Agree or Disagree?   🌐 “The medium is the message.” - Marshall McLuhan 🌐 [Part 1]   In today’s digital age, the tools we use to communicate shape the way we work and collaborate. Microsoft 365 exemplifies this perfectly, offering a suite of tools that go beyond just delivering content—they shape the very context and urgency of our messages:   📧 Email: A thoughtful, detailed medium for non-urgent communication, perfect for in-depth discussions and formal exchanges (especially externally). 💬 Chat (Teams): Instant, real-time communication for quick questions and immediate responses, reflecting the urgency and need for rapid collaboration. 📢 Teams Channels: Organized, threaded conversations that keep team discussions focused and on-topic, fostering a collaborative environment where every voice can be heard. Each tool in Microsoft 365 not only delivers a message but also sets the tone and context for how that message is received and acted upon. Embrace the power of the medium to enhance your communication and collaboration.   #Microsoft365 #Collaboration #Communication #DigitalWorkplace #Productivity 💭As always, I would not be doing my job well if I didn't invite you to join us in one of our upcoming workshops to help you work out these concepts in a meaningful way for you and your team. Coming Up: task management (next week), business communication tools (September), and business process automation (October). ✅Check those out on our events page in the comments, since LinkedIn doesn't want me to post a link here... 😄

Ever wondered how well your Unified Communications & Collaboration are working for you? I can’t stress enough the importance of diving into your UC&C usage analytics.

According to @Microsoft 2023 Work Trend Index, employees see inefficient meetings as their top productivity disruptor. What have you distilled from a day full of department meetings?

Infinity etc. Did you know that Microsoft Outlook lets you schedule recurring meetings in perpetuity? Do you really want your legacy to be an endless loop of jaded status updates? Recurrence should spark momentum, not complacency. If your weekly check-ins feel more like a stale, turgid habit than an unmissable value-add, maybe it’s time to hit refresh... or better yet, delete. Ditch the eternal invites and start creating impact.
