On January 25, 2022, Christian Buckley hosted the M365 community's monthly TweetJam, this time with a focus on Objectives, Key Results (OKR), and the Employee Experience (EXP). Unfortunately, I was…
Today, December 29th, Christian Buckley hosted his annual year-end wrap up #CollabTalk TweetJam. The December TweetJam is typically the largest of the year, with community members peeking out from behind their usual work to make their predictions for the Microsoft stack in 2022.
On November 30th I joined Christian Buckley's #CollabTalk for another TweetJam - this time focused on security and collaboration.
It's December 3rd, so time to take the draft October 2021 Roll Call article and ... uhh ... publish it ... finally.
In September Jay participated in 4 videocasts, wrote a blog, and committed to two new audio series on his existing videocasts AND announced three upcoming conferences. Read all about it, we found Jay!
In 2011 I co-authored a paper on Enterprise 2.0. We posited, and not alone, that any future transformation would be fed by a combination of changes in the people that made up an organization, the processes those people used, and the technology that supported those. I find today, after an 18 month transformation that was forced upon much of the digital-knowledge based world, that this triangle is still relevant, and too-often ignored. (link to original paper included).
On July 1, 2021, I was bestowed the honor of MVP - Microsoft Most Valuable Professional. I join a community of over 3,000 active professionals who dedicate much of their time to sharing their knowledge and building a strong community. Thank you!
This past week I spoke at the SharePoint User Group DC (virtually) about collaboration and security in M365. There's a lot of question about how do we enable collaboration in highly regulated industries, from Federal, State, and Local governments, to systems integrators and the Defense Industrial Base. In these spaces, we see a lot of concern over data access for foreign citizens, contractors, US & European citizens data, and general concern over highly sensitive information. I have spent a lot of time evaluating native capabilties for M365 with customers, which specialize in openness and sharing, and where 3rd party tools or HEAVY configuration and custom apps (such as Power Platform) are needed. Especially when it comes to external users and Guest Access. In this presentation, I use the AvePoint Cloud Governance platform as an example of the types of things you should do to ensure your data is secure.
"A Taste of M365 Chicago" wrapped on Friday, June 4, 2021. It was amazing, and exhausting. And I wouldn't have done it any other way.
