The document provides guidance on taking a strategic approach to using Office 365. It discusses understanding the business opportunity with Office 365, making the right decision for an organization, creating the proper organizational context to achieve value, and driving effective use to realize benefits. A strategic approach requires analyzing scenarios, decisions, organizational constructs like culture and governance, and developing an adoption framework with elements like training and champions.
Re imagining Productive Work with Office 365 - at OSPUG October 2016Michael Sampson
Slides from the Office 365 and SharePoint User Group meeting in Christchurch on October 6, 2016. There was a workshop activity during the session for participants to explore one of two scenarios.
Developing a Strategic Approach to Microsoft Office 365Michael Sampson
Going beyond a tactical approach to Office 365, and thinking strategically. Includes two approaches for doing so - top-down (starting from strategy) and bottom-up (starting from technology-enabled opportunities).
The way people connect in their personal and professional lives has changed
fundamentally in the last few years – the world has effectively formed a giant network.
People now expect to be able to get things done at work in the same way.
Office 365 is an invitation for your organization to work in that way. It allows you to
become more connected, collaborative and structured in how work gets done. But it can
only do that if you take the people in your organization on that journey with you.
The Office 365 Customer Success team have contributed our experiences of working
with customers on their journeys to working differently to this guide. We hope it inspires
you with what is possible and that you like it, use it and share it with the people in your
organization. We’d welcome feedback on it, through the Office 365 Network.
Change the way you work, because the way you work impacts the work you do
Atidan is pleased to offer FastTrack incentives to move to Microsoft's Office 365 - Your complete Office in the Cloud
Office 365 is your personal Office and more. It lets you work from anywhere, on any device, whether you’re online or offline. It helps you do your best work, the way you want to, wherever you are.
That means more powerful tools for creating content, better ways to work together, and easier ways to share.
And that’s just the beginning.
Check out the scenarios in this book to see some of the ways
Office 365 can help you get things done, better, together.

Metalogix EMEA Roadshow 2015 - How to drive adoption for Office 365Jasper Oosterveld
Adoption is at the centre of everything. It's crucial for a successful deployment and use of Office 365 and its online services. Although adoption makes sense it's not easy to drive and manage adoption for Office 365. During this session Jasper Oosterveld (Office365 MVP) takes you on an adoption journey to help you understand why adoption is important and how you can achieve the highest level of adoption.
The Nintex Platform is Easy-to-use, Powerful and Complete to manage, automate and optimize your processes.
Manage processes by discovering, mapping and sharing across process participants and owners.
This often leads to opportunities for process automation. Many processes involve the capture of information and our forms capability provides an ease-to-use, responsive design experience, often eliminating paper forms. With advanced workflow capabilities you can quickly design powerful applications using advanced logic and rules to eliminate manual work. Nintex RPA drives speed by automating those mundane, repetitive tasks. Since many processes involve the need to generate a document we have a DocGen offering to automatically create documents from both unstructured and structured data sources. With Nintex Sign powered by Adobe Sign you can easily integrate eSign into your signature-based workflows for total automation.
Once you have been managing and automating processes, imagine the amount of information available on how your business is operating. Leveraging Nintex Analytics you are able to get process intelligence allowing you to monitor, analyze and improve your business.
With the Nintex platform our customers and partners value our extensibility, using pre-built connecters as well as leveraging our Xtensions to build powerful bi-directional connectors to orchestrate processes across any systems in your organization.
Combining the power of Nintex with our customer success and vast partner network it is easy to see why our customers are so successful.
While Office365 continues to grow at a rapid rate, adoption beyond Exchange can be slow without a strategy in place. This presentation discusses: a "go to market" strategy for a successful Office 365 deployment; productivity features that will enhance adoption; strategies for keeping end users engaged; how to track usage and activity so you can measure your success; and touches on many of the productivity features (Groups, Delve, Yammer, co-editing, etc). The primary focus, however, is on the management/ongoing educational aspects of a successful deployment.

Tackling Office 365 & SharePoint Adoption Like A ServiceRichard Harbridge
Office 365 provides an incredible amount of value to individual employees, teams, departments, and organizations. Much of this value is not realized immediately upon purchase or deployment of Office 365. The value is realized as more and more users understand, adopt, and embrace the technology.
So how do we drive faster, sustainable and effective adoption? Perhaps more importantly, how do we ensure our adoption approach scales and can keep up with the innovation the Office 365 service provides?
Join Richard Harbridge as he shares real-world experience, advice, and activities that other customers are leveraging to get more from Office 365 and drive more meaningful adoption.
With the rate of innovation coming from Microsoft these days, many organizations are struggling to understand which tools and capabilities to use, and when to use them. The fact is: different teams work in different ways. Within the modern digital workplace, there are many different “modalities” of collaboration — and the companies that understand and meet the evolving needs of their end users will have a competitive advantage.
This presentation reprises a keynote presentation given at the European SharePoint Conference (Nov 2016) in Vienna, Austria by Office Server and Services MVPs Christian Buckley from Beezy and Benjamin Niaulin from Sharegate as they discuss real-world scenarios and management considerations of the three primary collaboration modalities: document and process-centric (SharePoint), email-centric (Exchange and Groups), and social-centric (Yammer, Skype for Business) -- and how Beezy can meet the various needs of these modalities.
You started out with the best of intentions. Then things started to go wrong.
You wanted to deploy an intranet solution to improve communication and collaboration. You had dreams of engaged employees easily sharing and managing their content. But then things started to go wrong. If your intranet is failing, it's likely that your intentions were sound, but your expectations were unrealistic.
In this webinar Daniel Cohen-Dumani, founder and CEO of Portal Solutions and OneWindow Workplace, tells us about the 7 Signs Your Intranet is Failing (...And How to Fix It).
We discussed:
- The seven signs of a failing intranet
- Using the right tool(s) for your organization's needs
- Governance planning
- Setting goals and measuring ROI
- The overwhelming importance of having a plan
The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-ServiceChristian Buckley
Within Office 365, we have multiple methods for social collaboration. Organizations around the world are struggling to understand which tool to use when -- but this is the wrong premise. In this session, we'll discuss the broader concept of 'conversation as a service' and how Microsoft Teams, Outlook Groups, Yammer, and SharePoint all fit together -- and show you how to get the most out of all of them.
Microsoft 365 offers various benefits to the organization that results in cost reduction and employee satisfaction. It is the digital hub where staff members can create files, assign tasks, store information and manage it, set up reminders, manage security access and communicate with colleagues via different channels. A Microsoft 365 intranet caters to the business needs of all the departments of an organization - it facilitates social collaboration, enhanced employee efficiency, quick search, automated forms and easy publishing of news and announcements.
New technologies are changing the way people work with each other, their organization’s partners, and their customers. Employee expectations have grown and are being met by innovation that delivers greater accessibility, lower costs, and faster results. The catch? Organizations and employees need to understand, adopt, and use these technologies or risk being outpaced by new competitors or changes in the marketplace.
Join Richard Harbridge in an insightful discussion as he explores why collaboration can be challenging in organizations today, what we can do about it together.
Moving your social collaboration infrastructure to the Cloud. Stairway to Hea...LetsConnect
All major software vendors are switching their business model to cloud based delivery. Will this be a win / win situation for vendors and customers or is it just a more effective vendor lock in?
In this session we are discussing different aspects to provide a better understanding
– for software companies business model to move its customers to their Cloud solution and
– for the potential benefits and risk for enterprise customers abandoning their on-premise infrastructure
We work with more people today than ever before. The scale, speed, and sprawl that collaboration requires are some of the biggest challenges facing organizations today. Today’s collaboration needs are dynamic and varied, from complex collaboration portals to small innovation teams. How can an organization succeed in enabling collaboration while mitigating or reducing the risks that come with it? How do we design and empower the right experiences to enable a new kind of compliant collaboration that is needed to meet future demands, all while leveraging the latest innovations from Microsoft collaboration platform Loop to Microsoft Viva.
Join Richard Harbridge, a Microsoft MVP and internationally recognized expert on Microsoft 365 and the Digital Workplace, in partnership with Colligo, as he shares insight on how to better plan, design, integrate and enhance collaboration within your organization. Hear proven approaches from tackling and managing Teams, SharePoint, and Community sprawl to enabling improved employee experiences that bring collaboration, process, and more directly into the places people already work like Microsoft Teams and Outlook today. Be inspired by actionable advice and solutions that maximize the power of metadata and integrate into the flow of work so that collaborated content is automatically (by default) protected, retained, categorized, and managed.
In this session you will hear:
Why compliant collaboration is essential to future-ready digital design, and how you can play a crucial role in creating the foundation for sustainable, scalable, and responsible collaboration that keeps pace with significant marketplace innovation.
Real-life industry examples of what it takes to make effective collaboration possible.
Practical techniques you can use to bridge silos, increase productivity, and deliver better outcomes for your teams.

How can your team get the most out of Office 365?
Microsoft Office 365 is full of rich features, but boy can it be challenging to manage. Thoughtful consideration around defining governance and aligning features with business tasks is absolutely critical.
So what do you need to know?
In this webinar, Jill Hannemann of Portal Solutions walks you through use cases surrounding Office 365 features and discusses strategies for framing context to introduce to user groups. We covered:
- The workloads in Office 365
- The strengths and weaknesses for the workloads in context to productivity
- Governance framework with which to structure your own strategy
Office 365 and SharePoint are evolving fast. A few years ago many of us may have begun modernizing our SharePoint environments - planning an upgrade or a migration to SharePoint 2013 or even SharePoint Online. Since that time many things have changed in both SharePoint Server and Office 365, not to mention within our organizations. New services have been added, and many of those services are improving with each passing month. What approaches, strategies and rollout models are other organizations using? What can we learn from their successes?
Join us for this facilitated and interactive discussion where instead of just looking forward based on the industries most recent announcements, we look back into key changes that we all need to understand better. This discussion will be facilitated by Richard Harbridge, a Microsoft MVP, and internationally recognized expert on Office 365 and SharePoint. Together we will discuss what has changed in the past few years for developers, IT professionals, and SharePoint leads while exploring how organizations are leveraging these services in different ways today.

New advances in the collaboration industry are having an affect on the prior leading models, enterprise social networks and online community. Real-time messaging, such as Slack, app integration, and intelligent chatbots are pushing the envelope and shows that a one-solution enterprise collaboration strategy is not likely a viable solutions in most organizations. I examined the trends and what this meant at Social Connections 10 in Toronto this week.
Object Oriented Business Capability Map - IIBA 2022 - Draft.pptxAustraliaChapterIIBA
Join IIBA® Melbourne as they host an online event specifically on how to develop business capability maps.
About this event
Ever wondered how to develop business capability maps? or perhaps you need a refresher?
Join Mohammad Mirkarimi Senior Business Architect at Capsifi and David Grindlay Principal Business Architect at Capsifi as they guide us through this session.
Captivated by art, science and business - Mohammad is trying to bring these three together. Moh is a drummer, a physics and biology enthusiast, and a business architect and analyst. He has studied Engineering, Business Management and Finance in academia. Also, equipped with IIBA, TOGAF and The Business Architecture Guild bodies of knowledge. Moh has worked as team member, leader and visionary in Management Consulting, Banking, Wealth, Insurance, Government, Telecom and Education industries.
With over 15 years of experience implementing software, David started his career as a business analyst in South Africa primarily in the financial services – insurance industry. In 2014 he moved over to Australia where he really started to observe the notorious gap between business strategies and project roadmaps as well as the downstream implications. More recently in his career, he gained broader exposure to other industries (Retail, Financial Services, Government and Hospitality) helping to structurally decompose business strategies, define the business landscape and help project teams (Business and Technical) realise and align on their common purpose. Today, David considers himself a Business Architect, doing whatever it takes to help companies realise their vision.
This session will contain two parts:
The first part is about learning the basics. There will also be time to review some theoretical stuff – but we promise it won’t be boring! We’ll review The Business Architecture Guild’s view by taking an Object-oriented approach to developing a business capability map
In the second part, we’ll pick a business (a simple one for this exercise, e.g. local cafe) and apply what we’ve studied to develop a business capability map for the chosen business.
At the end of the session, there will be time to share our learnings!
Proven Strategies for increasing Adoption and EngagementChristian Buckley
While Office 365 continues to grow at a rapid rate, adoption can be slow and difficult without a strategy in place. This presentation covers a number of different topics that all have an impact on end user adoption and engagement. This presentation shares: a "go to market" strategy for a successful Office 365 deployment; productivity features that will enhance adoption; strategies for keeping end users engaged; how to track usage and activity so you can measure your success; and touches on many of the productivity features (Groups, Delve, Yammer, co-editing, etc).

Tackling Adoption Like A Service With SharePoint & Office 365 (SPTechCon)Richard Harbridge
Office 365 provides an incredible amount of value to individual employees, teams, departments, and organizations. Much of this value is not realized immediately upon purchase or deployment of Office 365. The value is realized as more and more users understand, adopt, and embrace the technology. So how do we drive faster, sustainable and effective adoption? And, perhaps more importantly, how do we ensure our adoption approach scales and can keep up with the innovation the Office 365 service provides?
Join Richard Harbridge as he shares real-world experience, advice, and activities that other customers are leveraging to get more from Office 365 and drive more meaningful adoption.
Office 365 Adoption Guide (63 pages) (2016 version) Daniel Chang
This guide has been created for organizations looking at the
most effective ways to leverage their investment in Office 365.
It is meant to be used as a step-by-step guide, whereby you
can ensure that your organization can first identify, and then
execute specific tasks that will have the greatest positive effect
on your organization.
And remember, you are not in this alone. There are thousands
of organizations just like yours who are currently launching
Office 365 and you can connect with them in this community.
Change the way you work, because the way you work impacts
the work you do.
A successful collaboration strategy includes technology, process alignment, and the user experiences. However, organizations tend to focus the most on technology, and the least on people -- when the opposite should be true. As this presentation explains, culture is the key to any successful collaboration strategy.
Office 365 provides an incredible amount of value to individual employees, teams, departments, and organizations. Much of this value is not realized immediately upon purchase or deployment of Office 365. The value is realized as more and more users understand, adopt and embrace the technology.
So how do we drive faster, sustainable and effective adoption? And perhaps more importantly, how do we ensure our adoption approach scales and can keep up with the innovation the Office 365 service provides?
Join Richard Harbridge as he shares real world experience, advice and activities that other customers are leveraging to get more from Office 365 and drive more meaningful adoption.
In the 3rd of 3 joint webinars with Beezy and CardioLog Analytics, we discussed the basics of gamification, and how you can develop a "motivation hacking" strategy within SharePoint or Office 365 to help shape user behavior and improve adoption and engagement.

The need for Business design to underpin strategic and operational agility Craig Martin
Talk given at the business architecture Master Series in Sydney October 2019.
Agility is here to stay. But dig a little deeper and you will see that fundamental strategic, structural and cultural issues exist that often prevent success within large organizations. Some organizations have learnt the hard way when it comes to the missing pieces of the puzzle around organizational agility.
I was recently asked by a new-ways-of-working team to help them apply business design to create the target operating model needed to enable structural, operational and strategic agility. Is this the secret sauce that’s been missing in the agility conversations?
In this talk I’ll discuss the broader issues around agility when creating the adaptive and fast learning organization. And discuss the "secret sauce" that is missing when it comes to business heuristics and patterns.
I will also look at the areas where agility is succeeding and failing and discuss the need for multi-disciplinary architects that can help with the transition across strategic, business and delivery lenses.
PS - this is a presentation pack. I dont put everything I talk to into a slide. Some of these slides will therefore lack some context for you. Next time I'll record the talk and you can hopefully catch the story around the slides.
Slides from a webinar on February 19th, 2015 to the European SharePoint community (http://www.sharepointeurope.com/) as part of their Training Week. Much of this content duplicates my keynote from SharePoint Connect 2014 in Amsterdam last November, but my examples and the recording are updated and worth a view. Slides can only show you so much -- go watch the recording.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Declared Expertise

Discerned Expertise
19. Level 1. Declared Expertise
• What I think about myself
• What I know about myself
• Accuracy depends on self-knowledge
• Have to keep up-to-date
• A separate activity from work
• Expertise is asserted
21. Level 2. Deduced Expertise
• What the system reasons about me
• What I read
• The documents I write
• The emails I send
• Expertise is enacted
• A by-product of work
22. Level 2. Deduced Expertise
• E.g., SharePoint My Profile (in 2010)
• “We enhanced user profiles to reflect colleagues,
interests, expertise – either via explicit tagging or
recommendations based on Outlook and Office
Communicator.The model is opt-in so users can
manage what information is shared publically.They
decide when an interest is something they want to
share or be asked about by others in the
organization.”
23. Level 3. Discerned Expertise
• What others see in you
• What others recognise in you
• My NewYork story
• Expertise is socially recognised

27. Research
Findings
Research: Mandating Participation Fails
•KnowledgeYellow Pages (1990s)
•Problem = getting people to fill out their
profile
•Proposed solution = mandated
participation
•But:
• BP – 12% in first year
• Pratt-Whitney Rocketdyne – 25% after 8
years
28. Research
Findings
Research:Will this mean I get extra work?
•Roadblock – getting extra work when
found
•Solution:
• Provide other means of sharing expertise
(blog posts, etc.)
• Basic expertise requests can be auto-
answered
• Advanced expertise requests
29. In Office 365: Delve Profile
• Contact details from
SharePoint Newsfeed
• Highlights recent activity
• Respects security settings on
items
• Most roads lead to the Delve
profile
• Delve activity is discrete
items, not summarised
themes
• Launching board for
interaction
30. In Office 365:Yammer Profile
• Completely separate profile

• Recent content activity
• Contact information

31. For Office 365: Roadmap Intent
•Delve as the kingpin profile
•Refiners to Delve results
•Profile integration? (Delve,Yammer)
•More content signals into Delve
• Microsoft Graph
32. Evaluation: Pros
•Good progress on profile rationalisation
•Delve answers who, what, how
• e.g., easy access to contact information
Evaluation:
Pros and
Cons
33. Evaluation: Cons
•Two profiles is bad
•No reasoned expertise (only aggregated
activity)
• Can’t answer “who should I ask about X?”
•No suggestions
• Actions to take
• Actions to stop taking
Evaluation:
Pros and
Cons
34. Behaviours: Define the profile baseline
•Minimum profile standard, e.g.,
• Up-to-date professional photo
• Contact phone number
• Geographical location
• Job title
•Issues:
• Check corporate guidance on privacy
• Senior executives need to model
Behavioural
Aspects
40. Reality: IncredibleArray of Capabilities
• Wide array of capabilities
• New productivity services
• What makes sense for your organisation?
• The challenge—which tool for what? (and under
changing tool capabilities)
41. Reality: It’s Microsoft’s Problem
• Microsoft has the responsibility to:
• Make the service run reliably
• Deal with upgrades
• Handle any migration activities
42. Reality: Scalability for New Users
• No new infrastructure to deploy
• Add new users, assign licenses, and GO
43. • Monthly or annual pricing
• But to save money:
• De-establish internal infrastructure
• Re-allocate or dis-establish head count
Reality: Clarity on Costs
44. Reality: Opex not Capex
• Don’t need to find Capex allocations in budgets
• But:
• You Own Nothing
• Locked into perpetual licensing
• You can no longer skip an upgrade cycle
46. Reality: Office 365 Has Outages
June 2014 North America (9h) Exchange
June 2015 United Kingdom (13h) Exchange
July 2015 North and Latin America Exchange
Dec 2015 Europe (4h) Azure AD
47. Reality: Hands-off vs. Hands-different
• Changing role of IT professional
• NOT — keeping the lights going
• BUT — rolling out, approving, doing the change
management of new capabilities
48. Reality: Microsoft Can Cancel Plans atWill
• July 2014
• Cancelled: Small Business and Midsize Business Plans
• July 2015
• Cancelled: Enterprise E4
• Replacement: Enterprise E5
