When Launching a New Intranet for Viva Think Less is More and the Rule of Five

This post has been republished via RSS; it originally appeared at: New blog articles in Microsoft Tech Community.

  I have been speaking with many customers over the last 2 months about the new Employee Experience platform that is Microsoft Viva. One of the prime areas of interest has been around Microsoft Viva Connections. Viva Connections delivers next generation Intranet to employees where they work, in Microsoft Teams the single pane of glass for getting work done. However, many of the organizations I have talked to are intimidated by the process of standing up that single point of entry, often compiling lengthy list of requirements. This is where the starting philosophy of less is more and the Rule of Five can help.

In this video I talk through using the rule of Five to deliver a modern, clean, engaging, Intranet home within Viva connections, today.
