Microsoft Teams is how we connect with each other at DSM when meetings in real-life are not possible.
Teams offer three types of meetings: Teams Live Events, Teams Webcast and Teams Meetings. Functionalities and services are added by Microsoft continually and we are therefore linking you Microsoft's webpages for the latest guidance.
For Teams Live Events, you may need the support of a trusted external production company. DSM maintains a list of the companies here. Assigned Suppliers | DSM Brand Center.
For many of us, Microsoft Teams has become an essential communications channel. It’s ideal for all kinds of meetings and discussions – whether one-and-one or in groups. And you can easily share content and record sessions. The biggest drawback: have we all had a little too much of Teams?
If this a stand-alone initiative, then go ahead! However, if this is part of a wider initiative, you might want to take a step back and look at the broader communications perspective. A good starting point is our 9-step approach to creating your communication plan - which includes an overview of all the internal channels and tools.
If we want our voice to be heard above the noise it’s essential that our brand identity matches our ambition.
For a glimpse into the future of where business – and our brand – is going, look no further than the DSM Virtual Venue.
