Conceptual moves for designing innovative superminds | Using a supermind to design a supermind: A case study of university researchers and corporate executives co-designing an innovative healthcare concept

(...) Thomas Malone recognized that this idea of “superminding” a decision process was a way of exploring a key aspect of the design space of alternative approaches for undertaking the activities under consideration. And he saw that additional superminds principles, along with ideas from complementary prior CCI research, could be used to develop other techniques for systematically exploring that design space. He coined the term “conceptual moves” to describe these techniques, since they provided a structured way to move from current practice and explore potential alternatives.

Since the workshop, CIDL has continued to develop these moves. Four new ones have beenadded:

- Zoom in (to focus on a part of an activity); - Zoom out (to focus on a larger whole of which this one is a part); - Assign (specialize an activity by determining who will do it); - Incentivize (specialize to select how to motivate an actor to undertake an activity, e.g.,money, glory, or love (Malone et al. 2010).

In addition, the move initially called Supermind was renamed Groupify to make clearer that itinvolved shifting to a group perspective, and Distant Analogies was renamed Analogize, for consistency’s sake (after that change, all of the moves were designated by verbs).

HeyBnb, a Leading Alternate Stays Online Marketplace Launches “Groupify” to Target the Explosive Group Traveler Segment

HeyBnb, a Leading Alternate Stays Online Marketplace Launches “Groupify” to Target the Explosive Group Traveler Segment

Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

With the Indian alternate stays market growing geometrically on an annual basis and the number of India Nationals travelling abroad also increasing at a record pace, HeyBnb, the leading Alternate Stays booking platform in India for in country and outbound accommodations, has launched “Groupify” –customized experiences to guests traveling in groups of 4 to 10. Through this unique focus on Group Stays, HeyBnb promises not only the most competitive offers and options for group travel but also a dedicated “virtual front desk” for customer support and service. To date, India has not seen a service provider specializing in providing accommodation for groups.

Through market studies and customer feedback, HeyBnb realized that accommodations for groups are often inconvenient for the members of the group due to separate hotel rooms, with very strict rules and regulations by the hotels and resorts and high costs which keeps multiplying as the number of people in the group increases. This applies to not only multigenerational trips by families but also wedding groups and friends travelling with each other. HeyBnb now offers in India and major international cities group accommodations in alternate stays which are much more affordable and convenient to the guests with a lot of independence and freedom to stay together in a single property. “It became clear to us that there was a huge demand in India and throughout Southeast Asia for friends and families to travel in groups whether in India or abroad. Groupify makes this a reality in a seamless fashion,” said Kenny Blatt, Co-Founder of HeyBnb.

HeyBnb now offers its travelers unique villas and bungalows, tents, cottages, camps, chalets, multi room apartments and more providing a new and unique experience to the people travelling in groups across the globe. The group stays has a huge demand in the corporate sector as well which often faces a lot of problems in terms of high costs which result in shorter trips. HeyBnb promises a solution to these groups by providing an affordable as well as unique stay experience. “Many C level executives at times want to take family members and extend stays and Groupify allows them to do so,” said Kenny.

HeyBnb, through its promotions, firmly believes in the old concept of travelling with extended families and Groupify addresses this need head on. The company is also promoting the re-union of old friends and celebrates the spirit of friendship through its specially launched hashtag of “#Groupify.”

So, go ahead and let your family reunions, wedding get-togethers, friends travelling together to catch up,  all happen with HeyBnb and Groupify!

About Heybnb

Emerging as a swiftly growing global company, HeyBnB was established in late 2016. With its headquarters in Singapore and business operations in Bangalore, the Silicon Valley of India, HeyBnb is a trusted online marketplace and hospitality service that provides users to list, explore and book short stay accommodations in India and around the world whether it be from a mobile phone, tablet or online. HeyBnB is currently operating in more than 70 cities in India and 28 countries all over the world. With more than 25,000 listings, HeyBnb brings together hosts wishing to earn extra money from extra space in their properties and the travellers seeking comfortable and affordable alternate stays via internet.

"SharePoint and Teams: Better Together" by Bob German originally published June 14th 2018 in Microsoft SharePoint Blog articles

(Cross-posted and updated from Bob's Vantage Point)

Collaboration Silos

Traditionally, our collaboration tools have been divided into silos based on the mode of communication. In the Microsoft space, we've used Outlook and Exchange for persistent messaging, Skype for Business for real-time communication, and SharePoint to provide a place to share documents and other information.

Collaboration silos

These tools work together to provide for our communications needs, whether they're real-time, message based, or documents and other content. They work well together, but they're still separate programs we have to run, and constantly flip between. As we do, the information is organized differently in each tool: most of us view email by date, Skype by person, and SharePoint by project or team. That's a lot of context switching! Of course we're all used to this, and probably don't even notice how much of our attention goes into it.

  Microsoft Teams aligns all these modes of communication under a single "pane of glass", so we can focus on collaboration rather than collaboration tools. For certain kinds of communication - specifically anything involving a team of people - it's a lot easier than juggling multiple tools.

How did we get here?

Most electronic communication and collaboration tools have evolved from the real world. Mail was the first to make the leap from real world to online when, in 1971 at BBN, Ray Tomlinson combined features of two pre-Internet programs, SNDMSG and CPYNET, to send the first email. One by one, electronic implementations of the other ways of communicating came along, as shown in the table below.

Real world Electronic Characteristics Product Mail Email Persistent messaging Exchange Telephone, telegraph, pagers Chat, voice, video, conferencing Real-time communication Skype for Business Paper: files, documents, pages, bulletin boards, newspapers Shared workspaces Shared storage and presentation SharePoint

This led to a world where our collaboration products are metaphors for things in real world, along with their incumbent limitations.

Like their real-world forebears, email and real-time communication tools are organized by recipient; that is, communications are delivered to a person or a group of people sharing an inbox or Skype identity. If that recipient is a modern information worker, this soon leads to chaos, as communications from everywhere about every topic piles up in a big heap on the doorstep. No wonder keeping up with email is such a Sisyphean effort!

Shared workspaces are different because they're organized by topic rather than by recipient. Let's share everything about Project X here, and everything about Topic Y over there. You might end up with a big heap of information, but it won't be random, it will all be related to a single topic that you've already indicated interest in by your membership. That's a big help!

A new generation of collaboration tools

Teams, and other tools like it, align all forms of communication to topics instead of individual people. This has a number of benefits:

When you're focused on a task, everything you need is likely to be in the same place: messages, meetings, notes, documents, are all together, along with immediate real-time access to teammates who are online

You can work "in the open", eliminating the need for extra emails. For example, when you upload a document to Teams, a notification is automatically shown in the channel so everybody knows about it; no need to send an email announcement, or an email asking where the document is.

The team can have a conversation right in the channel about the information there, eliminating the need to send links to information into Outlook or Skype (or worse, to attach duplicate copies)

Working day to day in Teams feels a lot more streamlined, and is a welcome change from the traditional tool set.

So how does this relate to SharePoint?

Both Teams and SharePoint team sites are organized by topic, project, organization, or some other focal point for a team of people. Hence, in any given organization, Teams and channels will often follow a similar structure to SharePoint team and project sites.

In fact, this is inherent in the design. Every Microsoft Team automatically has a modern SharePoint team site associated with it; that's where channel documents are stored. Each channel is associated with a folder in the SharePoint site's document library. In addition, files sent between users outside of a Teams channel are stored in the sender's OneDrive for Business folder.

As Mark Kashman pointed out in this recent Teams on Air episode, there are a number of advantages to storing Teams documents in SharePoint and OneDrive for Business:

The OneDrive sync client works on Windows or Mac, so it's easy to sync all the files for a Team

Document co-authoring and and the online versions of Office applications depend on two special protocols (WOPI and FSSHTTP); since they're built into SharePoint and OneDrive, they also work in Teams

SharePoint provides previews for more than 300 file types, which are displayed directly in the Teams file tab

SharePoint and OneDrive have comprehensive data governance and compliance features, so Teams documents are protected as well. These include:

Automatic classification and labelling

Data loss prevention

Document retention policies, disposition review, and event-based retention

eDiscovery and legal holds

Files are discoverable in Delve and SharePoint search

Users don't have to leave Teams to work with their files; they appear in the Files tab. There's an "Open in SharePoint" option that brings you right into the SharePoint site.

SharePoint Pages in Teams

It's also possible to add SharePoint pages as tabs in Teams. This provides a much easier approach to building tabs compared with the typical approach of building a custom website from scratch. All the information on a team site home page can appear there, providing the best of both SharePoint and Teams in the same user interface.

  Sharepoint site home page in a channel

It's also possible to put a whole document in a tab. This can be useful, for example, to share a key presentation or to track information in a spreadsheet that's easily accessed by the whole team.

  PowerPoint document in a channel

Conversations and News

There have been a number of (mostly failed) attempts at bringing conversations into SharePoint. Discussion lists and news feeds were part of SharePoint but never caught on (perhaps because of usability challenges with discussion lists and immediate backpedaling by Microsoft on SharePoint Social). A number of 3rd party offerings have worked to address this as well. Many of the more successful 3rd party offerings focus on the "outer loop" of communication - that is, broader corporate communication. Yammer is the tool of choice for this within the Office 365 suite; perhaps next year I'll be able to post a similar article about Yammer integration but so far it's not nearly as extensive as what we have with Teams and SharePoint.

For the "inner loop", Teams puts the conversation on center stage, which makes a lot of sense; SharePoint augments this with documents and other shared information. In fact, you can even (finally!) have a conversation about a document directly.

  Document conversation

The same conversation is shown in the channel along with a link to the document, so people can't miss it.

Document conversation in a channel

But what about team news that transcends the conversation? Perhaps a new phase of a project is starting, or you want to highlight a success. Those things could easily be lost in the Teams conversation thread, so SharePoint news is a perfect vehicle for those kinds of messages.

Modern SharePoint sites include a light-weight publishing system for news pages. These pages bubble up on web parts, in Hub sites, on the SharePoint Home page, in the SharePoint mobile app, and now in Teams as well. Soon new news items will be announced right in the channel.

  SharePoint news announcements in a channel

SharePoint web parts as tabs

At the recent SharePoint Conference North America, Vesa Juvonen demonstrated a new feature on the roadmap that will allow SharePoint Framework web parts to be used as tabs in Teams. This will allow easy reuse of web parts, and bring Teams tab development in easy reach of SharePoint developers. It also removes the question of where to host a custom tab: the hosting is automatic, and tab properties are set using a variation on the familiar web part editing experience.. 

Making the Switch

Hopefully by now you're getting the idea that Teams and SharePoint are indeed better together, but how do you get there?

  First, you need to determine if you have a classic or a modern team site collection. In the top-level site, start by clicking the gear and looking for an option called, "Site Information". If you don't see "Site Information", you're on a classic page in a classic site - how classic! If you see "Site Information," click it; now you know you're on a modern page but you still might be on ac classic site. A panel will swing out from the right; if it includes "Group usage guidelines" and "Privacy settings", then you've got a modern Team site that's backed by an Office 365 group. If not, you've got a classic site with a modern page. This picture shows the classic Site Information panel on the left and the modern one on the right:

  OK so now you know if your site is classic or modern... if it's classic you need to "groupify" it (add an Office 365 Group) before you can add a Team; instructions are here. Once that's done, or if your site is already modern, it's easy to add the Team.

  Just go to Microsoft Teams and click "Join or create a team" near the bottom left of the screen, then click the Create a team button.

    Instead of filling in the "Create your team" form, click the link to "Create a team from an existing Office 365 group."

     You'll be shown a list of all the Office 365 Groups you own; pick one and click "Choose Team"

    That's all there is to it! To add the home page to any channel, click the "+" sign to the right of the channel tabs and pick the "SharePoint" tab. Choose a page you'd like to display and click "Save" to create the tab.

    The result is a new tab that displays your page perfectly!

      There's no reason to be left out - please try it out and let us know how it's working for you in the comments!

"Modernize your SharePoint team sites by connecting them to new Office 365 groups" by Mark Kashman originally published June 6th 2018 in Microsoft SharePoint Blog articles

SharePoint powers content collaboration in Office 365. At work, it is important for every team member to streamline efforts and stay on the same page. Group-connected SharePoint team sites provide a central location to manage team files, input and connect to important data, and share timely news. With insight into what drives the most engagement and value, people can course correct and optimize for greatest impact.

  Users have been adopting modern SharePoint lists and libraries and creating modern pages. And now it’s time to bring the full power of SharePoint and Office 365 to all your sites. We’re excited to announce that you can now further modernize your existing (classic) sites by connecting them to new Office 365 groups.

  It is easy to connect your existing SharePoint site to a new Office 365 group. [30-second looping GIF]

This connection also allows you to associate your site to a SharePoint hub site now that it has a modern home page, and the site will look and function better via the SharePoint mobile app.

  Connect your existing SharePoint sites to a new Office 365 group

You can connect your site to a new Office 365 group from the user interface site-by-site, which might be good for smaller environments. However, larger customers often want to offer a consistent experience to their users, and therefore want to perform a bulk operation of their sites. Last month, we made tools available for admins to connect existing sites to new Office 365 Groups.

  Being able to connect an Office 365 group to an existing SharePoint site is important if you want to modernize that site and provide additional group capabilities to all team members. In addition to using modern pages, lists and libraries already available in your classic sites, once you have connected your site to an Office 365 group, it can benefit from all other shared group-connected apps such as Outlook for a group inbox and calendar, Planner for task management, Microsoft Teams for real-time, persistent chat, and more.

  Now, we are expanding this capability to site owners directly from the team sites they own and manage.  When enabled in your environment, it’s easy to get started.  As a site owner, you can initiate the group connection by selecting Connect to new Office 365 Group from the upper-right site gear menu. Note: if this does not appear, either your tenant does not yet have this capability as it takes several weeks to roll out to all customers, or you are not a site owner of that site.

  From an existing (classic) SharePoint site, select "Connect to a new Office 365 Group" from the upper-right gear icon menu to start the process.

This will launch an experience that will guide you step-by-step through the group connection process, where you provide details for the new Office 365 group, including name, email address, members and owners.  Upon completion, you will be presented with a new, modern home page created for your site with a new, editable page with new web parts to get you started– including a site activity web part that highlights relevant content actions occurring within your site. The page also includes a new link to the group’s inbox in the left navigation and a header with relevant group information and membership. Plus, when you hover on the team site name at the top, you will see the new group car that gives quick access to other apps and shows more about the group and what’s happening beyond the site.

  Rest assured that all your previous content remains in the site, and a link to the previous home page is also added to the site’s navigation. No site left behind, AND no content left behind. Just moving forward!

  After stepping through a few wizard-driven steps to add members and owners and adjust settings if needed, you'll be presented with an updated site connected to Office 365 group apps.

Beyond your content, all existing permissions in the site remain the same as well.  This ensures that anyone that had access to resources in the site will continue to have them once it is group connected.

    The updated Site permissions experience is available to site owners from the upper-right gear icon menu to allow inline management of site permissions and invite others to collaborate.

  Get started today!

There is no reason to delay. Start your modernization journey now.  Get the most out of the power of SharePoint and Office 365 Groups to boost people productivity across your company.

  SharePoint powers content collaboration for the modern workplace, enabling teamwork with team sites connected to Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Planner and more. Whether you call this ‘site modernization,’ ‘groupify’ or ‘no site left behind’ - start connecting your existing SharePoint sites to new Office 365 groups today! You’ll jump for joyify for sure.

  Thanks,

Mark Kashman and Tejas Mehta, SharePoint team - Microsoft
