Whilst tracking through my OneDrive I rediscovered the theme I developed for an analytics session at Ignite 2017. I still think the theme is relevant today so I’ve decided to turn it into a blog post. If you were in the session you’ll notice that I’ve tweaked it a little bit 😉
For the citizen developer: embed a Power BI dashboard in a classic SharePoint page
Using PowerApps to work around the limitation of only being able to embed Power BI dashboards in modern SharePoint pages
Sub-sites are dead, long live the Site Collection
For me Ignite 2017, is the conference where sub-sites died. The sub-site is dead, long live the site.
Search reborn
For me the Search announcements made at Ignite 2017 are probably the biggest ones that they made at Ignite as they are the ones that really effect an end users experience. An effective and efficient search is fundamental to their productivity.
My take on the Yammer Roadmap
Yammer’s Roadmap session at Ignite 2017 demonstrated that the product team had listened to their MVP’s and customers. This my take on how they should deliver the roadmap.
What Transitioning to the Cloud Means for IT Organisational Structures
I’ve produced this post as response to one in the Microsoft Tech Community titled “What Transitioning to the Cloud Means for IT Organizational Structures (And why you should pay attention)”.

The perfect serve of Yammer?
Recently, I’ve been wondering whether Yammer is being developed like ‘medicine’ or ‘Coca Cola’? I've been typing, deleting, typing, deleting and in the process I've started to challenge my own thinking.

Search refiners are yesterday’s algorithm
A while ago I came to the conclusion that Delve is definitely the future of search in Office 365. Delve is great for the targeted, individual relevant search, connecting people to content and content to people through the Office Graph. I believe it is the future but it is not quite there yet.
