M365 Chicago

Viva - McCormick Place

Viva Connection integration with SharePoint enables a dynamic, engaging, and personalized employee experience for your organization. 
These innovations power the intelligent workplace, where teams can collaborate and streamline workflows, organizations can engage employees and communicate effectively, and individuals can be more creative and productive with experiences and insights powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
In this session I will explain setting up Viva connections using SharePoint and integrating with Microsoft Teams.
Also explore how the Developers can extend Microsoft Viva Connections for building engaging experiences with the widely adopted SharePoint Framework (SPFx).

******************************
Objectives and key results (OKRs) is a goal-setting framework originally introduced by Andrew Growe in the 1970s. The framework has been used to support success of many large enterprises, like Google, Intel, and the Gates Foundation. Viva Goals is a tool to manage, follow and update an organization's OKRs.

In this session, we will take a look at the basics of the OKR framework, what implementing OKRs means to an organization, and how Viva Goals is used for managing OKRs. We will explore the features of Viva Goals, how to set it up for your organization, and what integrations are currently available.

After this session, you will understand what OKRs are and how you can start using Viva Goals to implement OKRs in your organization.

Use the power of AI and machine learning with Microsoft Syntex to help innovate and automate business processes. Syntex when initially released focussed on classifying and extracting metadata but now there is much more such a Content Assembly, Image Tagging, Advanced Metadata search etc...

In this session we will take a deep dive into Contract management and show you how you can use Microsoft Syntex to manage the Contract lifecycle in your organisation. Manage contracts with automatic tagging, approval workflows, automatic document generation and lifecycle management.

I will also discuss the Content Lifecycle and how Microsoft Syntex with it's automation can help at every stage of the content lifecycle in your organisation. Initially classifying and extracting metadata to now generating documents in response to the metadata extracted.

At the end of this session you have a good grasp of Microsoft Syntex and it's capabilities for contract management and I will show you a great integrated use case. This scenario could then be rebuilt and adapted to meet many common business scenarios by using AI and machine learning to make work better!


Contracts Management with Microsoft Syntex

There has never been a time where improving the employee experience has been more critical. Organizations need new and innovative approaches and solutions as work and the workforce change. Today, every organization shares a need to enhance how we communicate and engage, collaborate and connect, and manage and develop employees. The question that is often hard to answer is, what is the best way to meet that growing need?

Join industry expert and Microsoft MVP Richard Harbridge and award-winning Digital Workplace strategist Brandon Pittman as they share insight into the future of employee communication, employee collaboration, and employee management, and perhaps more importantly, what organizations are doing today to prepare for it.

Getting The Most Out Of Microsoft 365 Employee Experience: Today & Tomorrow

In this session you will learn about Viva Goals, which recently made its debut as part of the Viva platform. You will learn about how you can set up OKR's (objectives and key results) for your organization and your team. This enables measurable tracking by users toward larger, organization-wide goals.

Intro to Viva Goals

Viva Goals is not another project-tracking tool. We'll see it used to do things other project-tracking tools can't do. We'll learn the best practices from a large software company (Contoso?).

Viva Goals Practical Uses

Learn to take your PDF or Word version of an employee handbook or even some of the employee resources to the next level.
In this session we will walk through the steps in SharePoint to turn documents into searchable, engaging, and informational web pages.
Finish this off with a great landing page and table of contents that will keep your employees coming back for more.
