I am so excited to be visiting Ottawa, Ontario for the first time this week! I’ll be seeing friends and speaking at SPS Ottawa. My session, When cookie-cutter user adoption doesn’t cut it, examines typical pitfalls of SharePoint and Office 365 user adoption campaigns. I’ll explain why great user adoption ideas can work well at one organization and fail miserably at another. I’ll also provide practical tips and techniques for building adoption strategies that reflect the unique needs of your culture, your users, and your business. Attendees will leave the session with a working knowledge of how to design adoption strategies tailored to their organization’s needs.

Many thanks to Antonio Maio and Mike Maadrani for welcoming me to speak at the event. I can’t wait! Registration for SPS Ottawa is still open and attendance is free. Consider joining us; it’ll be a fantastic event!

I’m thrilled to be heading to NYC to speak at SharePoint Saturday New York City on July 28, 2018. Daniel Glenn and I will be co-presenting a new session at the event: Driving adoption of Microsoft Flow, one solution at a time. We’ll provide an introduction to Microsoft Flow, provide practical guidance on how to drive adoption, outline common workflow use cases, and illustrate how SharePoint Online can serve as a community knowledge center. Attendees will also learn how to build a reusable Microsoft Flow template gallery that enables easy sharing of workflows between business teams.

I’m thrilled to be heading to Nashville, TN in a few weeks to speak at SharePoint Saturday Nashville. There’s a great lineup of speakers for the May 5th event, including fellow Minnesotans Max Fritz and Trevor Huinker. I’ll be presenting my session “Yes Virginia, you can use Content Types.” It provides a 100-level introduction to content types, including live demos of how to set up and configure them in your lists and document libraries. I’ll also provide several use cases for business solutions you can build with content types. The session will be a great introduction for content type newbies, but will also provide creative ideas for experienced users on how they can leverage content types to automate business processes.

Registration for SPS Nashville is still open. If you’ll be in the area on May 5th, it’d be great to see you there!
