Continuity
Which activity must keep working? What depends on it, what is the fallback and who can authorise that choice?
Microsoft 365 transformation, migration & adoption
The platform is changing.
The business must keep working.
I help IT and digital leaders connect Microsoft 365 migration and platform change with business continuity, ownership, adoption and support. My contribution brings product and platform leadership together with the specialists delivering the change.
Read at your pace. A conversation is optional.
Walk through an ordinary day after the change
Ask a business owner and representative users to describe one real task after go-live. Use these four lenses to find decisions the cutover checklist may not answer.
Ownership
Who owns the service, its content and unresolved decisions once the project team moves on?
Adoption
Can people complete the task in their actual working context? Include roles and locations that differ from the project team.
Support
Where does someone go if the task breaks down? Does the receiving team have the context and responsibility to help?
Experience behind the contribution
At the LEGO Group, my product and platform responsibilities included a Microsoft 365 transformation involving more than 17,000 active users, 15,000 sites and over 200 related solutions. The example below describes my professional experience, rather than a client engagement delivered by DueBau.
Modernising a platform the business relied on
- Situation
- An established digital workplace needed to move to Microsoft 365. The work involved 17,000+ active users, 15,000 sites and more than 200 related solutions, while the organisation still depended on those services.
- My responsibility and contribution
- I led product and platform responsibilities for the transformation, owning backlog and resource priorities across five teams with around 45 people. I connected technical dependencies, business priorities and delivery capacity, alongside communication, training and user enablement.
- What changed
- The migration moved the workplace to Microsoft 365 while protecting business continuity. Work across the related solutions reduced fragmentation and created a more coherent platform foundation.
- What I bring to your situation
- A migration decision commits the organisation to changes in ownership, working practices and support as well as technology. Those commitments need to be understood before delivery starts.
How I would approach the assignment
Make the transition visible
I work with business owners and specialists to connect critical activities, solution dependencies, delivery capacity and the intended way of working after the change.
Resolve readiness decisions
We agree priorities, accountable owners and the evidence needed for a decision. I connect technical delivery with communication, user enablement, feedback and support preparation.
Establish continuing ownership
We make the receiving responsibilities and remaining risks explicit, review how the new service works in practice and agree what needs attention after handover.
What you can engage me for
A migration readiness review
A focused review of business continuity, dependencies, adoption and support. Outputs can include an ownership map, open decisions and prioritised readiness actions.
Product and platform leadership through change
An agreed leadership responsibility for priorities, coordination and business decisions alongside your engineering, security and delivery specialists.
Adoption and ownership support
Help connecting real work situations with user enablement, service ownership and practical handover. Scope and responsibilities are agreed around your situation.
Explore your migration or rollout
Tell me what is changing and your timeframe. We can explore the readiness questions, where my contribution would help and whether a next step makes sense.
An exploration, at your pace.
You decide what to share and whether to continue. A no, a pause or stopping here are all welcome outcomes. Any follow-up is by agreement.
Email me about a possible fitPaid work starts only after we agree the scope and terms. If we work together, review points and arrangements for ending and handing over the engagement are agreed from the start.
