Next Month O365Distilled will be 4 years old, and we will likely deliver the 100th episode of the podcast in September 2022. This screenshot is from our original Onenote defining what was www.o365distilled.com

Firstly thanks to everyone who has listened and supported this little project, and don't worry, we are planning on hitting 200 at some point in the future.

I thought you might be interested in this little snippet from the original brainstorming of the podcast and how true to our original idea we have been. Marijn Somers and I had this idea of doing something for fun, and it is fun. However, even I am amazed that the original concept has held firm, especially for two guys that find structure in our podcasts a difficult thing to maintain.

This blog is driven by the ideas and conversation in the Steve and Marijn Podcast Barcelona Tapes Matured Awareness https://www.office365distilled.com/82 check it out.

When you better understand the role that desire plays in change, you can start to see how it can be used to create real, lasting transformation.

It's one thing to get people to want something - but it's another thing entirely to get them to actually do it. The key is to turn that desire into knowledge.

This blog is driven by the ideas and conversation in the
Steve and Marijn Podcast https://www.office365distilled.com/82 check it out.

When it comes to increasing your chances of success within a change process, you better make sure that your people are aware of what is happening, why it is happening, and how it will affect them.
Proper awareness will minimize the risk of people being unaware of the change and its consequences.

The ADKAR change management model is a framework that you can use to guide individuals and organizations through the process of change. In our previous blog, we took a look at the overall process of ADKAR. Now, let's dive deeper into the first stage of the model: Awareness.
Without awareness, there can be no desire to change. This is why it is essential to create awareness around the proposed change before moving on to any other steps.

Good morning, this morning has a promise to it!

2 podcasts from Marijn & Steve ready to mix down and publish during our holidays... patience people...

11/07/2022

Nearly 100 Episodes ago Marijn Somers and I decided it would be fun to do a podcast together. Today he turns the ripe old age of 40 and it seems appropriate to say thank you for the friendship and time together doing some pretty cool crap... Shooting Guns, Watching very fast F1 cars, talking about Microsoft365 and helping people do it better, chasing down alligators, part busses, Kicking off new business ideas and other cool s**t, But our best thing is discovering and tasting very interesting Whisk(e)y and talking about it. From Barcelona to the USA, to the Netherlands, to France to Scotland and the UK.

Congratulations on reaching 40 today and surviving may the next 40 be just as rewarding. Oh and I should share your MS Teams Viva name 'Bon Vivant' it just sort of typifies what we do.

After a visit to the Microsoft365 club, Marijn follows upon an idea to place MS Teams as the Hub for Applications. Steve and Marijn take time to expand on the strategy idea of using ‘MS Teams as a Hub’
