End of an era. Proud of what we created, but time to move on. Best of luck to the new team going forward! bctechnology.com/news/2020/8…
Shameless plug. My take on how to increase user adoption of content services. ow.ly/SY2130nv3Uc #collabtalk
A7 Measure. Modify. Repeat. #collabtalk

A6: Analytics on “in app” stream of gestures. Knowing what users are doing, when they are doing it, helps to understand behavior. #collabtalk
A5. #collabtalk I think the process of increasing adoption can take inspiration from Geoff Moore’s Crossing the Chasm work. Here’s a paper that explains what I mean. ow.ly/oWWc30nv2Mp
A5: Set goals and constantly measure changes in behaviour. Build an MVP. Modify environment to improve results over time. #collabtalk
A4: People aren’t productive if the tools get in the way. Poorly designed tools that emphasize governance over usability will fail. #collabtalk
A2: I believe biggest impact is abandonment by sponsors because the initiative gets a bad reputation, followed by withdrawal of funding, then cancellation. Or worse, it just becomes the walking wounded. #collabtalk
A2: Set goals. Measure behavior. Track changes in daily usage, quantity of info stored/retrieved, tools used. Update. Repeat. #collabtalk

A1: Adoption means employees are doing the right things, regularly and without putting a hammer over their heads. #collabtalk

Thanks for being our gracious host as always @buckleyplanet. Hope to see everyone soon. #CollabTalk
A7: Would like to see more integration and customization of data governance capabilities and extension to hybrid scenarios. Exciting possibilities. #CollabTalk

A6: Look to OOB apps from Microsoft first, but if they don't solve the whole problem, look at partners. There are lots of great solutions from the community #CollabTalk
Replying to @diverdown1964
A5 Also some government and healthcare organizations have to keep data on-prem. #CollabTalk

A5: Almost all of our customers are in some sort of hybrid transition. Often painful and messy. I wish it would go faster! #CollabTalk
A4: Would like to see better support of hybrid scenarios. We have a lot of customers making the transition to cloud from on-prem and they are reluctant to do customizations that don't transition well. #CollabTalk
