing Gamification is still widely misunderstood. When you talk about Gamification, you might think about Points, Badges, and Leaderboards (PBL) within your application or intranet, with the goal of driving user engagement through the roof. This scenario is only partly true. The fact is, adding simple Gamification elements to your environment might have a positive short-term effect on user engagement metrics, but these tools may only appeal to a small sub-set of your users – and even then, will not likely provide lasting improvement.
In this presentation by Microsoft MVPs Christian Buckley (@buckleyplanet) and Jussi Mori (@JussiMori), we look beyond PBLs and help you to envision how enterprise social and strategic use of Gamification can provide lasting value and increase end user engagement within your environment. We will examine the core drivers of successful enterprise collaboration, discuss the factors that motivate people, and share real-world scenarios of how you can apply these principles within your own organization to drive user engagement and adoption. Specifically, we will provide customer examples where Gamification was implemented successfully, and show you how this could be adapted to improve productivity and efficiency in SharePoint and Office 365.
What does it take to get people to be more engaged within SharePoint? That's the focus of this session from #SPTechCon, which walks through a design and planning perspective on making SharePoint more productivity-focused.

Data-Ed Webinar: Data Modeling FundamentalsDATAVERSITY
Every organization produces and consumes data. Because data is so important to day to day operations, data trends are hitting the mainstream and businesses are adopting buzzwords such as Big Data, NoSQL, data scientist, etc., to seek solutions for their fundamental issues. Few realize that the importance of any solution, regardless of platform or technology, relies on the data model supporting it. Data modeling is not an optional task for an organization’s data effort. It is a vital activity that supports the solutions driving your business.
This webinar will address fundamental data modeling methodologies, as well as trends around the practice of data modeling itself. We will discuss abstract models and entity frameworks, as well as the general shift from data modeling being segmented to becoming more integrated with business practices.
Learning Objectives:
How are anchor modeling, data vault, etc. different and when should I apply them?
Integrating data models to business models and the value this creates

Comprendre les différences dans les environnements de défauts et d’autres vous permettra de mieux comprendre sa gestion et de mieux contrôler les coûts.
Nous discuterons également des risques de laisser les développements non contrôlés proliférer au risque de voir une répétition des situations déjà rencontrées avec Microsoft Access et Excel et certaines applications qui sont devenues critiques dans votre entreprise, mais complètement absentes de votre contrat de service.

The Microsoft Common Data model (CDM) is the Azure-based storage mechanism for the Microsoft business application platform. The most intuitive use case for the CDM is to provide an easy to use relational database for PowerApps. App Creators can use the CDM to model their data and easily share apps created on that data. CDM aims to provide much more than storage, it also provides definitions for common business entities as well as integration capabilities for importing data from multiple sources like SharePoint Online and On Premises. With data sourced across the enterprise, businesses can drive insights and actions using PowerApps, Power BI, and Microsoft Flow based solutions.

Megan Bowen is an end user working for Contoso Electronics’ Marketing team. She and other members of her team need an app to identify and staff various electronics events
Showing the end user experience
Starting apps from a list view
The Marketing team at Contoso Electronics, like many other teams, utilizes SharePoint lists to access, share, and collaborate around structured data. Megan Bowen, as a member of this team, uses this Events to Staff list to track important industry conferences and trade shows, and whether her team has adequate staffing plans for them.
POINT OUT
In the browser session, in the Events to Staff list, show the events that are already being tracked.
CLICK STEP(S)
At the top right, click the All Items drop-down.
With the SharePoint modern list experience, Megan can use a view to launch a simple app that was created in Microsoft PowerApps. The app allows her to manage these event items and was built without a single line of code.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click Events to Staff - Beginner to change the view.
The app starts directly in the browser, but Megan could also access the app from any device.
CLICK STEP(S)
In that view, click Open to start the app in the browser.
Using the browse screen
In this case, the app is a slightly-modified version of one created, in context, with the default web designer experience.
CLICK STEP(S)
When the app starts, click on the right of the app to scroll down and show the full list of items.
It uses the data and schema from the list and has the standard three-screen experience for discovering and managing items, with just a small amount of formatting and logic applied.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click to the right of the app to scroll up.
A corporate logo and Create new item icon appear at the top of the browse screen.
POINT OUT:
At the top right, pause on the Create new item icon (plus sign).
At the bottom, Megan can refresh the list, change the sorting, or exit the app.
POINT OUT:
At the bottom, pause on the Refresh list (circle), Sort list (up and down arrows), and Exit app (x) icons.
Near the top, in the Search items box, she can filter the view with a text search, which is extremely helpful when there are hundreds or thousands of items in the list.
CLICK STEP(S)
Near the top, click in the Search items box to initiate typing.
[PowerPoint will auto-type consumer.]
Using the detail screen
For any item, clicking the corresponding right arrow icon takes Megan to the event details screen.
CLICK STEP(S)
In the list of results, in the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) item, click the > icon to show details.
This read-only view provides a quick summary of each event, pulling data directly from the SharePoint list.
At the top, the Back to list icon allows her to return to the browse screen.
POINT OUT:
At the top left, pause on the Back to list (<) icon.
At the bottom, she can edit the item, delete the item, or exit the app.
POINT OUT:
At the bottom, pause on the Edit this item (pencil), Delete this item (trash can), and Exit app (x) icons.
Using the edit screen
At the top right, Megan clicks the + icon to start the third screen, where she can create a new event item in the list.
CLICK STEP(S)
At the top right, click the Create new item (+) icon.
The editable form has controls bound directly to the SharePoint list columns.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click in the Title box to initiate typing.
[PowerPoint will auto-type Contoso Electronics Expo]
CLICK STEP(S)
Click in the Event Coordinator box to initiate typing.
[PowerPoint will auto-type mir.]
This People or Group control works just like it would in the modern list experience. Megan types a few characters and then gets a list of possible results from which to select.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click Miriam Graham.
…and many other column types.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click Resourcing in Process.
When she has filled out her required data, at the bottom, Megan clicks the Submit item icon to create a new item in the list.
CLICK STEP(S)
At the bottom left, click the Submit item (checkmark) icon.
CLICK STEP(S)
At the bottom right, click the Exit app icon.
CLICK STEP(S)
Switch to the Electronics Events browser tab.
After exiting the app, she switches back to the Events to Staff list.
CLICK STEP(S)
At the top right, click the Events to Staff - Beginner drop-down.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click All Items.
Within the default All Items view, she confirms that her new item has been added.
POINT OUT:
Point to, but do not click, the new Contoso Electronics Expo item.
The effort required from Megan to build the app was less than a day, since she leveraged PowerApps integration with SharePoint, and made mostly light UX modifications.
Now, let’s see how quickly Megan can build a comparable app from scratch.
Building a simple app from scratch
Automatically creating an app from a list
The SharePoint modern list experience offers users a quick entry point to build an app in a matter of seconds, without the need for custom code. End users, like Megan, can leverage PowerApps to extend their solutions with relative ease, while professional developers can extend solutions even further with custom APIs and connectors.
CLICK STEP(S)
In the set of controls at the top of the list, click PowerApps.
In the list of controls at the top, the Create an app option provides seamless integration with PowerApps.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click Create an app.
When Megan specifies an app name in the flyout…
CLICK STEP(S)
In the flyout that appears to the right, click in the Name box to initiate typing.
[PowerPoint will auto-type Sample Event Tracker.]
… and clicks Create…
CLICK STEP(S)
Click Create.
…the PowerApps web designer starts directly in the browser. Since the web designer knows the context of the list where Megan initiated the app, PowerApps can build a default three-screen experience using that list’s schema and data.
Changing display data on the browse screen
At the left, the web designer provides a Screens pane that makes it easy for Megan to navigate app screens and select controls. On the default browse screen, each item is displaying the event location, instead of the event name. Using the Screens pane, she selects the Title1 control…
CLICK STEP(S)
In the PowerApps Studio left navigation, within BrowseScreen1 >> BrowseGallery1, click Title1.
…and then changes the Text property so that it pulls data from the SharePoint list’s Title column. If she wanted to display more event information, she could leverage the corresponding Subtitle1 and Body1 controls and have them pull data from other list columns.
CLICK STEP(S)
At the top of PowerApps Studio, with the Text property selected, change the value to ThisItem.Title.
[PowerPoint will select City, then auto-type Title.]
Adding an image to a screen
Megan can easily incorporate images, videos, and audio into her app. Using the File tab in the web designer’s ribbon…
CLICK STEP(S)
In the ribbon, click the File tab.
…she can access the app’s Media page, where she can import and reference any of these multimedia files.
CLICK STEP(S)
In the left navigation, click Media.
If you recall from the end-to-end experience earlier, the app had a logo at the top of the browse screen. Here, Megan demonstrates how to include that logo into the app by clicking Browse…
CLICK STEP(S)
At the top right, click Browse.
…and then navigating to the Contoso logo on her local machine.
CLICK STEP(S)
In the left navigation, click Pictures.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click the ContosoLogo.png.
NOTE: In the actual demo you would double-click the image.
CLICK STEP(S)
At the top left, click the <- icon to return to the designer.
Returning to her browse screen, Megan uses the Insert tab to insert an image control from the Media gallery.
CLICK STEP(S)
In the ribbon, click the Insert tab.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click the Media drop-down.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click Image.
With the Image property for that control selected by default, all she must do is set the corresponding value to the name of the image that was added.
CLICK STEP(S)
At the top of PowerApps Studio, click ThisItem.Logo property to initiate typing.
[PowerPoint will auto-type ContosoLogo.]
If Megan needs to resize the image quickly, she can click one of the control’s corners and drag as needed. If she needed more precision with the image’s dimensions, she could modify the control’s Height and Width properties. Then, to move the image to the top title bar, Megan clicks one of the control’s sides and drags it up as needed. In just a few clicks, she has successfully branded her app.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click the image to resize and move it to the right of the Events to Staff heading.
CLICK STEP(S)
In the PowerApps Studio left navigation, click the scroll bar.
Changing colors
Many organizations have branding guidelines, which may include a color palette. Megan can easily comply with such guidelines. Changing font colors and background colors in the web designer is as simple as selecting a control and then editing certain properties.
CLICK STEP(S)
In the PowerApps Studio left navigation, click DetailScreen1.
CLICK STEP(S)
In the left navigation, click the scroll bar.
In this case, Megan just wants to change the background color of the detail screen’s title bar.
CLICK STEP(S)
In the left navigation, within DetailScreen1, click RectQuickActionBar2.
Using the Screens pane, she selects the corresponding control.
CLICK STEP(S)
At the top of PowerApps Studio, click the property selector.
The property selector is set to OnSelect by default, so she changes it to Fill.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click Fill.
Now, she can adjust the background color by entering the correct RGB value. Again, in just a few clicks, Megan can apply basic branding to different elements of her app.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click RGBA to initiate typing.
[PowerPoint will auto-type 43,67,119,1.]
Saving, publishing, and sharing an app
With her light modifications in place, Megan is now ready to deploy her app. In the File tab…
CLICK STEP(S)
Click the File tab.
…clicking Save will save the progress she has made thus far.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click Save.
The app will not be available publicly, but at least she can pick up where she left off if she decides to revisit her design tasks later.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click Publish.
When Megan publishes…
CLICK STEP(S)
Click Publish this version.
…the app becomes available to everyone with whom it is shared.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click Share this app.
In this case, since the app is new, sharing has not been set up yet, but Megan can do that on the Share screen.
POINT OUT:
In the browser tab that starts, pause on the Add everyone in my org option.
Note the ability here to share with the entire organization.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click in the Enter names, email addresses, or user groups box to initiate typing.
[PowerPoint will auto-type isa.]
Initially, Megan wants to share the app with Isaiah, another member of the Marketing team with whom she collaborates frequently on event staffing.
CLICK STEP(S)
In the list of results, click Isaiah Langer.
She adds him to the app’s Shared with list. Once added, Megan can change permissions so that, in addition to using the form, Isaiah can edit it as well.
CLICK STEP(S)
In the Shared with area, click the Permission list for Isaiah to show options.
Megan then saves her changes so that Isaiah can now use and/or edit the new app.
CLICK STEP(S)
Click Save.
Conclusion
In a few minutes, Megan leveraged PowerApps to build an app that connects with SharePoint Online. She extended her Microsoft 365 solution with relative ease, and her app required no custom design or code. Additionally, the app can be used by different members of the organization and on any device.
