We are used to remote work scenarios due to the pandemic. But what will be after? Probably, not everybody will return to the office. This is the time of hybrid work and we need solutions to work together as a virtual team while having sub teams in the same location.
Collaborative apps can be part of the solution as they help us to feel as we all are together. Think about the effect of the Together Mode in Teams meetings and the fun while using the whiteboard app. There is so much more to come and so many options to build custom collaborative apps.

In this session we will focus on the following aspects:
- Challenges of hybrid work (in comparison to on-site and remote)
- Introduction: What are collaborative apps about and why should you think about using them?
- Live demo of different apps based on common use cases
- A brief look at the possibilites to build custom collaborative apps

Exchange Online Email Encryption – OME Versus Labels – Which One to Choose?

Technology is the easy part – it’s working with people that’s hard! Holding effective meetings, securing peoples’ time and attention, making decisions, and working on a team are all harder than they should be. Is it because everyone (else) just does things wrong? Or could it be that if we understood more about how the brain works and the different ways that people think, we could communicate more effectively? That’s the focus of this session: improving communication and building more effective teams through better understanding of the human brain. We will talk about the Whole Brain Model and learn more about the “toward” and “away” responses that guide nearly everything we do. In short, we will leverage neuroscience principles so we can all learn to communicate more effectively.
