If you have an Office 365 deployment coming up soon or you have already deployed but adoption is lagging, here are some activities to drive interaction.

​1.  Start a friendly competition

• See who can build the best SharePoint page for their department.  Modern SharePoint is incredibly easy to edit and has app parts that many are unaware of: call to action buttons, count down timers, Forms, Stream, personalized content, and more.  Royalty-free images and icons can be added via web searches from within the SharePoint editing experience.  If you need to spread some inspiration, check out the SharePoint Look Book.

​Microsoft Ignite has ended and that means some great new functionality and innovation are on the way!  As we scoured through the Ignite conference announcements and scheduled upcoming feature updates there were a couple of items we thought warranted being highlighted for a closer look.

1. Provide just in time learning

• ​Adopting a new tool or process in a few months?  Now is the time to start planning - but not yet time to start training end users.  Timing can be tricky, but ideally, it’s early enough to prevent user errors and late enough that employees can go back to their desks and try it out for themselves.
