Have you implement Microsoft Teams? Are you still struggling with getting the most out of the platform? You should have a conversation with our Digital Wellbeing coach, Ståle Hansen. He has spent the last 7 years figuring out how to work smarter as an individual and as a group in Microsoft 365. With his more than 15 years of experience implementing collaboration tools he has an incredible deep knowledge on how things work, and can help you understand it in a practical and approachable way. Check out our testimonials and let us know how we can help you get more done in a busy work day.
Our Digital Wellbeing coach, Ståle Hansen has focused on working smart in Microsoft 365 for the past seven years. He believes he has cracked the code and believes that Digital Wellbeing can
 | Help you get your head above the water |
 | Perform better at work and at home |
 | Just make you happier in your life. |
Happiness comes from you feeling you are mastering your busy day, using the #M365 tools in a smart way, and removing stress from your life. Happy people are more approachable, creative, and better problem solvers, according to Shawn Achor.
Today he run Digital Wellbeing training for senior leadership and champions, and does inspirational keynotes and more extended introductions. The feedback he gets is that this is life-changing. It is so simple and yet challenging to master.
Our management team found both Digital Wellbeing sessions presented by Ståle Hansen, informative, useful, and eye-opening. Some of our attendees mentioned a “wow factor” around basic concepts that provided immediate value. Learning how to use To Do lists for tasks along with proper capture and processing ensured that our team will now be able to avoid dropping the ball while doing simple tasks and/or completing projects. We are now considerably more conscious of our own distractions, our productivity and our attention to detail while being focused on priorities and breaking (bad) habits. Digital wellbeing is in all our interests, in our personal and professional lives. Ståle has a great speaking and teaching style – a blend of humour, real-life examples, extensive knowledge of the Microsoft group of products and a way of ensuring we ALL understood concepts. A real valuable program and experience. Thank you Ståle!
Marina Phillips
Executive Assistant & Human Resources
Ståle joined us for a Microsoft Viva Workshop, and it was so useful and insightful that we asked him to give us a key note talk on Digital Wellness during our annual Be Healthy Week in the Nordics. We had a planning meeting with Ståle prior to the event, and he truly listened, delivered right on point and with enthusiasm. The feedback from attendees has been excellent.
Cecilie Miller
Internal Communications Manager
During the course of 4 1 hour sessions, Ståle Hansen gave us a great overview of how to work smarter in Microsoft 365. He managed to keep the group engaged during his sessions and showed us how to use Teams and To Do for better
communication in the leadership group and in the organization. Most importantly, he showed us how to be more
transparent with open dialogue in the organization. We are about to implement Microsoft 365 for the whole organization
and we will tune our adoption messaging towards Ståle’s easy to understand Digital Wellbeing concept.

Digital Wellbeing keynote
Need a keynote for your internal event to jumpstart working smarter in Microsoft 365? Ståle has over 10 years experience on engaging the audience from the stage and has the past 2 years been coached by communication expert, David Phillips to take his talks to the next level. The message is delivered in a professional, engaging way which suites all audiences
Inspirational talk
The goal for this session is to help the audience understand why Digital Wellbeing and teach tips and tricks for working smarter in Microsoft 365. The difference between this talk and a keynote, is that it requires less preparation and can be delivered remote via Teams, for senior leadership, smaller groups or event as a lunch and learn in your organization.
2-3 hours introductional presentations
Deep dive sessions per module which goes in to each module as shown in the videos below. Each session is a full session and will go through tips and tricks in detail and will give the audience the knowledge and tools to get started right away. Can be delivered in-person or remote via Teams.
1 day or two day workshops
The workhops are best suited for HR, adoption, champions and IT. The goal is to discuss how you work today, learn about Digital Wellbeing, and identify what needs to be changed in the collaboration culture. HR has the authority to change how the organization work today, so they are important to include in these workshops. This can be combined with a Microsoft sponsored Viva Insights workshop.
Digital Wellbeing in Microsoft 365 is about working smart with the tools you have at your disposal. There is a difference between having access to the tools and using them as intended. With the introduction of Microsoft Viva and specifically Viva Insights, we now see where Microsoft is headed. They are now all about using the tools and building good collaboration cultures.
Viva Insights can measure meeting culture, chat culture and how much off hours working is done. But it is not enough to just tell people to use less internal emails, move away from chat and over to channels and work less in evenings. It is difficult to envision how to work in a different way when the change that needs to happen must happen for the individual and in the group.
This is where Digital Wellbeing comes in to the picture. This is a practical approach which helps you understand why To Do is core for your everyday workday. Learn deep work and timeboxing. Organize your tasks. Create a sustainable Teams culture. Learn how to get the right notification at the right time.
During March 2022 Ståle recorded everything he knows about Digital Wellbeing and you can jumpstart your journey today. This ended up as 8 hours and 30 minutes of insights, demos and how to’s. You can view the full index with timestamps under each video in this blogpost https://msunified.net/DigitalWellbeing.
Module 1 – Capture
Capture is all about storing your thoughts, ideas, dreams and tips in to Microsoft To Do. Meeting notes and deeper notes are captured in OneNote. The goal is to create stash-zones for your content so that you find them again. Why exactly To Do and OneNote? Watch my deep dive video explaining everything you need to know to get started with capture.
Module 2 – Process & Execute
Taking capture to the next level is to reflect, process and organize your captured material. A task in To Do which you have captured could be a link to an article you want to read, reference material for your project, it could be someone asking you for more information or the start of a project. Organizing this unstructured information and breaking the tasks in to goals and actions will help “future you” make sense of the captures.
Module 3 – Teams Culture
For you to have a good day in Teams three things needs to happen
– Conversations about processes needs to move from chats to channel conversations
– We want larger Teams with more channels, rather than many teams with fewer channels
– Meetings should start and end in channel conversations, which can reduce the number of meetings
Module 4 – Notifications
There are three questions you need to ask yourself when you get a notification on your computer or mobile
– Why did you get the notification?
– Was it useful?
– How can you tune it so you get it not at all or at the correct time
At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum.
By the end of this workshop, you will be conscious about notifications in your life, which will remove unnecessary interruptions and help you focus on what you are doing. Next simple step is to go to Settings on your devices and make the changes. Then pay it forward and share digital wellbeing insights with friends, family and colleagues and help them be conscious about managing notifications in their lives too
Meeting rooms have undergone a significant transition in the last few years, once the only space where people could collaborate in a company, then made swiftly defunct by COVID. Meeting rooms are now finding their feet again, but times have changed. Users now expect a first-class meeting experience regardless of where they participate; in the room, at home, in another office or on the road.

Most companies will in some way or the other relate to Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) as this technology will be immersed as part of all society structures. Services like Copilot for Microsoft 365 is one of the AI technologies and services many companies are implementing.
To successfully navigate the technology options and prepare for the future evolution of employee experiences like Copilot for Microsoft 365 it is important to embrace a #PeopleFirst strategy and a key for this is the human connection and building trust in and across an organization.
To succeed in building trust and human connection in the workplace of tomorrow, both the technical platforms and people need to be up to date. Data and how we work and communicate need to be structured, restructured and managed in a much larger degree than what happens in many companies today. AI and Microsoft Copilot turns the creative process upside down and can help improve both the complete employee experience as well as improve quality of work delivered, and in shorter time.
Be ready to run a project for Get Ready for Copilot in your organization either on your own, with current partners and/or with support from CloudWay.

Microsoft Viva Engage is an employee experience that connects people across the company. It provides an experience where people can crowdsource answers and ideas, share their work and experience, and find belonging at work.
Some organizations are using “only” Microsoft Teams (Teams) for their internal communication purposes, other organizations might use a combination of Teams and other solutions for internal communication, sharing information, publish news and more.
Deciding to move or move parts of the internal communications into Viva Engage communities is a great idea. However, careful planning and looking at the full communication lifecycle, is important before taking the shift. The communities or forums, are part of an internal communications ecosystem. Changes to a part of the ecosystem affects the rest of the ecosystem. This Proof of Concept will help give the full picture of what is needed to do, plan and reorganize the internal communication ecosystem.
Be ready to run a project for moving into Microsoft Viva Engage in your organization either on your own, with current partners and/or with support from CloudWay.

Projects where CloudWay succeeds are when we work with a customer or partner who believes what we believe. We believe in best practice implementations using all the tools available for secure productivity. Our goal is to transfer knowledge and to help customers do cloud operations the right way.
Traditionally internal communication platforms are email and a static intranet site, and perhaps different forum tools, either external social media or similar internal tools. The purpose of internal communication is to provide important and relevant information to everyone in the organization, when they need it or want it. Many times, the tools used for this purpose can become fragmented over time, and the employees experience to be overloaded with information they don’t need or want. This again can lead to extra stress and wasted time for the employees, which again affects how they thrive at work as well as their productivity. Understanding the full lifecycle of internal communications and the tools, including culture building, to make sure the right information is shared at the right time to the right people can inspire to an engaged community of employees, create trust across the organization, make work a good place to be, and make people proud and happy to be part of it.
