Sp2013 communities

Editor's Notes

• #2 Problem: We have Sharepoint, but we’re hearing the rumble around the office. It’s not doing anything to drive our employee engagement.How but what can we do within the confines of out of the box SharePoint that will allow us to General topicsAccess requestsMobile connectionsE-mail configuration
• #3 Talk about my online community background – and the evolution of online communities
• #5 So the question is – how can we leverage our sharepoint implementations to engage employees?
• #6 I’m a big proponent of benchmarking – we first need to figure out what engagement means to us as an organization – does it mean collaboration, contribution, a thoughtful culture?How can we measure these items?Most of us say we want collaboration, but really what does online collaboration mean to us? Does it mean that we are leveraging one-to-many conversations more than one-to-one conversations via e-mail?If this is a goal and it is for so many of us – sharepoint communities can help us
• #9 There’s nothing about setting up a community portal or a community site that’s unusual.
• #12 This will add the four community pages (Home, Categories, Members, and About) along with all the community Web Parts to your site. The key difference between the Community Feature and aCommunity Site is that only Community Sites will appear in the Community Portal. Sites with the Community Feature activated will also not use the community result template in search. The community functionality will be exactly the same.

• #21 There are more than 2.1 million special interest groups on Linked InIn Q4 2013 more than 40 percent of the unique visitors to Linked In accessed the site from a mobile deviceA major pain point of all of this is figuring out our strategy behind our new implementation, and more to the point, how can we get users to adopt this new form of SharePoint.
