IHow to} Implementing seamless Group Governance while Working from Home

An entire ecosystem of applications that integrate with Microsoft Teams has made it the primary tool for inner loop collaboration. In some cases, it became the reason for eliminating the use of other forms of communication. Some workers, ‘set in their ways’, may hesitate to leverage tools that increase productivity.

But it is in an organization’s best interest to realize the benefits of improved communication. You can do this by educating your staff. Start with reducing their dependency on email for collaboration and replacing it with a tool like Microsoft Teams.

• Shun the use of email for inner loop communications
• Share files from shared repositories, not as email attachments
• When collaborating on files, use a shareable repository which automatically maintains versioning and history
• Schedule all internal meetings with Teams

You or members of your organization will need to adopt new methodologies when:

• Your internal communications to teammates take place through Outlook instead of Teams
• You are sending emails attachments to co-workers instead of shared links, thus, not taking advantage of document fidelity in https://bit.ly/3y1Mz6F
• You are placing collaborative files in local storage with no copy on the cloud, thus, not exposed to Microsoft Delve orhttps://www.imanami.com/insights/?utm_source=mstechcommunity&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=qa-teamsspacepostGroupID Insights
• You are not leveraging access entitlements through lists, groups, or Teams
• Your company works on or maintains multiple versions/copies of the same file rather than using a document history of shared files
• You are including new recipients in an email thread or forwarding a message – creating message thread ‘forks’ instead of conversational threading of Teams.
