Dan Holme - How Yammer superpowers are providing great experiences and integration across Microsoft 365

In a world where, right now, we're not all connected in the same place... the importance of community, the importance of engagement, the importance of engaging between leaders and employees, and employees with each other, is greater than ever.

 

It was amazing to spend some time talking to Dan Holme, Product Leader at Microsoft about Yammer  and how Yammer was built to create a social fabric that connects you with people outside and allows you to discover and intentially follow the things that are important to you. We also talked about many other topics in this wide ranging discussion that really was enjoyable for me and I am sure will bring you a stack of value.

 

Dan leads integrations of Yammer and Teams, and two new features coming to Microsoft 365 in early 2022. Prior to taking a role on the product team, Dan was the director of marketing for SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer, Stream, Search, and what became Viva Topics & Connections.

 

So it is fair to say that Dan has a massive amount of respect and experience at Microsoft and this is one you will not want to miss.

 

Other topics that we discussed were (there was so much !!!):

 

• The rise of Yammer during Covid
• The role of Yammer across Microsoft Viva
• How Yammer superpowers are being integrated across Microsfoft 365
• Yammer or Teams ? Dan outlines how he explains it to customers
• Insights into where Yammer is heading and future plans
