How to Achieve 90% Microsoft Teams Adoption in Three Months

Session Code: THR1131

Adopting a new piece of software rarely goes smoothly without some professional assistance. Microsoft Teams in particular has a wide range of functionality. It’s a customizable and extensible hub for your team to collaborate in a way that best suits you. With that said, it’s very possible that your users might find Teams’ format a bit difficult to pick up.

In this session I’ll be teaming up with Kimberley Morrison of Arriva to on three major points to help you have a successful adoption:

• What does the modern work landscape look like today? How do people work, and what is the nature of running a global business?
• What exactly is Microsoft Teams and why is it such a powerful collaboration tool?
• How can you drive sustainable adoption and really hit that 90% mark in three months?

Improve Firstline Workforce Collaboration with Office 365

Session Code: BRK1091

Firstline workers face a unique set of challenges when out in the field. They’re typically disconnected from the rest of the team/company, may be left behind on the latest training and procedures, and could be working with outdated or even obsolete tools.

Despite these limitations, firstline workers play an essential role in many industries including retail, construction, and manufacturing. They’re the first ones to interact with customers and represent your brand. Enabling them to work as efficiently as possible can only help your business thrive.

In this session, Kimberley Morrison and I will walk you through how collaborative software like Teams, Yammer and PowerApps can unite your workforce and empower your firstline colleagues.
