Microsoft 365 PnP Weekly - Episode 140 – 25th of October 2021

In this installment of the weekly discussion revolving around the latest news and topics on Microsoft 365, hosts – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft) | @vesajuvonen, Waldek Mastykarz (Microsoft) | @waldekm are joined by Sweden based MVP and Chief Technical Architect at Advania - Simon Ågren | @agrenpoint.   Simon was last on PnP Weekly exactly 100 episodes ago.   

Topics discussed in this session include: 

• Simon’s role as Chief Technical Architect focusing on Modern Work in the Knowledge Factory within Advania.
• Top of mind with customers right now – Microsoft Viva and maximizing value of Microsoft 365 product investments - a strategy conversation. 
• How you can use the Microsoft 365 Maturity Model with customers to measure their success/progress.
• Change the place you work and change the way you work - hybrid, remote, asynchronous.   Microsoft Teams’ evolution and a transitioning corporate culture – meeting dynamics, remote synchronous vs asynchronous work, decision empowerment, knowledge sharing, and embracing a diversity of workstyles. 
• Simon’s latest important contribution to the Microsoft Graph Toolkit.    It all started with a blog post and a commitment to single sign-on in Teams.  
• Why Simon contributes to open source?    It’s a desire to learn, share, simplify, participate.  Mutual positive experiences as with working with the Microsoft Graph Team. 

We also covered 15 articles by Microsoft and the community from the last week.
