The Problem
5. Work on
Docs in
Office
3. Create
Yammer
Group
1. Start
Project/
Initiative
2. Create
SharePoint
site for
Docs
4. Create
meetings
in Outlook
• Best case scenario is still
a governance nightmare
• Compliance in
SharePoint ignores social
streams
• Email/attachments and
related conversations is
valuable IP, and usually
lost
“The world has become a giant network!”
Yet, we continue to work like we always have.
Triage vs. Discovery
Why I’m excited again…
What’s Coming Up?
Work like a network
“Integrated set of social, collaboration, and communication

Enterprise Social and the future of work
• Creating Inline Social Experiences

systems
– Yammer
conversations to docs
in SP Online and
OneDrive for
Business
– Post updates, documents, emails to Yammer from SP Online and Outlook

Enterprise Social and the future of work
• Groups
– Will unify people, profiles,
conversations, email, calendars,
and files across the entire set of
Office 365 applications
– Work in Outlook, Yammer,
SharePoint
– Groups open by default, but can
be made private
– No more reliance on OOTB
SharePoint team sites!

What should I do now?
I don’t use any
Enterprise Social
I use SharePoint social
functionality
I don’t have Office 365
I already use Yammer
Go
Yammer!
I know I promised no strategy…
• Have you created your enterprise social
Information Management strategy?
• How does social fit in with how you plan to
work with devices, cloud, apps, records,
search, BI?
Questions??
