The challenge for O365 adoption, is that the overwhelming parts, tend to overshadow the value part. Hence the reason I believe we need to be transparent about the obstacles and leverage various resources including change management practices to guided us successfully through the transition.
Read MoreOffice 365? Great for Documents—Not so Much for Employee Communication
In this article, Frank Wolf—from the mobile-first employee communication platform Staffbase—explores the effectiveness of Office 365, especially as it relates to employee communication and adoption.

Read MoreNo more culture change programs. We need a culture revolution
Gallup found 90% of people in Western Europe are not engaged at work. If their study was conducted in the early 1800’s, during the first wave of industrialization which pushed millions of people into unrelenting factory jobs, you might expect it.

The trick is to stretch the comfort zone, by inviting reflection and growth, in small steps.
Read MoreThe futility of meetings. Is the future workplace meeting-free?
