Yammer: More Than Just A Communication Tool

Ragnar Heil — Tue, 27 Feb 2018 18:38:21 GMT

New Yammer Group Types Foster Collaboration

Yammer is currently launching a new feature which helps to categorize new and existing Yammer Groups according to different usage scenarios like Inform & Discuss, Connect & Learn and Plan & Work. It is going to inspire and encourage customers not only to have water cooler conversations on Yammer, but also collaborate on projects and create a culture of sharing knowledge. During my time at Microsoft, I was subscribed to more than 400 Yammer groups at a certain time (then I did some tidy up-work and went down to 150). Nevertheless, it was challenging to get an overview because the left navigation did not show all the groups, only the ones I interacted with the most. Today, when creating a new internal or external Yammer group, you can choose the category from the start, or set categories for existing groups. The main benefit here is that all categorized groups are assigned to the right category which has a major positive impact on the left navigation. Hope you find this useful! Find more detail in the support article here. As mentioned, Yammer is a place to work across departments, hierarchies, countries and other boundaries to collaborate and accomplish team objectives. Below, I included an example of how to use Yammer to create a Global Sales Group. You can customize this framework to meet your business needs.

Plan & Work: A Global Sales Business Case Example

Group Name: Global Sales

1. Purpose of the Group: The objective of this group is to bridge communication between the different sales departments, creating a “One Sales” spirit for the global enterprise by Working Out Loud.

2. Out of Scope: This is a public but internal collaboration group for the Global Sales team. For closed conversations, you might want to consider using Microsoft Teams. If you want to collaborate externally and your customers and partners are not using Office 365, then consider working with Outlook Groups.

3. Activities and Deliverables:

ACTIVITIES:
- ALL Sales topics will be discussed in this Yammer group; pillars include Opportunities, Sales Cycles, Demand Generation Activities, CRM Data using Yammer Connectors, Global Sales Support and Sales Training
- Consistency is the main objective
  - All conversations about this project shall be included in this group.
  - Guide your colleagues to leverage Yammer for all of the below; i.e. if you receive an email, respond from email to Yammer group to ensure others understand we are trying to remain consistent with our communication plan
- Examples of what type of information to be posted are:
  - Ask Questions to Sales colleagues
  - Reporting Issues and/or Reporting Solutions
  - Brainstorm or ad hoc topics
  - Weekly update by Core Team Members about Sales Blocker and Updates
  - “Yam Slam” Session Q&A documents by Group Leader
  - Weekly (minimum) check-in update, announcement, or praise post by Key Group members
  - Share Best Practices like: Tips and tricks that saved time and effort or recommendations for innovative solutions

4. Success Metrics:

Participation of x resources using Yammer to find: solutions, post questions, share best practices, and save time by using a central location for communication
Yammer Polls
Yammer’s Group analytics
New Yammer Counts, embedded in each posting

5. Key Roles and Responsibilities:

Group Sponsor:

Works closely with the group leader to charter and champion the network, spend time coaching them if needed
Holds group leader and group members responsible for outlined activities, deliverables, and success metrics
Sets goals and related performance criteria for the network with the group leader
Fosters widespread interest and enthusiasm for knowledge sharing and group participation
Directs and presents the strategic input of the community to Sales and extended leadership, like Executives/Senior Management
Ensures group activities are recognized and rewarded

Group Leader:

Monitors and facilitates group activity (e.g. conversations) and ensures members are participating at agreed upon outlined activities, deliverables, and success metrics
Partners with the group sponsor to ensure the group is meeting individual and business segment needs
Identifies areas for improvement (such as benchmarking)
Communicates group purpose, roles, and responsibilities to members
Provides a link between the strategies of the group and the strategies of the global integration team as needed
Collaborates with core members to continually refine the group purpose and activities
Develops relevant success measures for the group
Encourages group participation through regular alerts, content pushes, and rewards for participation

Core Team:

Serves a critical role in expanding the group community and encouraging participation; builds and acts as regional sponsors and engages local and regional members in knowledge-sharing activities
Actively participates in and steers group activities and conversations under the guidance of the group sponsor and leader
Provides a link between the strategies of the group and the strategies of the Global Sales team as needed
Engages as “local group coordinators” to get subject matter experts involved in knowledge-sharing activities as needed
Expands the number of members with expertise and aligns Subject Matter Experts to project challenges while encouraging them to keep active
Shares updates, knowledge, best practices, lessons learned, and praise in the Sales Yammer site
Leverages network relationships to get information and assistance to meet outlined metrics and timetable for a successful project
Provides input to the group leader and group core team on group improvements

Thank You!

Thank you very much, Lillian Diaz, Social Collaboration Service Owner, from Lubrizol for providing a template of this Business Plan!

My Review of European SharePoint, Office 365 and Azure Conference 2017 in Dublin

Ragnar Heil — Thu, 30 Nov 2017 09:16:39 GMT

My Review of European SharePoint, Office 365, & Azure Conference 2017 I recently had the pleasure to attend the European SharePoint, Office 365, & Azure Conference (ESPC) in Dublin, Ireland. It was a fantastic experience for all of the attendees, partners, and sponsors, and it was undoubtedly the largest SharePoint conference in Europe! ESPC 2017 was filled with expert sessions, meaningful networking, and plenty of unforgettable experiences. Jeff Teper, Corporate Vice President of Office, SharePoint, and OneDrive, mentioned during his keynote that there is hardly a culture in the tech industry as committed and passionate as the SharePoint community. He was especially proud that SharePoint received so much momentum after his “The Future of SharePoint: May the 4th Be with You” event! In this blog post, I will summarize my personal highlights based on the sessions I’ve attended and share some of my key takeaways from ESPC. Here’s my snapshot review of ESPC 2017! What’s New and Upcoming to SharePoint? Social Capabilities With SharePoint, it’s all about moving from “My Office” to an “Our Office” mindset. Dan Holme (Director of Product Marketing SharePoint and OneDrive) and Christopher McNulty (Sr. Product Marketing Manager) mentioned that social capabilities will now be a part of the Office apps, including engagement views and likes on each page. Users can expect co-authoring activities as a major strength of this suite and save pages to read later under the new Me tab. Holme and McNulty also showed that opening and editing documents is now much faster on the web with Azure BLOB. Teams Teams integration into a SharePoint site will continue to improve, with PowerApps, Flow, and Forms demonstrating how easy it is to create approvals processes in SharePoint. Additionally, SharePoint News will now be a part of Teams, and Planner, Forms, and Connector will be added to team sites. New Features

Bring your own key
New SharePoint Admin Center
Single endpoint in Graph
Support for multi-geo regions to decrease latency and regional compliance requirements
Short look into FP2 for SharePoint Server 2016

To sum up what’s new and upcoming in SharePoint, Jeff Teper shared how SharePoint and OneDrive connects the Modern Workplace with intelligent content management and intranets: What’s New and Upcoming to OneDrive for Business? Files on Demand Let’s imagine that you’re working from a tablet or a smartphone. With Files on Demand, you can now download documents for offline usage (e.g. on a plane) without syncing a complete folder. To supplement this feature, you can now share documents without a required Microsoft account. However, to ensure the compliance and security of sensitive information, Code Verification confirms via email that you have received proper access to the requested document. File Type Previews Stephen Rose (Product Marketing Manager of OneDrive) emphasized that OneDrive will now offer 277 different file type previews. This is especially helpful for 3D desktop applications (which you may not have installed), considering the thumbnail preview can render and turn in 3D. These file type previews will also embed into new SharePoint Communication Sites! Machine Learning in a Microsoft Ecosystem Naomi Moneypenny (Sr. Product Marketing Manager of SharePoint and OneDrive) talked about the new pre-active search experience, where users can get recommendations and an increased experience of Serendipity. Now, you can not only search through receipts with Azure Cognitive Services OCR and better filters, but you can search for people with the new LinkedIn and Bing integration. In addition to these new features, users can connect with relevant colleagues directly within the search results with chat, email, and Skype integrations. A.I. & Machine Learning in the Modern Workplace Metalogix CEO Trevor Hellebuyck built a bridge during his session around Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and their relevance in the Modern Workplace. He demoed Azure Cognitive Services and explained important use cases for fraud detection, security, and data protection. Essentially, he stated that intelligent sensitive content management based on Machine Learning is going to play a major role in the future of the hybrid workplace, especially around the GDPR implementation in May 2018. What Developers Need to Know About the SharePoint Landscape A Google developer was on stage at the conference using an Apple MacBook to demo Angular and Typescript, which is something you would not have seen a few years ago. There was definitely a lot of excitement from the community! In my opinion, the major improvements in Development and Management Tools for SharePoint Framework include: Deployment

ALM APIs
Site collection app catalog
Asset packaging

Development

Angular elements sample
Tenant properties

Upcoming

SharePoint FP2
SPFx and Angular
SharePoint Framework Workbench 2.0
SharePoint 2019

Conclusion Now that the 2017 European SharePoint, Office 365, and Azure Conference has come to a close, there is a lot to look forward to in the coming year. If you’d like to learn more about the key takeaways from ESPC 2017, check out my panel webinar with Microsoft MVPs Alistair Pugin and Vlad Catrinescu!
