Office 365 – collaborating successfully through Microsoft Teams
Sign up for the workshop livestream here (must be logged in to view):
Microsoft’s suite of services can be found throughout many organisations across the globe. With the launch and creation of Office 365, Microsoft has integrated its most used applications such as Outlook, Word, and many more bundled into one large service. Globally, 120 million businesses make use of Office 365, a cloud-based, subscription model giving users the ability to be truly dynamic and collaborative.
However, Microsoft’s product offering can be a minefield to some employees, in particular to educating users on the differences and benefits that Office 365 brings from the traditional office package (pre-cloud).
In this workshop you will gain an understanding about how each of these tools are used and their product benefits.
What you will learn at this workshop:
- How to create and use MS Teams as an effective collaboration tool for practical work
- Importance of sharing and co-authoring files and how to embed a collaborative digital culture, moving away from email as a source of truth
- How to successfully drive productivity through MS Teams and what KPIs can be measured
- Collaborating with external suppliers
