Product Spotlight: Delve
That is commonly the first question asked after a Delve session is delivered at a Microsoft event! Would love to know if there is an on-demand version of your training? I'd like to check it out.
I don't have access to the material anymore unfortunately but it was a straight forward approach. It was direct in addressing that Devle is personalised for every user and what you see, isn't what someone else will see, as such.
That was a key point because staff saw a mix of their own documents and other people's documents side by side, some thought their files were not secure. Also explaining how Delve picks up on signals, who you work with and how you collaborate to surface the most relevant information, again I think helped quite a bit.
Devle I think will expose your IA sometimes to possible unintentional consequences, where perhaps the permission model that has been implemented isn't always as strong as you thought but that's not Delve's fault and is correctable!

Totally! If anything Delve is helping people be more vigilant about the security of the documents they share. And it is a huge timesaver for me too. Instead of having to wait for someone to get back to me, or back from vacation, I can easily find that slide deck they shared with me previously. No more 'Can you please share the deck with me?' - it's already available to those I set permissions to share it with.
Couldn't agree more! Big fan of Delve, it's so adept at gathering useful resources together. The Windows 10 app is nice as well, I found it made working with Office 365 even more convenient.
Going back to the wider point about potential resistance to Delve, there can be a leaning to simply turning it off in more extreme cases. As well as being able to opt-out, disabling Office Graph is such a drastic step though removing much of Office 365's cleverness, hopefully, most organizations don't go that far.
