Imagine a future where silo'd departments and legacy processes don’t stand in our way. Today’s collaboration needs go from complex collaboration portals to simple innovation hubs and most importantly need to work for our devices. Designing portals to enable a new kind of collaboration and communication is an absolute necessity today.
For the past couple years, I’ve had the opportunity to study how successful teams collaborate and have helped to transform the way teams work and collaborate together. In this session, I'll share what I’ve learned about making effective cross-discipline collaboration possible, and leave you with actionable approaches you can use to unite your team's communication and collaboration needs.

18. When each day’s Yammer tip is posted by a member of the tip team it ensures
that these tips come from different users which gets more people involved.
PLANNING FOR TIPS…
19. Tips drive users to take action, should be themed, should be pre-written before
the start of the campaign, and should relate to challenges/contests.
PLANNING FOR TIPS
20. The goal of each contest is to get the users to take an action (upload a profile picture,
download a mobile app, etc.) and those actions should be connected to a tip or tips that
had been shared (explaining how to do the action and its value).
PLANNING FOR CONTESTS
21. Since you are already doing a time boxed campaign consider providing targeted training
sessions that are hands on and participatory. Even if you are performing training remotely
if the group is small enough you can create exercises and track completion.

Notes de l'éditeur
It’s not a fancy re-naming of intranets
It’s not about social networks, social or mobile intranets
It’s not about social business or social enterprise
A digital workplace is not just a fancy re-branding of intranets.
Providing a set of services or capabilities for the organization. – ClearBox Consulting
Enables new, more effective ways of working; raises employee engagement and agility; and exploits consumer-oriented styles and technologies. – Gartner
Encompasses all the technologies people use to get work done in today’s workplace ... It ranges from your HR applications and core business applications to e-mail, instant messaging and enterprise social media tools and virtual meeting tools. – Deloitte
Break down the barriers between
people,
Workplaces, and
technologies
Empower their employees to be productive and creative wherever they are...
IT is a catalyst for new ways of working, but
Competitive advantage increasingly comes from letting employees use technology in the way they want to.
Requires a business culture that puts people first
Quote from Klaus Holse (Microsoft Western Europe VP)
Germans are very competitive and do not usually collaborate naturally,
Germany - the culture in Germany values formality, neatness and strong work ethic. Typically very competitive so they do not usually collaborate naturally.
Ghana – as a hierarchical society, people are given respect based on age, wisdom, experience, wealth or position. So they expect people that are leaders to make the decision for the entire group. Younger staff members will not challenge superiors.
Abu Dhabi - Culture is very much mixed with religion in Abu Dhabi. Many of the rules that are followed are based on Islam. The rules regarding modesty and strong gender segregation. This does not help collaboration between genders. An example is having Emirati employees in a room and only women were allowed to attend. Much more structured than anywhere else.
China - They place a high value on education and hard work. There is always a competitive drive to succeed. Very similar to the United States but it is considered impolite to question superiors. We need to break the silence mindset, once the interaction happens it will be incredibly valuable.
Japan - culturally, Japanese users are more open to experimenting which leads to higher degrees of collaboration. Have seen much higher adoption rates
Application selection has not been as straightforward. Knowing when to use what is a common question many ask.
allow users to bring in their own apps, without even asking, as long as they meet some minimum pre-defined requirements (security and data backup/privacy/protection usually top the list.) IT periodically audits what's in use, looking for issues and concerns, and helps users get support if they need it, but is otherwise relatively hands off to manage cost and complexity.
Azure App Discovery can help with this
Achieve Committed Adoption
1. Driving Interest - Often initially comprised of early adoptions. These users may adopt & use new technology once they are aware of it or have an interest in the technology. ‘Did you know’ tips & pre-launch communication can accelerate this groups adoption. Use this group to share and influence others.
2. Guiding Understanding - Users need help understanding how to change. How can they use the technology? How should they use it? Help, coaching, how to tips, training, contests & challenges help this group of users the most.
3. Maximize & Realize Value - Users need to understand the value of changing. Sharing stories, benefits, contest winners, & business impact of the technology will be critical. Create a champions program. People learn best from others
Clear priorities
Blueprint for the roles and relationships of each department (R&D, marketing, sales, customer support, manufacturing, HR and IT).
Map out how various technologies will be exploited to raise engagement levels and support the transition to a digital business.
FUD around what automation might do to the workforce of the future.
Major benefits to adopting supportive Cognitive based solutions
Universal income
Organizations are finally waking up to the need to foster better integration and improved usability by connecting business applications together into a more collaborative and coherent digital workplace. Now a new twist is emerging.
Q: most used performance metrics by CIO?
Employee satisfaction is now the 3rd most used performance metrics by CIO.
Traditional field worker
Remote work at customer site
Call headquarters on mobile phone and try to locate the right expert
Describe to the expert what they are seeing
Take a digital picture and send it to the expert either from mobile phone or PC
Return to the field to follow the instructions from the expert over the phone
Digital Workplace
Field engineers sport wearables that stream real-time video back to the expert, so they can see what the field worker sees
The field engineer receives real time instructions, hands-free, visually and audibly
The expert provides guidance and data in real-time, so field engineers can make quick decisions providing enhanced productivity and service levels
For the last 20 years, finding people and content has been a constant frustration inside large organizations. There have been periodic improvements due to better technology, some understanding of content tagging and innovative search practice, but the story for most companies has been one of disappointment and annoyance.
Either organizations are not investing into their digital workplace or most employees are not even aware that digital transformation is happening in their organization.
