Microsoft Teams and Governance are better together

Updated: Nov 29, 2020

Microsoft Teams is more than just a technology, it is a platform for a new way of working, getting the most out of MS Teams requires a focus on team effectiveness and governance. Microsoft Teams' adoption without an organized and predictable way to govern the teamwork effectiveness, lifecycle, privacy, and security will always have a direct or indirect impact on the productivity, reputation, and profit of an organization.


Effective Teamwork as seen below in the 6 Team conditions relies on a careful design as a foundation to a high performing team. At Infotechtion, we enable organizations to achieve effective teamwork through a single 'Teams Hub' providing 3 core enablers to ensure an organized approach to Team effectiveness.
