Are we in deep work, or deep sh#t?
In this session we will discuss the love/hate relationship between deep work and Microsoft Teams - reviewing problems that can hinder productivity and impact people. We will also review core areas to recalibrate your organisation and people in 2024.

To use Teams shared channels, or not use shared channels - that is the question
Shared channels in Microsoft Teams come with the promise of reducing the friction of how people can collaborate between organisations, without tenant switching as guests.
But does it deliver on the promise?
In this session, Loryan will show how complex it actually is to establish this non-complex way of collaborating, as well as providing you with tooling to help you report on your own usage of shared channels, and a way to help explain what's possible to end-users that simply can't be done any other way.
This session is for both IT professionals as well as adoption teams.
Your one-size-fits-all approach is already failing, you just might not know it yet.
You implemented, ran training and expected success, and the metrics show you've delivered.
In reality, you barely moved the needle on how people work.
Measuring success with Microsoft Teams is more than just a number.
In this session we will present a repeatable approach to building a framework for your organisation assessing user capability across the key areas of Microsoft Teams to help drive meaningful success.
You'll walk away with the framework and tools to apply this in your organisation.

Adapting to change - the tech behind M365 May going online
It started out as a SharePoint Saturday, became an Office 365 Saturday, then a Microsoft 365 Saturday, but has evolved to the month-long event now known as M365 May.
Despite the identity crisis, there were a number of challenges to bring this event online. Notwithstanding the extraordinary effort co-ordinating more than 100 speakers, and 140 sessions, over 29 days, the technology behind the online event needed to scale, and needed to be easy to manage on a moment's notice.
Combining Microsoft Teams, with the online events co-ordination tool Sessionize, we quickly deployed a solution that allows attendees to select the sessions they want, and be sent to their sessions in Teams live events, Teams meetings, or even YouTube, when it's time to go live.
Loryan and Mark will take this opportunity to dive in to the tech that made this month-long event possible. Serverless compute to process requests, data storage to augment already existing data, and globally distributed content via Microsoft CDN. All this brought the best of the SaaS world together, with a custom build, low code solution.
A Centre of Excellence approach managing Microsoft Teams across your organisation
Implementing Microsoft Teams is just the beginning. How do you continually handle decisions, guidance and support across the ongoing feature updates and enhancements?
We will use real recent features or updates as examples to walk you through a process to help understand, assess, and prepare the organisation including involving key stakeholders and making decisions around Microsoft Teams for your organisation, including the content required to support end-users.
The importance of Windows 10, OneDrive, SharePoint and Microsoft Teams together
Did you know how important it is for users to be running Windows 10 build 1709 or above for Microsoft Teams adoption? No? Then you need to come to this session, where we cover the crucial correlation between Windows 10, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams.
By attending this session you'll migrate off your file shares faster, drive greater levels of usage, improve staff work/life balance, and ultimately drive greater success with Microsoft Teams. Don't think it's possible? Come along, you'll see!
