Learn Viva Amplify: 8 lesson walk through
Hey communicators. With the release of Viva Amplify I recorded a 1 hour walk through to help us all get started. Or help organisations considering using Amplify to see what it's like. Whether it's your full-time role or one of the functions of your position, Amplify provides a way for us to create, coordinate, publish and report on our communications across multiple channels. As first release, it's quite functional. It makes smart use of a team for your campaign, the Amplify app for creating and coauthoring publications. The distribution channels help us reach our audiences where they are. We can only publish to the places we have access to. Reporting gives us views and some information about how people have responded to, reacted to, or promoted the publication. If you have access to Amplify, what do you think of it? Share your first impressions. If you are interested in seeing the walk-through, you'll find a playlist with 8 lessons to step through in your own timing.

I've seen a few posts on LI recently around the use of SharePoint in IC and associated frustrations. Full disclosure, I'm a diehard advocate of SharePoint but would be the first to admit what it does well - perhaps best - is information management. That said, SharePoint Online is a huge improvement on earlier iterations. To fully exploit the features of SharePoint you need to understand the nuances of audience targeting and Microsoft groups, metadata to increase your search capabilities and lifecycle retention so the Christmas Jumper competition circa 1997 doesn't surface in your feed. In-house SharePoint training has become a unicorn and online tutorials are rarely targeted at specific problems. So, just how technically savvy do communicators need to be to use their SharePoint based intranets effectively - and more importantly - is this something they see as part of their role? Should SharePoint (out of the box) provide more intuitive features or bells and whistles in the way third party "wrappers" do, or is there just a huge gap in training offerings? I'm writing an article for Reworked on this topic and would love to get the Microsoft and communications community perspective. 🤲Starting in 30 minutes!!!
