- Coming up, I'll walk you through updates to MyAnalytics
and Workplace Analytics, which you use data
from everyday work in Office 365
to boost productivity and engagement.
First, we're introducing nudging to MyAnalytics to help
you make better decisions about how you collaborate
as you get work done in Outlook.
Second, we're introducing a teamwork solution
in Workplace Analytics, which helps organizations
use data to develop high-performing teams.
Let's start in MyAnalytics.
If you're new to MyAnalytics, it's an application built
into Office 365 that helps you understand
how you spend your time at work.
With a personal dashboard, a weekly digest email that puts
information in your inbox every Monday,
and an added built-in to Outlook
that gives other real-time productivity insights.
We're now introducing nudging to MyAnalytics,
which gives you tips right in the flow of your work.
For example, MyAnalytics will remind you to follow-up
on open to-do's that you promised to get done over email.
Here, Megan has opened a do's for Isaiah,
and she'll see a friendly reminder to follow-up
on those before responding to this email.
These to-do reminders are based on machine learning
that looks for key words that indicate a commitment
or a request has been made.
MyAnalytics will also nudge you to save time for focused
work so that meetings don't eat up your whole schedule.
For example, Megan just received a meeting invite for next
Tuesday, and MyAnalytics intelligently recognizes
that if she accepts, she'll have very little time left
for focused work next week.
As a reminder, focused time is defined as at least two hours
of time in your calendar without meetings.
With a few clicks, Megan can then see what blocks of open
time are left on her schedule, and reserve them
for focused time without leaving her inbox.
Over time, we'll introduce other nudges
that help users run better meetings,
get more focused time, and improve their relationships.
Next, we're introducing a teamwork solution
in Workplace Analytics that brings data to the challenge
of building high-performing teams.
For those new to it, Workplace Analytics uses insights
from everyday work and Office 365, to help you connect
collaboration patterns to business outcomes.
You can get immediate insights about how different groups
spend time in collaborate, analyze meeting quality,
and even put a cost on low-quality meetings, and much more.
All of this data can be exported to tools like Power BI
for additional analysis and visualization.
To help companies drive real behavior change using
these insights, the teamwork solution
for Workplace Analytics, now in public preview, harnesses
the combined power of Workplace Analytics and MyAnalytics.
It starts in Workplace Analytics, where you can you find
associations between collaboration patterns
and important business outcomes.
For example, Contoso recently ran an HR poll
in which it asks employees to rate their teams level
of creativity and innovation.
We can now see whether there's a correlation
between this rating, in this case called
innovation capacity, and collaboration patterns
like weekly time spent in meetings.
Now, for the entire organization,
no clear correlation jumps out of the data.
Groups with a low score spend about the same time
in meetings each week as groups with a high score.
But when we filter just to show engineering, a clear
negative correlation appears, suggesting that certain
engineering teams are struggling with meeting overload,
and would benefit from building better meeting habits.
The next step is to select a group
that can be assigned to a teamwork program.
In this case, let's select the very low innovation group,
which has about 100 employees, name the group,
and set a weekly target for meeting hours.
In this case, this group has a current average of 22 hours
in meetings per week, so let's set
a reasonable target of 20 hours.
The next step is for change manager to create
and customize a teamwork program.
First, we can pick a program start-date,
then assign a business sponsor.
And lastly, put in a custom welcome message.
We can then pick and choose the collaboration habits
that will help this team achieve their goals.
For example, opting out of unnecessary meetings,
or dividing and conquering with co-workers.
Lastly, we can confirm and submit the program.
Once the program has been submitted, each team member
will receive a welcome email from the business sponsor,
and get access to a new programs tab right in MyAnalytics.
The programs tab helps users
track progress towards their goal.
For example, Megan is four-weeks into this program,
and the past two-weeks she's done a great job
getting her meeting hours down below 20 hours per week.
She can also see an action plan which is based on the habits
that were previously selected.
Back in Workplace Analytics, the change manager can track
aggregate group progress towards
achieving this 20-hour target.
It's important to note that to protect individual privacy,
information surfaced that Workplace Analytics
is de-identified, and groups, by default, must have
at least five people to be enrolled in a program.
So that was a quick overview of the most recent updates
to MyAnalytics and Workplace Analytics.
MyAnalytics is part of Office 365 and is included with E5.
Workplace Analytics is an add-on
to Office 365 Enterprise plans.
