Maximise Investment in MS‑Teams

MS-Teams is a unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) platform. The technology was designed to provide seamless communication across a geographically dispersed workforce.

However, it’s capable of much more than video calls and messaging. UC&C tools can improve visibility across organisations, break down silos and facilitate a highly connected and organised workforce. Apps linked to MS-Teams can offer visual displays, live project updates, key performance metrics, time saving automation and a framework for innovation and growth.

Greater visibility provides the oversight for managers to feel secure in evolving from a centralised command and control leadership style, to one that supports people to find smarter ways to work and trusts them to get the job done. At the same time everyone can see the impact of their work within the organisation, which empowers teams to continuously improve.

In short, benefits include:

Managing projects more easily
Large increases in productivity
Unlocking creativity of staff and improved employee engagement
Easily manage flexible working
Faster and smarter innovation

However, anyone who Googles successful MS-Teams implementation will find information on configuring governance and compliance, data migration and a list of Apps to consider.

To build a more profitable, innovative and enjoyable workplace requires modernisation of management processes. Recreating twentieth-century working practices in a digital world doesn’t work. Managing work digitally is its own unique domain.

Recommendation

"I had the great pleasure of working with Michael on the Reach4Project at Buckinghamshire Disability Service Charity. As project leader Michael had an excellent understanding and grasp of Agile Project Management and virtual working. His implementation of these techniques combined with the imaginative and knowledgeable use of Microsoft Teams software and supplementary apps made for a very successful project outcome. Michael’s emotional intelligence working with people with disabilities was outstanding and led to the moulding of a very successful team.

Michael is an innovator, subject matter expert and leader in the field of using Agile Project Management techniques. By using collaborative software and apps (such as Microsoft Teams and allied Microsoft family apps) Michael has been able to create a flexible and highly organised environment. His approach removed the barriers which often prevent people with disabilities from succeeding in the workplace, (a pool of talent that is numerous and untapped). His deep understanding of this resource and being able to lead within it, makes Michael a unique and highly valuable asset."
