The Intrazone by Microsoft 365

This episode is like a gift to your future work "comms pro" personality. All the heartache of manual copy/pasting into various internal distribution channels will fade away. And what shines through? The ability to communicate like a pro with the broadest reach and impact for your internal news and campaigns - big or small. We talk with Liz Sundet (Senior Customer Experience program manager at Microsoft), a wonderful technologist and trainer focused on getting Microsoft customers prepared to use Microsoft Viva Amplify. You'll hear insights about the tech, best practices for internal comms, and insights into how customers use Amplify to, you guessed it, amplify their internal comms, with solid reporting intact.

You might call this episode ShareDrive or OnePoint, if you dare. We hear from Stephen Rice (Principal product manager) from our OneDrive companion pod, Sync Up - and he chats/interviews your Intrazone host, Mark Kashman. It's a little bit of a M365 multi-verse as they interview each other - pod-to-pod, Intrazone-to-Sync Up. You'll hear their takes on their respective products - Stephen on OneDrive and Mark on SharePoint. In the end, it's a double bonus benefit for you - the best of both pods.

We grabbed time with three Microsoft tech event experts: Sharon Weaver (Founder & CEO | Smarter Consulting), Sean Bugler (Principal Innovation Architect | Metropolitan Transportation Commission), and Derek Cash-Peterson (Principal Architect | Sympraxis Consulting LLC) - to get their insights about in-person events. The goal is to give you, future attendee, tips, tricks and best practices to optimize your in-person event experience. We also got a sense of what each person plans to present, and each shared a fun story from their past in-person event memory box. Lots of laughs. Lots to get you prepped before boarding your flight to Orlando, FL.
