    • #13 File Servers be Gone - Modernising Collaboration
      Sep 24 2024

      Welcome to Episode 13 of the Work Smarter podcast, where we help you unlock the power of technology to transform your business operations and create happier, more productive teams. In this episode, Josh dives into the critical topic of moving from traditional file servers to Microsoft 365, painting a clear picture of why this transition is essential for modern businesses.

      Imagine accessing all your files securely, from anywhere—whether you're in the office, working remotely, or even on a plane. Microsoft 365 enables seamless access to your documents across devices, making it easy to work from your phone, laptop, or tablet with full control over your content. Josh breaks down the limitations of traditional file servers, like outdated systems (Windows 2008/2012), cumbersome VPN access, and security vulnerabilities, and highlights how 365 addresses these issues.

      The episode walks through the core tools that make up the Microsoft 365 suite—OneDrive, Teams, and SharePoint—each designed to optimize different aspects of file storage and collaboration:

      OneDrive: Your personal document storage solution, allowing you to sync files across devices, ensuring you have your documents and desktop setup wherever you go.
      Teams: Perfect for collaborative work, Teams allows you to create channels, manage access, and co-author documents in real time, all within a highly secure environment.
      SharePoint: The backbone of file storage and document management, offering powerful tagging, sharing, and version control features. Josh emphasizes how SharePoint’s enterprise-grade search capabilities make it easy to find content across your entire organization.
      Josh also discusses how Microsoft 365’s advanced security and compliance features protect your data, such as restricting access based on location or tagging files as confidential. With external collaboration tools built-in, you can securely share files and collaborate with subcontractors and clients without the hassle of managing multiple versions of documents.

      This episode is packed with practical insights for businesses looking to modernize their file management systems and reduce their reliance on outdated infrastructure. Josh also teases future episodes where he’ll dive deeper into planning your move to Microsoft 365, including how to properly structure your files and ensure your team is fully trained on the new tools.

      Key Takeaways:

      Understand the drawbacks of traditional file servers, including security risks, access limitations, and time wasted searching for files.
      Discover the benefits of Microsoft 365 tools: OneDrive for personal files, Teams for collaboration, and SharePoint for document management.
      Learn how to enhance productivity with features like co-authoring, automated workflows, and advanced security controls.
      Explore how external collaboration within Microsoft 365 can improve workflows with clients and subcontractors.

      Resources Mentioned:

      Power Automate: Workflow automation
      Next Steps: As more businesses move toward cloud-based solutions, it's essential to make sure your transition to Microsoft 365 is smooth and efficient. Stay tuned for upcoming episodes where we’ll cover how to properly plan your migration, optimize your file structure, and get your team up to speed on the powerful tools Microsoft 365 has to offer.

    • #12 - Workplace Challenges
      Aug 21 2024



      In Episode 12 of the Work Smarter podcast, Josh returns from the Digital Workplace Conference in Sydney with three key takeaways: Copilot, data governance, and technology adoption.

      1. Copilot in Microsoft 365 - There’s significant interest in how Copilot can boost productivity across the Microsoft suite. However, concerns persist about the quality of AI-generated content and its impact on workplace roles.

      2. Data Governance - Attendees expressed worries about AI tools potentially exposing sensitive content due to improper permission structures. Ensuring robust data governance is crucial as AI becomes more integrated into daily workflows.

      3. Technology Adoption - With rapid updates in digital tools, organizations are finding it challenging to keep employees up-to-date with new features. The fast pace of change is making it harder to maximize the benefits of these tools.

      These insights provide a snapshot of the current challenges and opportunities in the digital workplace.

    • #11 - Going Paperless
      Jul 19 2024

      In Episode 11 of the Work Smarter podcast, we dive into the topic of going paperless, specifically focusing on transitioning to digital note-taking tools. We discuss the pros and cons of using digital tools like Microsoft OneNote and Evernote versus traditional pen and paper.

      We start by sharing our personal experiences with note-taking. While some still prefer physical notebooks for their tactile and distraction-free nature, others have fully embraced digital tools for their integration, searchability, and ease of sharing notes. We explore the challenges of digital note-taking, such as meeting etiquette and device distractions, and offer solutions like using focus modes on devices to minimize interruptions.

      The episode highlights the benefits of digital note-taking, including the ability to integrate with other platforms, share notes among team members, and easily search through past notes. We also discuss how digital tools can handle audio notes and convert handwritten text into searchable digital text, making them a versatile choice for various note-taking needs.

      We emphasize the importance of building habits and gradually transitioning to digital note-taking. Start small by using digital tools for personal notes and gradually expand to meetings and collaborative environments. The key is to find a method that works for you, whether it’s using a pen and touchscreen or a keyboard.

      We conclude by encouraging listeners to try digital note-taking and experience the benefits firsthand. Whether for personal use or in a professional setting, making the switch can improve productivity and organization.
