“Hybrid work represents the biggest shift to how we work in our generation.”
– Satya Nadella
That statement applies to organizations worldwide. And it will require a new operating model, spanning people, places, and processes. To help, the SharePoint, OneDrive, Viva, Lists, Planner, Stream, Visio and more groups are prepping speakers and content – fired up and ready to help dig in - to assess this shift and help shift you into high-learning gear!
FYI, we refer to this grouping of products as ODSPV.
Thus, this blog is The Microsoft Ignite ‘ODSPV Guide’ – easy to get to by typing aka.ms/Ignite/ODSPVGuide into your browser anytime. This guide is loaded with related keynotes, breakout sessions, on-demand sessions, a post-Ignite event, and more – to help you navigate this subset of content within the whole of Ignite. We’ll keep it up to date – before, during and after Ignite.
Steady your minds, be well, find your favorites, and engage. We’re all ‘learn it alls’ in the end (of Ignite).
