General session presented at the European SharePoint, Office 365, and Azure Conference 2018 (#ESPC18) in Copenhagen, Denmark. This session discusses the primary reason that collaboration and communication fails within the enterprise (a lack of alignment between culture and technology) and presents tools and best practices for bridging this gap for more effective collaboration and communication -- and making a lasting impact to your organization.
6. ON THE TOPIC OF
WHY START
GROUP DYNAMICS?
Most communication and collaboration issues
are NOT about the technology
Finding the right “cultural fit” is essential
Understanding your team or corporate culture
is a necessary first-step
And strong change management will help
ensure your ongoing success
13. But does SharePoint fit
every collaboration scenario?

15. Envisioning intelligent communications
in our day-to-day work experiences
Before a meeting, insights,
history, and deeper context
After a meeting, notes and
actions captured and distributed
in context to relevant projects,
powering search and eDiscovery
During a meeting, improved
connections with in-person and
online participants, sharing of
relevant information

42. THE SECRET TO
WHAT IS
CHANGE?
Selecting the right tools?
Training your end users on the right
features, and new processes?
Praying it will “stick” this time?
Permanent change happens only when you
help your end users to alter their behaviors.
@buckleyplanet #ESPC18
43. When end users can adapt to change,
they become
More efficient
More effective in their roles
More collaborative
More innovative
THE SECRET TO
WHAT IS
CHANGE?
@buckleyplanet #ESPC18
44. LASTING CHANGE,
WITHOUT
YOUR EFFORTS WILL
People follow the path of least resistance
HOW you reach your destination is just
as important as finishing
We focus so much on process and
technology, we often forget the people
LIKELY FAIL
@buckleyplanet #ESPC18
45. Collaboration change has broad impact
Technology not only automates and streamlines, it can
fundamentally change what we do, and how we do it.
Processes are about alignment of people with technology,
and can be a key differentiator for your business – and
dramatically change in the future workplace.
People are able to adapt and change, but we often pay the
least amount of attention to the constant pace of change from
which we expect people to learn, adapt, and be productive.
@buckleyplanet #ESPC18
48. WHY IT
WORKED
We made all of our activities transparent
We kept going
Everyone had a voice, and anyone could write on the board
We constantly revised our priorities, and communicated our changes
@buckleyplanet #ESPC18
50. Create a culture with change at its center, and
you will find multiple opportunities to step into
the role of the Digital Workplace Champion
@buckleyplanet #ESPC18
58. 1. Identify your key stakeholders, champions, and user profiles
2. Identify & select your business scenarios
3. Conduct a pilot that includes business users, champions, and IT professionals.
4. Design, launch and manage an adoption campaign, including:
• Internal awareness materials such as posters, digital signage, and events
• Self-help and training information in a single location
• A defined feedback mechanism
• Pre-defined success measures (solution adoption, views of key materials, attendance at courses)
5. Build a champion program alongside your service deployment
6. Provide a standard feedback method
7. Measure and share success
8. Adjust your messaging and methods based on feedback, repeat
