Changing the entire world is hard but making a better #DigitalWorkplace helps improve our working world. @KurtKragh kicking off #IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX Man on stage in front of mission statement at #IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX
@KurtKragh How do we make it simpler rather than adding complexity?How do we deliver tools to the front-line staff who need it the most?
How do we deliver more in a way that is easier and simpler than what we did last year? @james_steptwo #EuroDEX #IntraTeam20
So @james_steptwo says #intranets aren't sexy (I beg to differ) though he's not afraid of using the i-word #EuroDEX #IntraTeam20 Man on stage in front of a slide about the I word
Where are we at with our #intranet and where do we want to get to? #IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX Sliders with content comms culture collaboration & social activity
We've all had a #DigitalWorkplace in our organisation since email. So what's a great one like?
✅Usable
✅Seamless
✅Productive
✅For work
#IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX A digital workplace consists of the set of tools, platforms and environments for work @james_steptwo
DEX gives senior leaders something they can be passionate about #IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX

It's not about passion in *this room*.

It's about recognising the importance of supporting an org's people - making employee experience as important as that of the customer or service user Man on stage
The #DEX vision is best described in stories. You need a narrative to help sell your vision.

Personas and user journeys can help drive your #DigitalWorkplace strategy DEX vision, guiding principles, DEX initiatives to address key pain pointsA day in the life user journey
Dream big, deliver often.

Nice reminder rounding off a rousing keynote @james_steptwo #IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX
Some depressing stats @elsua - $330bn cost of employee burnout each year.

Technology can't solve our problems.

But data can show us how dysfunctional we are. And ask the tough questions.

Some interesting stuff @panagenda on using data to build stories #IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX
Mail, meetings and managers - 3 necessary evils of today's workplace?

Expose the dysfunction in your organisation.

Use your analytics to see which teams need interventions on emailing outside office hours?

V interesting case for #data @elsua

#MSTeams can be like your org's new silos.

Who are your hyperconnected people?

How do you visualise that and break down silos?

How do you know if your adoption is working?

Interesting use of smarter working dashboard showing Teams vs Mail. #IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX Where are your champions connected graphAre your digital adaptation efforts effective?Are your digital adaptation efforts effective?
Teams is where you work.

ESNs are where you learn.

Teams default to private.

ESNs are open. People can challenge your ideas. And work out loud. And share their expertise.

Conversations are the new way to get work done.

Use data to see how healthy that ESN is @elsua in front of an ESN dashboard
What do I want analytics to help me with?

What are my use cases?

What do I care about? What stories can I tell?

Don't get hung up on the metrics. It's easy to game the numbers.

Where are my users? What is valuable? What isn't?

Nice advice @elsua #data #analytics
Map your pain points.
Then how your new ways of working can help that.
Make benefits tangible and real for people.

And be patient. And persevere.
@elsua #IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX
You need to master the art of persuasion.

What guidance can you offer people to influence their ways of working?

It's about guiding people to make good decisions with their digital tools.

Rules impose on other people's ways of working.

@elsua #IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX
People love to own their shit.They don't like working out loud.

Show them good examples of collaborative content. Help model good behaviours.

People share a lot of shit content. Show how it can work well and help them be better!

Enjoying @elsua tips on adoption #IntraTeam20
Most intranet projects take 18-24 months and have nothing to show in the first year according to @jesperby #IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX
I've played Jesper's Intranet Governance Game before and now we're talking RPGs - put yourself in Jill's shoes and design what she needs on her #intranet homepage. Big Gamer Energy and I'm here for it #IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX

McDonald's in the Nordics has 85,000 job applications a year, & 10% recruitment rate.

They believe building a good digital employee experience is #1 way to be an attractive employer.

Big congrats to The Lego Group for picking up the @IntraTeam #IntraTeamPrisen 2020

While the benchmark didn't score as highly as the runner up, Velux, user feedback scores were much higher!

It's Day 2 (or 3, depending when you started) of #IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX and @KurtKragh is summarising yesterday's sessions.

Next we have Claus Kjeldsen on the future of work.

In the old days you could make good money being a futurist - now you can Google megatrends.

Megatrends is a long, steady path of change which is already happening.

#IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX Man on a stage in front of a slide saying the future of work - DEX in context
Short term vs long term - organisations need the correct focus and perspective.

Are orgs using the technology to improve the right things?

Are we putting our digital tools to work in the right context to improve our #DEX?

#IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX Graph grid showing efficiency vs effectiveness
Are we sabotaging our own success?

Insisting on doing everything through the right channels? Monologuing at our colleagues? Deferring to committees? Haggling over precise definitions?

No company can be sure they'll still be around in 10 years.

Kodak is still around but is a very different organisation to the one making camera film.

How can we support our organisations to transform?

#IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX Average lifespan of S&P companies 1960 - 2012 - from 60 to 18 years
From chain of command to (new to me term) #wirearchy leveraging the power of community - organisations are evolving into, or growing out of, new structures and ways of working.

#IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX From centralised to alternative organisational structures
Be world class at what YOU do. And use your network to find the world-class people you need to deliver the outcomes you need.

Interesting "extranet" use case for working with customers and external users

#IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX Extranet site added as a service
"We want to disrupt the business as little as possible. We want everyone to know about new features without being impacted by what Microsoft say is the biggest SharePoint migration in the world.

130,000 project sites - and about half of them (data-wise) are active."
#IntraTeam20 Challenge slide with Nina
Go live 1: front page, biz support, org sites.
New project sites are created on O365.
All O365 projects get Teams.

Go live 2:
Community sites with Yammer

Project sites will be moved, and users will have access to both.

#IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX Go live project timeline
During the transition users have links to both sites. Project divided into chunks of "how much we can migrate each weekend" with comms sent accordingly @ninanikolaisen

Front row seats (definitely not to heckle) @Wedge talking about #ContentDesign for a better #DigitalEmployeeExperience #IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX Wedge standing in front of a slide
Content design is about writing content which meets user needs, based on evidence.

Ask your employees, ask your customer service team, your HR business partners, your analytics.

All assumptions need testing, and some need smashing

#IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX #ContentDesign Content design principles - a sketch
Do a discovery to uncover new ideas at the beginning, not at the end.

Do enough research to know the problem, write user stories, write job stories, and define your acceptance criteria.

@Wedge #IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX Sketch which includes this job story is accepted when I know how to xxxx and complete the xxxx task
Nice skeleton @Wedge #NotAEuphemism
1. Lay out bullets
2. Reorder from must - to nice to know
3. Consider sub-headings
4. Draft a title

Factory people have taken to Yammer faster than MS Teams as it's open and easier to pick up. Some nice Yuse cases here 👇#IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX Use cases for Yammer
Be patient, adoption takes time.
Get to know your people - if you don't know what drives them, how can you reach them?

#IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX
Velux take good care of their community managers:
✅ Daily knowledge sharing on Yammer

Listening to @heather_ia talking about putting employees at the heart of your #DEX

#IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX DEX team owns O365 not intranet
The line between #DEX and employee experience is blurry, but interlinked

#IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX
Make sure your #DEX work looks at the broad employee life cycle context.

Zoom out, see where it fits.

Zoom in, how can you improve moments in the process.

#IntraTeam20 #EuroDEX Employee productivity cycle
Look at specific moments:

-what do they think, and feel?
-what does it look like today and where do we want to be - and how will we get there?

How can we help build empathy for our people?

Building a team responsible for #DEX strategy with professionals from a range of backgrounds can help tech teams better meet organisational needs.

I'm one of the empathetic techies @elsua 😁
