On this episode, we hear from Sue Hanley who expertly focuses on change -- evolving and improving your intranet. Sue is an information architect, a knowledge management expert, and she doesn't shy away from the word: Portal. Sue is steeped in all sorts of governance and collaboration consultation in the grandiose enterprise content services and app: SharePoint. We grabbed time with Sue to discover how to make intranets better, how to make them work for you AND be worthy for people to go to and come back. Employees need to find things quickly and get things done – or your intranet doesn’t get a second visit.

We talk about some of the foundational "community" elements of Yammer, where Amy started her journey as an SME for planning and designing communities within the enterprise - what in the early days was referred to as "the social enterprise."

In this episode, we dig into two real-time, data-driven public service scenarios -- both about systems and people that support policing at-scale. You'll hear solution-oriented clips pulled from two episodes of the 'Public Sector Future' podcast, with show host Olivia Neal - Director of Public Sector Center of Expertise at Microsoft. First, Olivia speaks to Ian Bell, CEO of the UK’s Police Digital Service, to give an inside look into harnessing the power of digital, data, and technology to better protect the communities they serve. Then a conversation with Joseph Courtesis, former Inspector of the NYPD who helped rationalize millions of data points from multiple data sources to save police time, in real time.

A swell of innovation is coming, aiming to boost the creator in us all – to create faster, more intuitively, and with the help of AI – your intranet web design partner. In this episode, we talk with Adam Harmetz, Vice President of SharePoint Experiences at Microsoft. We get his perspective on the recent SharePoint announcements disclosed at the Microsoft 365 Conference on May 2, 2023, in Las Vegas, Nevada. These include insights on Copilot in SharePoint, all the coming site design goodness – including custom fonts and 'brand center', the updated capabilities when working with images and videos, plus one of the core aspects - design goals, if you will - to evolve the SharePoint start experience for when you're in creator mode.
