There is incredible hidden value and potential available for organizations to take advantage of with Microsoft 365, and many organizations haven’t yet realized it. The capabilities Microsoft 365 provides for productivity, collaboration, communication, and more through their experiences such as SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Outlook/Exchange, the Office Suite (Excel, Word, Powerpoint), Yammer, and Search are not the whole story. Behind the scenes each interaction, behaviour and activity performed in a Microsoft 365 digital workplace feeds into a graph and rich data set that can be leveraged in innovative ways for customers, Microsoft and partners or the ecosystem.
Join Richard Harbridge, a Microsoft MVP, CTO of 2toLead and internationally recognized expert on Microsoft 365 and the Digital Workplace, who will share:

COVID Beard (missing a mask)
We’ve seen a shift away from routine tasks to a way of operating that requires all employees to be creative and to think critically. But with the world’s information doubling every 18 months, the ability to quickly turn information into insight and action can be overwhelming. Yet it has become the key to almost everything—from improving productivity and driving innovation, to understanding customers, expanding into new markets, and much more. On top of that, with remote work becoming more prevalent among different organizations, employees are being faced different challenges that affect their work and personal lives.
Let's take a look at some of the struggles the typical knowledge worker encounters throughout their work day:
Distractions: it’s difficult to get work done without being distracted by email, chat messages, and meetings – and not everyone is good at proactively blocking focus time.
Personal time: work can get so busy that some individuals end up working longer hours, thus disrupting their personal time or time with their families
People: it's so simple to get caught up on our own work that some employees rarely meet their new colleagues and most managers don't initiate those relationships
Meetings: meetings are typically the #1 time-waster for knowledge workers – about half of meeting time is seen as unproductive.
Here’s the good news – with just a few improvements in work habits, we can take back 18-24% of our collaborative time, according to research by Babson College MBA professor Rob Cross. For example, experts on deep work report that setting aside regular blocks of time to focus on challenging work can have massive benefits. However, only 32% of knowledge workers set aside time daily for deep, focused work (This finding is based on a study of US information workers conducted online with 1,400 participants in April 2018 by PSB Research, commissioned by Microsoft).
Data sources:
At work, people average 40 seconds on a computer screen before switching - Gloria Mark, Shamsi T Iqbal, Mary Czerwinski, Paul Johns, and Akane Sano. 2016.Neurotics can’t focus: An in situ study of online multitasking in the workplace. In Proceedings of the 2016 CHI conference on human factors in computing systems. ACM, 1739–1744.
When interrupted, an information worker can take about 25 minutes and a half minutes to get back to their original task – Gloria Mark Center for Humane Technology | Your Undivided Attention Podcast http://humanetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/CHT-Undivided-Attention-Podcast-Ep.7-Pardon-the-Interruptions.pdf
40% of people report work disrupting personal/family time at least weekly - Based on a study of US knowledge workers conducted online, PSB Research, commissioned by Microsoft, 1,400 participants, April 2018; actual percent at +/-3% at 95% confidence level.
42% of IWs rarely meet new people at their company; when they do meet new people, it’s most often through a formal or informal company event - Based on a study of US knowledge workers conducted online, PSB Research, commissioned by Microsoft, 1,400 participants, April 2018; actual percent at +/-3% at 95% confidence level.
Most IWs think they have empowering, inclusive, and well-connected managers, but 67% of managers rarely connect team members with new co-workers - Based on a study of US knowledge workers conducted online, PSB Research, commissioned by Microsoft, 1,400 participants, April 2018; actual percent at +/-3% at 95% confidence level.

Take action in the flow of your work to be more effective every day: MyAnalytics provides you with intelligent, personalized, and actionable insights and suggestions so you can be more effective in 4 areas: focus, wellbeing, network and collaboration. These insights and suggestions appear in the flow of your work through inline suggestions and the Insights Outlook add-in for you to be your most productive self.
Understand how you work to improve your work patterns over time: With the help of the Microsoft Graph, MyAnalytics gathers data from your everyday work in email, meetings, calls and chats so you can understand how you spend your time and who you spend it with. The data gets surfaced on your personal dashboard and on your weekly digest emails so you can ultimately improve your work patterns.
Privacy by design: All of the insights MyAnalytics surfaces are personal and private, and only you can access them. They are based on your own work patterns from your Office 365 mailbox and calls and chats in Teams or Skype for business. MyAnalytics stores your data in your mailbox itself, which means that your data is protected the same way your email and calendar information is kept private and protected.
MyAnalytics empowers individuals to master their time by delivering personal productivity insights based on their everyday work in Office 365.
It is designed to help knowledge workers:
get sufficient uninterrupted time to focus
prioritize disconnecting and recharging
manage their networks
and improve collaboration habits.
There’s 5 different ways in which MyAnalytics will present you with insights that you can use to make decisions, and you can find these either on the web or in Outlook:
On the web:
In your personal dashboard: you can see statistics on how you’ve spent your time over the past month, productivity insights about your work habits, helpful suggestions for improvement, and explore your network, top collaborators, and collaboration activities. You can access your dashboard by opening the app launcher in Office 365 and searching for MyAnalytics.
In Outlook:
With your focus plan: it helps you block regular time for your top-priority work by scheduling up to two hours every day to focus. One way it promotes focus is by silencing chats in Teams and in Skype for Business during that booked time. Book focus time in the MyAnalytics dashboard or in the Insights Outlook add-in.
In the Insights Outlook add-in: it presents you with cards that report on aspects of your recent work experience and let you respond in various ways. You can get actionable insights to get more done in Outlook by opening the add-in in the app or selecting the ellipsis (…) in the top-right corner of an email in Outlook on the web
In your weekly digest: receive a weekly digest in your Outlook inbox that gives you highlights about your previous week. Each week you’ll receive an email related to your focus, wellbeing, network and collaboration work patterns.
With inline suggestions: get brief suggestions and AI-driven notifications in Outlook while or composing an email or a meeting invitation
But as importantly, each employee is empowered with personal and private insights into their own work patterns – visible only to them - and intelligent, actionable suggestions to help them gain uninterrupted time to focus, disconnect and recharge, and network and collaborate more effectively.
These private insights are available through a personal dashboard…
<<CLICK>>
Employees also get intelligent and actionable insights in the flow of their work.
<<CLICK>>
For instance, inline suggestions that appear as employees read or compose emails and invitations encourage them to follow best practices, such as scheduling delivery to align with the recipient’s working hours.
The ”Plan your time away” checklist
<<CLICK>>
helps employees seamlessly set their out of office notification, inform top collaborators of their time away, resolve meetings they’ll miss, and schedule catch-up time with colleagues when they’re back.
All of these insights are personal and private for every employee. The data is stored in their mailbox and protected in the same way as their email and calendar information.
In a modern workplace where back to back meetings and urgent requests are the norm, you might have difficulty finding the time, space, and concentration required to do your best work. This summer, we’re launching a preview of new Microsoft 365 capabilities to help you prioritize focus time—blocks of time reserved on your calendar for deep, uninterrupted work. Through the Microsoft Graph, Microsoft 365 experiences like Microsoft Teams will automatically protect scheduled focus times by holding notifications, so you can work without distractions. And to help you establish a focus time routine, MyAnalytics will offer a focus plan that gives you the flexibility to have daily focus time booked automatically based on your availability and surfaces AI-powered suggestions to book focus time for outstanding tasks as you work in Outlook.

You can use Microsoft Graph data connect to create new types of applications based on Microsoft 365 data, while taking advantage of the best tooling inside Microsoft Azure. You can use Azure Data Factory to move Microsoft 365 data into popular Azure data stores: Azure Data Lake Gen 1 or Gen 2, or Azure Blob Storage. Then, you can process the data (using Azure Data Lake Analytics, for example) or move it into an additional store, like Azure SQL Database. You can then use the data to service your application's end user scenario.
