Today’s workplace is book-ended by generations with very different experiences. Add to that the fact that more and more businesses operate globally and must bring together teams with cultural and geographical distances as well. So how do organizations manage this divide between generations, cultures, and geographies?
Learn effective strategies for creating a modern workplace environment that helps workers understand how to work better together and how Office 365 can help them overcome hurdles:
- Cultural sensitivity – Sharing and creating awareness around cultural differences that can also help drive understanding of global customers
- Social distance – Building relationships and trust across geographically dispersed or generationally diverse teams
- Communication and tone – Understanding how different cultures and generations share information or receive feedback to drive inclusivity and productivity
10.00 – 11.00 – Placing people at the heart of your Microsoft Teams roll-out
It is people – our colleagues – who determine whether the digital workplace really succeeds. The priority must be on driving business value through better collaboration, workforce mobility and improved customer satisfaction. How? By building IT around what your colleagues need to deliver relevant business outcomes.
Sustainable adoption is a key factor in successfully deploying Microsoft Teams, as people are at the heart of any technology transformation program. In this session we will explore best practice change management techniques and discuss practical solutions to putting people first.

Step Two: Making it easy for people to do the right thing in your modern workplace.
With the ease of use and simplicity of Microsoft Teams, you couldn’t care less what the technical inner workings are and where data is stored. However, it’s not as simple as that under the hood.
Microsoft Teams stores data in Exchange, Stream, Groups, SharePoint, and OneDrive for Business with some locations hidden and some not. It can even store data in third-party locations, like Dropbox, Google Docs, and others if you choose to enable those features.
