Piloting Viva Amplify in our environment with 50 licenses
Thank you so much, Liz, for the demo and for helping us to use this amazing platform. The platform is user-friendly, and we have experienced minimal issues. Distribution Channel- Outlook: after drafting a campaign, when I put a user in BCC, the popup message shows user is not valid, and it doesn’t allow me to move forward. It only allows users in the To and CC fields for Outlook messages. It would be great if Amplify allowed us to create templates based on our design, organization color, and themes and reuse them later. We can’t copy/duplicate the existing draft campaign. It would be great if Microsoft introduced this functionality, like the SharePoint page creation. Thank you!Solved403Views0likes1Comment
Viva Amplify Setup Issues
I'm a little confused on why Viva Amplify isn't working correctly. I've assigned an account explicit M365 Groups and SP Admin roles (the accounts is already a global admin), but when I load the app it just says the account doesn't have access. I used the setup wizard to assign the roles. Is there something I'm missing?Solved627Views0likes1CommentWhere are you (and your competitors) on the digital workplace journey?
I don't expect anyone to read every word about my digital workplace journey in this https://www.boye-co.com/blog/2023/6/expert-of-the-month-lesley-crook, but it does explain how and why I moved from being an IC Pro 7 years ago to working as a Cloud Consultant/MVP. I have a passion for helping all kinds of organizations by assessing current IC frustration and challenges, then through learned expertise and knowledge, recommending/designing user adoption training with ADKAR change management. When ADKAR is managed well, you can tune a business culture without disrupting the workforce and swiftly improve productivity, engagement, and digital wellbeing. If you have the inclination more here. https://www.boye-co.com/blog/2023/6/expert-of-the-month-lesley-crook What has surprised me is that my journey has been surprisingly unique - and in this fast-moving social media influencer age, IC professionals have NOT taken more interest in not just writing comms but publishing, nurturing networks and keeping pace with new tech at their fingertips. But I guess that also goes down to your working relationships with your IT partners. I always prioritized this as an IC partner - asking for better tools to get the messages out. Often though staff seek out and use on a grand scale "Shadow IT" products instead like WhatsApp or personal SMS which contravenes most HR policies. I've become a "generalist specialist” with broad range of skills and knowledge and deep expertise in one or more specific areas. With the new Viva Amplify expected to be globally available Q4 this year with built-in grammar, AI writing suggestions, formats SharePoint News as a preview, to edit and approve, with a built in workflow approval process and more! I hope this inspires more to share their knowledge and bridge skills gaps between being a "journalist," business leader, or digital workplace SharePoint expert etc. Note: New license is just $2 per monthly user with other IC products like Viva Engage & Connections in the bundle. Am I unique? Where are you on your digital workplace journey. There are many experts here safely Working Out Loud offering kind and generous support. Are you a Generalist Specialist?Solved1.7KViews4likes8Comments
