Re-imagining Productive Work with Microsoft Office 365 Michael Sampson
Michael Sampson is an author, analyst and advisor to organisations on the impact of technology and new approaches to work. A keynote speaker at the Auckland Digital Workplace Conference in 2016, Michael’s presentation “Change Management for Digital Transformation” was the basis for a recent Peritia blog.
The digital model of cloud delivered application and platform services, combined with the significant areas of functional overlap and pace of change that are characteristic of Office 365, can be overwhelming to business and IT leaders alike.
In this book, Michael manages to deliver up to date content that clarifies the capabilities of Office 365 and will assist organisations in developing a common language and mutual understanding between IT Service Providers, Decision Makers and End Users.
Michael’s ability to simplify complex technology topics is why we are comfortable in recommending this book to business and IT leadership readers alike. The book is available in PDF format downloadable from Michael’s website at a very reasonable cost (and in line with digital trends, a free extract is available to try before you buy - a generous 79 pages).
We are thinking about...
Michael shifts the traditional focus “applications and what they can do” toward identifying how an appropriate implementation of Office 365 can improve productivity and performance in eight key areas:
- Embracing Hands-off IT
- Storing and Sharing files
- Profiling Employee Expertise
- Co-Authoring Documents
- Managing Meetings
- Holding discussions
- Running Team Projects
- Thinking Productively
We like Michael’s customer centric approach and his open advocacy for clear thinking, good decision making, creating business value and ensuring the effective use of technologies and capabilities.
The approach presented in the book provides a powerful framework for creating mutual understanding and implementing new technologies that will be useful beyond the boundaries of Office 365.
Take Action on Microsoft Office 365
If you are thinking about moving to Office 365, or are frustrated by the outcome of an existing Office 365 implementation, we highly recommend that you read, or dip into, Michael Sampson’s book.
Peritia’s approach is closely aligned with Michael’s approach and recommendations. If you would like to explore our thinking in relation to your business or organisation, please feel free to contact us.
