What is your Digital Workplace strategy?
![Page 5: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Turn the Promises of the Digital Workplace to Reality by David Roehttp://www.cmswire.com/digital-workplace/turn-the-promises-of-the-digital-workplace-to-reality/
“In a recent CMSWire series of interviews with digital workplace
specialists, some common elements and themes emerged. One of the most
consistent is the belief that the best digital workplaces take a synergistic approach to fulfilling the wants and
needs of people through processes and technologies.”
![Page 6: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Sharon O'Dea, an independent digital strategy consultant, specializes in intranets, social media and digital engagement. She defines the digital workplace as the place where work gets done, connecting people through an ecosystem of tools so they can be productive, informed and engaged, wherever they are.“First, it’s a means of communication top-down, bottom-up and, increasingly, peer-to-peer. Content in its myriad forms, from published pages to snippets of conversation, is the lifeblood of the digital workplace and the digital workplace is what makes that content accessible, findable and usable,” she told CMSWire.The digital workplace should also provide a gate to an organization’s knowledge while at the same time enabling organizations so that intellectual capital to be effectively captured and shared with others as more of it is produced.
Thankfully, he continues:

What is the right solution for your org?

Teams are scrambling to find the right tools and technologies to fit their cultural needs
What we know is that the traditional intranet approach has failed to deliver what we need
![Page 37: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
CULTURE IS KEY
![Page 38: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

BUT NOT WITHOUT
CONTROL OR GUIDANCE

Enterprise collaboration requirements can be complex
Your ultimate goal is to support the entire company
However, different teams and business units often have competing priorities
In an attempt to satisfy everyone, the reality is that most planning efforts fail to satisfy anyone
![Page 42: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Any organization that wants to deploy a digital workplace, with enterprise
collaboration at its center, would benefit from a systems-based planning approach
![Page 43: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Systems-Based Planning What is needed is an iterative, strategic, and systems-based approach:
Identifying core business use cases and challenges at the team level Identifying use cases and challenges at the company level Performing a gap analysis between team and company levels Mapping out current state, and desired future state Working with key stakeholders to identify appropriate strategies and priorities Instituting (or reinforcing) the stakeholder review and change management
process
This approach drives stakeholder engagement, and ensures a more holistic solution that aligns with the needs of the business at every level.
![Page 44: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
![Page 45: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Minimized Methodology Engaging leaders in a systems analysis,
identifying high-priority needs and challenges Outlining a set of targeted and strategic actions
based on common customer scenarios Developing an implementation plan to support
successful operational and improvement strategies
![Page 46: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Minimized MethodologyAt a very high level, it is about: Assessing where you are Envisioning where you want to be Devising an implementable path to take you from “here to
there”
![Page 47: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
As project complexity increases, the ability for individual participants to maintain sight of the larger vision and whole will often decrease.
![Page 48: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Where is your focus?
![Page 49: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Focus on Key Business Problems Many transformative efforts fail because key users decide to “play
with the tools” rather than take the planning process seriously.
The lack of goals and purpose quickly leads to low levels of engagement and superficial usage. Without clear goals and engaged users, you’ll never gain a clear assessment of the end results.
Take it seriously. You will be using other people’s time to make your decisions on how to move forward. Make good use of their time – and yours.
![Page 50: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
What does success look like?
![Page 51: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
If you haven’t defined the end result, how do you
know when you’ve reached it?
![Page 52: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
How will you decide if your transformation is successful?
Know your evaluation criteria before you start!
Set specific goals and indicators related to your business goals.
Put in place mechanisms to collect data and measure your success (or failure…) at the end of each phase.
For example, if one of your business goals is to “reduce internal communication and email overload” you might measure success by:
Creating a baseline of current activity Measuring email volume today and then again after the pilot. Comparing the email open-to-read ratio Tracking the volume of “Likes” and other metrics based on the
collaboration features being used within your pilot.
![Page 53: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
• Activity within communities• Interest in content, keywords, ideas• Level of engagement• Overall platform adoption• Measuring the increase in innovation• Decreasing the cycle of new
product introduction• Sharing of content and expertise
What does this mean within enterprise collaboration?
![Page 54: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Make it part of your ongoing support model
Due to the fluid nature of enterprise collaboration, organizations today find that implementing a true change management program to monitor and adjust based on analysis is critical.
Formation of a ‘Center of Excellence’ to both manage change and administrate your platforms is becoming the standard approach.
![Page 55: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Culture is Important
![Page 56: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Wrap-Up
![Page 57: The Nuts and Bolts of Teams, Groups and Conversation as-a-Service](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ed98da1a28aba4738b466d/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
In my personal experience, what works is: Focus on specific business problems – and clear outcomes. Make governance and change management the priority. Look at your systems holistically, understanding both
company-wide and line of business needs – and the gaps between them.
Be prepared to regularly iterate on your strategy. Organic growth through pilots is the most sustainable model
for successful enterprise collaboration.
