The boys get distracted as always as the Autumn Speaker circuit comes alive.  The conclude with Governance at the South Coast Summit (join their workshop at Practical Microsoft 365 Baseline Governance – South Coast Summit ) Recorded live at Marijn’s place, where the boys are constantly distracted by the world walking passed... Steve’s memory is again letting him down as he tries to remember the name of the artist he saw a week ago because the boys have been singing “Changes’ from Mr David Bowie since they suggested today’s subject.So, the subject is change, and specifically, they discuss the implications of Outlook and MS Team having huge updates in the same timeframe.The Podcast looks at current changes creating problems and differences in both clients to identify scope changes.  Some will be improved, but this is a new canvas for Outlook and format for MS Teams, so some features may not be available when it goes live and be added later.The Point of this podcast is to look at how to manage this change... we know change is constantly changing when considering Enterprise Apps.The boys develop some great nuggets on how a model might look based on some change metric...   Change Points!!!  You heard it here first...The Change model is about packages balanced against the change needs based on the change required in the application's upgrade size.Several criteria can create the model. so Steve and Marijn discuss the main ones that should be considered.Steve Changed the name of XLA to ELA’s, but the basis is still the same, value is based on how users perceive and manage the change... the ultimate way to measure the success of change.Whisky eventually hits the menu, and Steve asks one of the speakers from the NY Community event a few weeks ago to find us a bottle we have been looking to taste for some time.  Today we taste Metallica’s Blackened whiskey, a blend from Dave Pickerell, one of the last blends he created before he passed away.  One of America’s greatest Master Distillers who changed Markers Mark from 175,000 bottles per year organisation to a million bottles per Distiller.This whiskey has been on Steves’s list for some time so here it is, and well there is a difference of opinion...  This batch of Whisky has its own playlist that is played to the Whisky during the Maturation process and if you want to listen to the playlist...  here is the link.  https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1w6KeG09G0VWrRRkkLZet0?si=972b68b77ae9468e Check it out.

Getting ahead of themselves, this episode was recorded at the end of July for the August release due to holidays etc. Before looking at Our governance model defined by DRAAP, which isdefine | review | adapt | approve | publish.We are looking for replacement names, all ideas are welcome.  So the boys break down each of these stages in the model and cover the value that each section brings to the process of Governance.https://www.southcoastsummit.com/workshop/practical-microsoft-365-baseline-governance/ If you want to come and discuss this as part of our governance workshop, join us at Sout Coast Summit in October.The first important subject is Methodology or a Model, and the decision is not to create a podcast on which is most accurate...Using some real examples, we look at current customers and which state of the DRAAP process they are at and the next stages to be completed.  The process does allow you to define at what stage each of the governance documents is at and what the following stage should include.  A way to identify the value.Risk and value are included In the conversation, and Steve thinks this is a key attribute to define the protection required verse the effect on the end users.  Governance that drives users away from using the product is not the target.Then the boys drink a local Whisky from Mechelen in Belgium.

The boys get distracted for the first 10 minutes covering Their speaking events, Governance at the South Coast Summit (join their workshop at www.southcoastsummit.com ) and the pricing release of the Co-Pilot and value.  They decide to read the Whiteboard and realise they have some subjects to discuss...A list on the whiteboard of Roles is associated with managing and running M365.  Which role would you like to do and are the best at?  Steve and Marijn run through the list, select their dream role in M365, and say how it works and why it might not... Check out why they both think that CISO would be a great role...We finish with a review of the position of the roles immediately after tasting a very unusual single cask from Deanston.  Bourbon barrel about seven years in the barrel and hand filled at nearly 62%vol.  It was a brilliant drink; pity I could only get a 20cl bottle...

In this special podcast, we have changed a few things... The Intro does not blow your ears out at the start... You can win a place at our 5th Birthday celebration with a simple HashTag and learn about Governance and Change on New Stream... EP116 is full of great information and a Free Dinner.  Finishing with a great idea generated by a 21 Year Old Whisky from our sponsor Secure-Mail-Merge by Alex Duggleby Steve has an idea that looks to combine your Governance plans with ADKAR and Marijn likes the picture, but we disagree with the Model and do not find agreement.  So you guys get one Model and 2 plans for implementation... you can choose the Marijn way or the Steve way... Such great Podcast Value!The podcast finished with the knowledge that the 21-year-old Austrian Whisky from the SecureMailMan Alex Duggleby as it created an excellent review of the Governance/Change idea and rounds it off with a new idea. This is Whisky Value Stream in action.

This is a very late podcast because Steve #ScrewedUp and the great interview with Alex Duggleby needed more work than usual.  But it is finished, Alex sounds great, nearly as good as his M365 Secure Mail Merge App.  Steve and Marijn are drinking Austrian Whisky provided by Alex as a Sponsor for this episode, where we introduce what we think is a great tool to assist in communications and adoption.Alex Duggleby joins the boys to talk about his career in development, the background in his new Mail Merge Application and his thoughts on developing inside the M365 apps and creating secure tools that do not need to take any data outside the M365 ecosystem.Advanced mail merge for Outlook for Windows, Mac and Web. (securemailmerge.com)Steve talks about his direct experience with the tool after using it to manage CVTV (Commsverse TV) interviews and communications for this MS Teams event in the UK.
