The Future of… is a series designed to give readers insight into some of today’s biggest topics. futurethink sifts through all the noise to uncover the fundamental trends that will affect your organization over the next few years. In this issue, we explore The Future of Social Networks
An effective on-site social optimization strategy consists of three key components: social connectivity, the connected experience, and social analytics. Social connectivity involves connecting a site to social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn using their APIs. This allows users to register using their social identities and share content. The connected experience enhances how users can share and interact socially on the site. Social analytics analyzes the results to improve the social business strategy and see returns from increased traffic, sales, and brand awareness.
This document discusses how marketers target children through digital technologies. As children develop digital literacy at a young age, often with unsupervised internet access, marketers have developed new strategies to target them online. These strategies include advertising through games, videos, and social media using bright colors and movement to attract children's attention. Marketers also collect personal information from children through online surveys and use it to personalize ads. While targeting children, marketers aim to develop brand loyalty from a young age and influence $500 billion in annual household purchasing swayed by children.
Creating Buzz: Marketing in the Age of Social MediaAlex S.
Social media has become an essential marketing tool for companies, allowing them to reach a vast audience and generate buzz around their brand. Content marketing through social platforms like YouTube and Twitter can be highly effective if the content resonates with customers and gives them a reason to engage with and share the brand. However, social media also presents risks as messages can spread unpredictably. Early pioneers of social media marketing like Dove and Taco Bell demonstrate how engaging, authentic content and interactions build customer relationships and drive online buzz. While social media brings risks of loss of message control, it has fundamentally changed marketing and companies must embrace these new channels to stay successful.
1. The document discusses computer-mediated communication (CMC) and how it has influenced relationship formation and online identities over the internet's history.
2. Key aspects of CMC discussed include how it allows for widespread relationship building but can also blur reality, its impacts on social media use and power dynamics, and how it facilitates the spread of internet memes from person to person.
3. While CMC enables connection, it also presents disadvantages like lack of rich communication and potential for online conflict if messages are misinterpreted. Overall CMC is shaped by both individual motivations and cultural influences online.
Speech "The Future Of Social Networks: Where We Are Today" given on Thursday, Jan. 22, 2008 to the San Francisco American Marketing Association at the offices of Adaptive Path. Focus is primarily on the marketing and advertising opportunities in social media in the future.
This document discusses new and mobile media technologies and their impact. It covers how social media platforms have enabled entrepreneurs to create new apps, how angel investors and crowdfunding support startups, and how platforms like Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest have grown. Mobile devices are driving more video and social media engagement. Technologies like geotagging and Google Glass integrate location and hands-free access to social media, while raising issues around privacy and information overload for marketers in an "always on" environment.
The document provides information on Mark Zuckerberg and the founding of Facebook. It details how Zuckerberg created "Facemash" in 2003 which objectified Harvard students and got him in disciplinary trouble. It then summarizes the founding of Facebook in 2004, its mission/vision, key people, and a timeline of events including data breaches and actions taken in response.
The document discusses the benefits of social media engagement beyond just marketing. It describes how social media allows organizations to raise awareness, position themselves as thought leaders, and directly converse with audiences. It also provides tips for using Twitter for crisis communication, such as being direct and honest, sharing information quickly, and responding to questions publicly. Finally, it discusses how opening government data and services through application programming interfaces (APIs) can democratize data and engage citizens to improve operations through feedback.
Performance management and social media in local governmentIngrid Koehler

The goal is to participate in conversations to build relationships and a supportive community around a brand.
Lava Row Camp: What's next: Emerging trends in social and new mediaNathan Wright
This presentation was given at Lava Row Camp on November 4, 2009. We discussed emerging social and new media trends such as location-based social networks (Gowalla & Foursquare), Google's social networking initiatives, Google Sidewiki, Google Social Search, the future of Twitter and Facebook, and augmented reality.
This document discusses three key trends impacting social media and the third sector: 1) Commercialization of social media platforms is pushing them towards paid communication models; 2) Organizations are transforming into "social businesses" requiring cultural changes; 3) The rise of big data is increasing expectations for metrics-driven, data-analyzed communication but also costs. These trends present both opportunities and challenges for nonprofit communication strategies.
1. Social media networks allow users to share content like text, images, and videos. Popular social networks include Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
2. Facebook aims to make the world more open and connected. Twitter connects users through real-time information and stories. LinkedIn connects professionals to help them achieve career success.
3. While social networks provide benefits like education, communication, and networking, they also pose disadvantages such as lack of privacy, distraction, antisocial behavior, and cyberbullying.
The document discusses the rise of social networking and how marketers can leverage social commerce (s-commerce) opportunities. It provides examples of how brands like Miller Lite and Dell created online communities and microsites within social networks to engage customers, gain consumer insights, and increase brand advocacy. The document recommends that marketers research consumer behaviors, develop online research programs, design s-commerce sites focused on sales/service, and engage consumers through participation and applying learnings.
Social Media: Corporate Reputation at RiskAlex Schaerer
This document discusses the importance of managing corporate reputation on social media. It notes that with over 2 billion Facebook and 300 million Twitter users, social media allows for greater scrutiny of organizations. Poor communication or hidden facts can damage brands, while transparency builds trust. The risks of social media include reputation damage, information disclosure, and legal issues. However, having a public relations strategy and being responsive in crises can help mitigate risks. The document provides tips for protecting corporate reputation, such as responding quickly to issues and developing communication channels.
The document discusses how social media is changing how companies interact with customers and the importance of brands engaging with customers through social platforms. It provides an overview of major social media platforms and statistics on how people are using social media. The presentation emphasizes that social media is the new standard for how customers research and buy products so companies need strategies for effectively engaging audiences online.
Traditional advertising methods like banner ads were becoming ineffective as users saw more ads and clicked on fewer. This led advertisers to experiment with user-generated content to promote their brands more passively. Red Bull in particular created a media company to produce their own engaging content across different platforms. Their Stratos space jump broadcast drew over 8 million YouTube views and widespread attention, demonstrating how desirable advertiser content can connect with consumers when it provides value beyond just promoting products. Now, content marketing is a leading strategy for building brand recognition and conversions compared to traditional targeted ads.
1. Online socialization and virtual communities are increasingly being used to provide social support through forums, messaging, and social networks.
2. Different types of online support include informational, emotional, esteem, and tangible aid through social networks.
3. Studies show acceptance and benefits of online socialization, though it does not replace offline relationships. Seniors are increasingly using the internet for social support.
4. Examples of online social support models include instant local communities through flash mobs, online dating sites for friendship and relationships, business networking, and health support communities. The future will see more convergence of online and offline interactions for social support.
Non Profit 2.0: How Web 2.0 is changing the game for Non ProfitsAvinash Jhangiani
Identifies key drivers and trends relevant to NPO leaders. Shows how some NPOs are using Web 2.0 for online fundraising, recruit volunteers, building supporter communities, etc.
Facebook conducted an experiment on 689,003 users without their consent by altering their newsfeeds to be more positive or negative. The goal was to see if emotional content in the newsfeed influenced the emotional nature of users' own posts. Critics say this was unethical psychological manipulation, while Facebook argues users consented to research in the terms and conditions. The results showed moods can spread online as users exposed to more positive feeds posted more positively and vice versa. Questions remain about whether this type of experiment requires explicit consent.
Social Technology
by Marti A. Hearst
We are in the midst of extraordinary
change in how people interact with one
another and with information. A
combination of advances in technology
and change in people's expectations is
altering the way products are sold,
scientific problems are solved, software
is written, elections are conducted, and
government is run.
People are social animals, and as Shirky
notes, we now have tools that are
flexible enough to match our in-built
social capabilities. Things can get
done that weren't possible before
because the right expertise, the missing
information, or a large enough group of
people can now be gathered together at
low cost.
These developments open a number of
interesting questions for NSF and CISE.
What are the key research problems? How
should these developments change how
research is conducted? How can the
intersection of social science and
technology research be aided or
improved? And how should this effect
how NSF researchers get involved with
relevant government efforts, including
transparent government, emergency
response, and citizen science?
In this talk I attempt to summarize
and put some structure around some of
these developments.
Social Media for Career and Business Development #FISConferenceSu Butcher
This document discusses using social media for career and business development. It provides tips on using platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter to find and engage with your target audience, be visible to potential connections, find people to follow and interact with, participate in online conversations, and publish helpful content to demonstrate your expertise. The overall message is that social media can be leveraged for professional networking and development if you focus on engaging with and helping your target audience.
The document discusses how social networks can be made more interoperable by adopting common standards like microformats to publish user profile and friend network information. This would allow profile and friend data to be portable between sites and avoid siloed data. Specific microformats like hCard and XFN are presented as ways to mark up user profiles, links to other profile pages, and friends lists so they can be reused across sites to connect the social web in the way the original web connected via hyperlinks. Examples are given for how to implement hCards and XFN in profiles, profile equivalency links, and friends lists.
This document presents information about social networks. It defines social networks and discusses their key features, types including generic, professional, and thematic networks. The document also outlines advantages such as connecting with others and finding people with shared interests, as well as disadvantages like loss of privacy and potential addiction. Popular social networking activities are also mentioned. In conclusions, the document discusses what was learned about social networks and their importance in other countries.

The Future of Social Networks on the Internet: The Need for SemanticsJohn Breslin
The document discusses the future of social networks on the internet and the need for semantics. It notes that current social media sites operate as isolated data silos and proposes connecting these islands by allowing users to easily move between sites and bring their data. The document outlines issues with existing social networking services and proposes leveraging semantics through standards like FOAF and SIOC to enable interoperability across sites.
The document discusses the future of social networks. It predicts that social networks will become ubiquitous like air, with a single social graph and universal identity across platforms. Relationships and activities will be linked across sites through federated identity and data portability. The value of social networks for marketing will increase as influence is defined by people's social connections and endorsements. Social networks will evolve into open platforms that integrate social data and enable activities rather than lock users into isolated sites.
The document discusses the future of social networks and how they will evolve. It predicts that social networks will become ubiquitous and integrated across many online experiences. Friends and social profiles will be accessible everywhere on the web through universal sign-in systems. Social graphs and user behavior data will be leveraged for targeted advertising within social networks and across the web. Privacy and permission standards must evolve to give users control over how their social data is used.

The document summarizes a presentation about the future of social networks. It discusses how mobility will enhance social networks and the need for universal identities, a single social graph, social context for activities, and social influence to define marketing value for ubiquitous social networks. It also examines how Twitter has grown exponentially but still lacks a clear monetization strategy and whether it will be adopted by younger users.
Presentation at SFAMA, January 12, 2010. Includes new concepts of social context providing relevancy, how to measure social technology benefit using lifetime value.
Social networks will become ubiquitous like air, with universal sign-in across platforms. Social media will also move into enterprise applications and devices like TV. To be successful, companies should focus on relationships not technologies, measure engagement and lifetime value, create new social-enabled workflows, be ready to give up some control to customers, and fail fast and smart through risk-taking and learning from mistakes. The future of social will be defined by openness, context awareness, and asynchronous and real-time conversation around shared interests.
Web2.0.2012 - lesson 9 - social networksCarlo Vaccari
The document discusses social networks and their value and importance. It covers topics like how social networks derive value from user participation, how they promote cooperation and shared content creation. It also discusses key concepts like Metcalfe's Law and Reed's Law, which explain how the value of networks increases exponentially with the number of users. Examples of popular social networks like Facebook, YouTube and Wikipedia are provided throughout.

Social Networking - Past , Present , Future Adheaven.net
Social networking has evolved from early platforms like AOL in the 1990s to modern giants like Facebook. It began by focusing on communication and connecting with known contacts, but has since expanded to include sharing photos, videos and other content. Early social networks appealed mainly to specific demographics but became more universal as platforms opened up. Issues around privacy and third party access to personal information are growing concerns. The future of social networking involves portability of social graphs between platforms, focusing networks around true relationships rather than all being combined, and integration into other websites and applications.
Social networking has evolved from early platforms like AOL and personal websites to modern platforms like Facebook and Twitter. It began by focusing on communication and connecting with others but now supports sharing photos, videos and other content. Early social networks were exclusive to certain demographics but became more open and mainstream over time. Privacy is becoming a bigger concern as more personal information is shared. Social networking is also becoming pervasive across other websites and on mobile. It will likely split into separate layers and networks in the future to better support different types of relationships and sharing.

This document discusses social networking sites and their rise in popularity. It outlines some key facts about social media usage, such as 9 out of 10 US internet users visiting social networks each month and over 1 billion users on virtual world sites in 2010. The document also lists some advantages of social networks, like easily keeping in touch with friends and family, and disadvantages, such as increased risk of online scams. Recommendations are made to address privacy concerns from apps and help businesses contact customers. In conclusion, social networks are seen as having a bright future but still need to deal with associated problems.
LSS'09 Keynote Making Sense Of The Networked Audience, Dr B HoganLocal Social Summit
Making sense of the networked audience: The case of Facebook
- Dr. Bernie Hogan is a Research Fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute
Social media sites are excellent at gathering friends, but not so great at making sense of them. This leads to social information overload: too many ties, too much information and too much tedium. There is a great deal of information latent in these friendships that can be used to make sense of our networks, both spatially and relationally. Particularly through the use of social network analysis (SNA), we can discover hidden influencers and coherent clusters. This talk will give an overview of some concepts of social network analysis and demonstrate how these can be applied to online social media sites.
Bernie will use as case study his ongoing fieldwork on Facebook with Microsoft Research that demonstrates mismatches between the way individuals organize their online friendships and the way that order emerges from the friendships naturally. These findings will be distilled into some general principles that can be applied to social network sites generally.
The document discusses the rise of social media and its impact. Some key points include:
- Social media usage has grown significantly, with billions of thoughts shared online daily through photos, videos, reviews and more.
- Younger generations especially trust peer recommendations from social networks more than traditional media.
- For organizations, embracing social media is important to engage communities and remain relevant, as these tools will continue growing in importance.

Leading Digital Transformation: Putting People FirstCharlene Li
Slides for speech at HR Tech Expo by NCHRA on August 25, 2017. Based on research by Prophet "HR as a Force for Digital Change" available at https://goo.gl/qu7rN3.
Description: Transformations are never easy, and the digital transformation is doubly so because of the technology angle. HR leaders must work the fine line between pushing executives and teams to be agile and change faster, while still enabling the organization to deliver on near-term objectives.
We'll examine the challenges and opportunities that digital creates, and the crucial role that HR leaders play in bringing about the transformation needed to help your organization thrive in the digital era.
Top Digital Transformation Trends and Priorities for 2016Charlene Li
Given the importance of digital transformation and the never ending onslaught of new technologies, how should organization prioritize limited resources, time, and attention? This presentation to the San Francisco American Marketing Association is the 7th year in a row when Charlene has presented her take of top digital trends.
"The Engaged Leader" at SXSW InteractiveCharlene Li
Presentation by Charlene Li at SXSW Interactive, Austin, TX on Saturday, March 14, 2015 (Pi Day)
Title: Creating A Digital Engagement Strategy for Leaders
Description: Digital and social technologies have revolutionized relationships – and leadership is not immune. Despite the pressure to engage, leaders remain on the sidelines, paralyzed by fear and the unknown. We’ll look at how leaders can use technology to listen, share, and engage with employees and customers, at scale. We’ll also discuss common objections and concerns of leaders – and how to address them.
TED Talk "Giving Up Control: Leading in the Digital Era"Charlene Li
To lead effectively in the digital era, leaders must create a culture of sharing where people are engaged in their work similar to how teenagers are engaged online. Leaders also need to practice followership by learning to trust others rather than relying solely on hierarchies. Finally, leaders must make meaningful decisions and give up some control in order to lead in the digital era through creating a sharing culture, practicing followership, and making decisions.
TED Talk Script: "Giving Up Control - Leading in the Digital Era"Charlene Li
Charlene Li discusses three things that organizations can do to help leaders transition to leading in the digital era:
1. Create a culture of sharing where middle managers facilitate information sharing rather than hoard it.
2. Encourage the practice of followership so employees build networks and influence without relying on title.
3. Ensure networks are used to make meaningful decisions, like having employees suggest process cuts for the CEO to prioritize, so managers see networks driving real work.
This is a presentation that's part of a series in which LinkedIn Influencers analyze the state and future of their industry. You can read the posts at https://www.linkedin.com/channels/the_economy?trk=prod-inf-myindustry-0325-cutline
This document discusses strategies for businesses to succeed in a world transformed by social media. It provides a six-phase framework for developing social business maturity: 1) Planning, 2) Presence, 3) Engagement, 4) Formalized, 5) Strategic, and 6) Transformation. The key lessons are that social strategies often fail due to a lack of clear business goals; strategy requires planning initiatives across departments and over multiple years; and transforming the business fully is the ultimate goal, where business itself is social.
Leadership and Social Media in EducationCharlene Li
"Leadership and Social Media" examines the use of social media in public education, with examples from California and other public schools. By Charlene Li at the ACSA Superintendents Symposium, January 30, 2013 in Monterey, CA
Presentation by Charlene Li at Adobe Summit, March 7, 2013 in Salt Lake City, UT. Description; New technologies pop up every day that allow us to now connect and communicate with each other in real time. Yet marketing organizations are wired for a by-gone era when there was the luxury of time. These new dynamic customer relationships require not only a new mindset, but also new skills, capabilities, and organizations.
The document summarizes key social media trends for 2013, including:
1) The emergence of converged media, which utilizes multiple paid, owned, and earned media channels for consistent messaging.
2) The need for real-time marketing to engage dynamic customers, requiring coordinated paid, owned, and earned execution.

Presentation at Seminarium Peru on 15 November 2012 by Charlene Li in Lima. Two presentations were given.
Speech #1: Creating A Successful Social Business Marketing Strategy
With almost a billion members, Facebook's growth and stature is representative of the maturing social media landscape. Social technologies are no longer a bright shiny object, instead representing valuable relationships that require a coherent strategy and disciplined execution.
This session will make a case that social technologies should be a mainstay of your marketing program rather than a second cousin of interactive marketing. We'll look at the implications of this priority shift, using case studies from companies who are making changes to their overall business and marketing programs. We'll also go through a checklist of the actions you'll need to prioritize to be successful.
Speech #2: Title: Marketing In The Era Of Social Technologies
The excitement around social media often centers on the technologies -- Facebook, blogs, Twitter, etc. etc. But this is the wrong approach. Rather than think about crafting a strategy around social technologies, leaders should be pondering how they can use social technologies to support and strengthen customer relationships.
For many, Groundswell was the book that broke down barriers to accepting social technologies as an opportunity to make their businesses better. Open Leadership picks up where Groundswell left off, showing leaders how to open up business and create a culture that will make social media adoption–and on a greater level, adoption of a social business model–possible and successful.
We'll be looking at the art -- and the science -- of how to tap into the power of customers and employees, including examples of what organizations and leaders are successfully doing today, as well as how to get your organization started.
Altimeter presents research, case studies and process for creating a social media program. Also includes a brief introduction to Altimeter Academy which supports social media training programs for organizations.

A Brave New World - Where Conference KeynoteCharlene Li
Keynote at Where Conference, April 3, 2012 by Charlene Li.
Description: Our personal devices provide endless streams of data set in context of who we are, where we are, who we know, and what we do. But what can we realistically expect the future to look like, and how soon will it be before it gets here? The key is to understand what new opportunities are unleashed through the combination of these different contextual data – and overlay what is probably given business model, social, technology, and political constraints. We’ll also look at what this brave new world means in terms of actions you must take today.
Altimeter Report: Making The Business Case For Enterprise Social NetworkingCharlene Li
In 2011, the US hit a milestone — more than half of all adults visit social networking sites at least once a month. But when it comes to using social-networking technologies inside organizations, many business leaders are at a loss to understand what value can be created from Facebook-like status updates within the enterprise. Some organizations have deployed social-networking features with an initial enthusiastic reception, only to see these early efforts wither to just a few stalwart participants. The problem: Most companies approach enterprise social networks as a technology deployment and fail to understand that the new relationships created by enterprise social networks are the source for value creation. In this first of two reports, Altimeter looks at four ways enterprise social networks create value for organizations.
Preparing For The Future Of Social MediaCharlene Li
This document summarizes a presentation about preparing for the future of social media. It discusses how social media has grown rapidly since 2007 with the debut of the iPhone and popular sites like Facebook. It notes that social media visits are now daily habits for most. The presentation also suggests three key things for the future: 1) consumers will reward transparent companies, 2) people want to be known individually through their data, and 3) connected employees will create a culture of sharing. It stresses that social media strategies require goals, discipline, and building the right capabilities.

Supercharge Your AI Development with Local LLMsFrancesco Corti
In today's AI development landscape, developers face significant challenges when building applications that leverage powerful large language models (LLMs) through SaaS platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and others. While these services offer impressive capabilities, they come with substantial costs that can quickly escalate especially during the development lifecycle. Additionally, the inherent latency of web-based APIs creates frustrating bottlenecks during the critical testing and iteration phases of development, slowing down innovation and frustrating developers.
This talk will introduce the transformative approach of integrating local LLMs directly into their development environments. By bringing these models closer to where the code lives, developers can dramatically accelerate development lifecycles while maintaining complete control over model selection and configuration. This methodology effectively reduces costs to zero by eliminating dependency on pay-per-use SaaS services, while opening new possibilities for comprehensive integration testing, rapid prototyping, and specialized use cases.

Microsoft Build 2025 takeaways in one presentationDigitalmara
Microsoft Build 2025 introduced significant updates. Everything revolves around AI. DigitalMara analyzed these announcements:
• AI enhancements for Windows 11
By embedding AI capabilities directly into the OS, Microsoft is lowering the barrier for users to benefit from intelligent automation without requiring third-party tools. It's a practical step toward improving user experience, such as streamlining workflows and enhancing productivity. However, attention should be paid to data privacy, user control, and transparency of AI behavior. The implementation policy should be clear and ethical.
• GitHub Copilot coding agent
The introduction of coding agents is a meaningful step in everyday AI assistance. However, it still brings challenges. Some people compare agents with junior developers. They noted that while the agent can handle certain tasks, it often requires supervision and can introduce new issues. This innovation holds both potential and limitations. Balancing automation with human oversight is crucial to ensure quality and reliability.
• Introduction of Natural Language Web
NLWeb is a significant step toward a more natural and intuitive web experience. It can help users access content more easily and reduce reliance on traditional navigation. The open-source foundation provides developers with the flexibility to implement AI-driven interactions without rebuilding their existing platforms. NLWeb is a promising level of web interaction that complements, rather than replaces, well-designed UI.
• Introduction of Model Context Protocol
MCP provides a standardized method for connecting AI models with diverse tools and data sources. This approach simplifies the development of AI-driven applications, enhancing efficiency and scalability. Its open-source nature encourages broader adoption and collaboration within the developer community. Nevertheless, MCP can face challenges in compatibility across vendors and security in context sharing. Clear guidelines are crucial.
• Windows Subsystem for Linux is open-sourced
It's a positive step toward greater transparency and collaboration in the developer ecosystem. The community can now contribute to its evolution, helping identify issues and expand functionality faster. However, open-source software in a core system also introduces concerns around security, code quality management, and long-term maintenance. Microsoft’s continued involvement will be key to ensuring WSL remains stable and secure.
• Azure AI Foundry platform hosts Grok 3 AI models
Adding new models is a valuable expansion of AI development resources available at Azure. This provides developers with more flexibility in choosing language models that suit a range of application sizes and needs. Hosting on Azure makes access and integration easier when using Microsoft infrastructure.

Session | Protecting Your Sensitive Data with Microsoft Purview: Practical Information Protection and DLP Strategies
Presenter | Nikki Chapple (MVP| Principal Cloud Architect CloudWay) & Ryan John Murphy (Microsoft)
Event | IRMS Conference 2025
Format | Birmingham UK
Date | 18-20 May 2025
In this closing keynote session from the IRMS Conference 2025, Nikki Chapple and Ryan John Murphy deliver a compelling and practical guide to data protection, compliance, and information governance using Microsoft Purview. As organizations generate over 2 billion pieces of content daily in Microsoft 365, the need for robust data classification, sensitivity labeling, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) has never been more urgent.
This session addresses the growing challenge of managing unstructured data, with 73% of sensitive content remaining undiscovered and unclassified. Using a mountaineering metaphor, the speakers introduce the “Secure by Default” blueprint—a four-phase maturity model designed to help organizations scale their data security journey with confidence, clarity, and control.
🔐 Key Topics and Microsoft 365 Security Features Covered:
Microsoft Purview Information Protection and DLP
Sensitivity labels, auto-labeling, and adaptive protection
Data discovery, classification, and content labeling
DLP for both labeled and unlabeled content
SharePoint Advanced Management for workspace governance
Microsoft 365 compliance center best practices
Real-world case study: reducing 42 sensitivity labels to 4 parent labels
Empowering users through training, change management, and adoption strategies
🧭 The Secure by Default Path – Microsoft Purview Maturity Model:
Foundational – Apply default sensitivity labels at content creation; train users to manage exceptions; implement DLP for labeled content.
Managed – Focus on crown jewel data; use client-side auto-labeling; apply DLP to unlabeled content; enable adaptive protection.
Optimized – Auto-label historical content; simulate and test policies; use advanced classifiers to identify sensitive data at scale.
Strategic – Conduct operational reviews; identify new labeling scenarios; implement workspace governance using SharePoint Advanced Management.
🎒 Top Takeaways for Information Management Professionals:
Start secure. Stay protected. Expand with purpose.
Simplify your sensitivity label taxonomy for better adoption.
Train your users—they are your first line of defense.
Don’t wait for perfection—start small and iterate fast.
Align your data protection strategy with business goals and regulatory requirements.
