Nota del editor: Microsoft es cliente del autor.
In its Ignite talk this week, Microsoft demonstrated that not only has it not stood still during the pandemic, but it is also progressing at an impressive rate. The company has made two big announcements, introducing Microsoft Viva, which looks to the future, and Microsoft Mesh, which enables businesses to better pivot to meet the contemporary present. Both are very early in the life of their products, and both will evolve significantly over the course of this decade. Viva and Mesh are suites of tools, not discrete products, and they should have a significant positive impact on the companies that use them. They could mean the difference between your business moving forward or falling behind the new post-pandemic normal. Let's take a look at each tool and what it does.

I've been interested in video conferencing since AT&T introduced it to Disneyland in the mid-1960s. I've been disappointed mostly because over a 10-year cycle, efforts seem to pick up, slow down, and start again, with no one seeming to know why. previous efforts failed. The goal was to create a method of communication that could replace both voice and face-to-face meetings, and for five decades we've had systems that did neither. Thanks mainly to the COVID-19 pandemic, tools have advanced more rapidly in the past year than in the previous five decades. Microsoft Mesh is the penultimate result of this rapid revolution, and in 18-24 months (around the time Microsoft estimates hardware will catch up with software) it could realistically achieve both. In its ultimate form, Mesh will photorealistically bring distant people together in a room where they can interact and possibly touch each other virtually. (The tactile chose will probably take a little longer than temps.) Avec une puissance de traitement adéquate et un casque amélioré - Microsoft esteem that c'est environ un et demi-ceux qui sont distants devraient être presque impossibles à visually distinguish de ceux de the piece. This toolset will force companies to redesign conference rooms, mount cameras to capture images of employees present remotely, and be systematically provisioned so that virtual participants won't walk through walls or accidentally drop into the room in the middle of conference calls. the furniture. I know a lot of companies are redesigning conference rooms these days; This set of tools is likely to make each of these parts obsolete in two years if they are not designed in such a way that they can practically overlap. Other expected advancements include increased processing power, improved room cameras, and better mixed reality headsets that can obscure images of rendered items. This would make avatars look natural instead of ghostly and fleeting. Once this tool has matured, I don't see any logical reason for someone to come to work for a meeting or go to a remote site. (Future homes may come with "holotransport rooms" for the ultimate remote experience.

One of the big issues we identified during the pandemic is employee burnout. Employees feel disconnected, fear being fired, and new hires struggle to build the relationships they need to succeed. Microsoft Viva has four elements; Two have been released, one is in preview, and the fourth will be released in April. These elements, in order, are themes, connections, knowledge, and learning. The result is a whole, like Office, that focuses on the well-being, productivity, growth, and individual success of employees, while providing management with unprecedented oversight and a foundation for making better decisions for employees. .

Microsoft Themes organize information and experts in a way that should be intuitive and easy to learn and use. New employees, especially when they are remote and feeling disconnected, can use Themes to connect with the information they need to better integrate with the business. Think of it like Wikipedia on steroids, the goal of which is to make you more competent at work. Connections are more like Facebook as they should be; aims to help workers make the meaningful human connections they will need in their careers. A connection is a tool that we should have had years ago. Still, it's especially critical during the pandemic for employees who feel isolated because they've never had a chance to socialize with coworkers. Insights is a tool that helps employees become more competent in their existing roles while ensuring a better work-life balance. As noted, this was just a preview. But if used correctly, it could be one of the most powerful tools for dealing with depression or burnout. It provides information that should, over time, make people more successful in their jobs. The learning, which will be highlighted next month, focuses on upgrading skills and ensuring an employee doesn't become obsolete. It links to existing tools like Skillsoft, Coursera, Pluralsight, Edx, Cornerstone, SABA, and SAP SuccessFactors to create dynamic learning opportunities and training paths for employees to improve employment and marketing for the long term. Employees who receive support like this tend to be much more loyal to their company than those who don't. In short, Microsoft Viva is a set of tools aimed at building better businesses and building balanced, loyal, productive and confident employees in these uncertain times.

On the other hand, Microsoft Mesh and Viva are amazing offerings aimed at connecting employees with each other while upskilling and securing their jobs. Together they provide an unprecedented set of tools that would have been even more useful had they arrived a year ago. Important for businesses that still work from offices and essential for those with large numbers of remote employees, these tools can help foster the connections essential to a successful career. Ever since I did my undergraduate studies in Workforce Management, I have been looking for tools that encompass the necessary elements to ensure that a business is not only successful, but also a great place to work. Microsoft Viva and Mesh seem to do just that, and should help businesses and the employees who use them improve in all fundamental ways.
