I’m a SharePoint server MVP Viking-Warrior since January 2014 and am a co-founder and managing partner of Peaches Industries Corporation. After having studied IT in Zurich Switzerland, I started to work as Notes Developer and Application Manager for Swisscom Ltd. in Zurich. After having worked there for several years I changed to a smaller Company named Interact Consulting AG creating complex OCR and Scanning solutions for many organizations in the central European region. In spring 2008 I decided to found a company together with my friend and business partner Christoph Müller, with whom together we run the Portal Company Peaches Industries GmbH. My speciality are SharePoint End-User productivity, Change-, Project management and Training.
Since four years, I’m is focusing my work and passion on solving the User adoption problem of SharePoint and Office 365 tools. Stumbling over the same problems in all customer engagements I have worked so far, I started to think about a possible solution how to overcome the challenge of old habits and ways of working and learning.
Over two years ago Chris Müller nudged me into the direction of Gamification and there I found a possible solution for this problem. Gamification is focusing the design of tools and application back to its most important part, to the End-User. Through the use of elements and mechanics of games, Gamification enables a paradigm shift from process focused design towards human focused design and can make work more fun and meaningful.
With Gamification I found “my topic”. Nowadays focusing heavily on this topic on the cognitive level, we from Peaches are also working on our own Gamification solution called Gravity, which also became a finalist in the European SharePoint Community Awards in the category best social strategy. Stay tuned for more to come during autumn!

Turbo boost your SharePoint adoption with “Gravity – The Engagement Framework” by Jussi Mori
Everything we do in the Internet leaves a trace and has memories. Until now, we do not concentrate very much on how we interact with people and content in the Intranet. But every single Engagement has value and is important everyone looking for Information in the future.
Memories of content is not very visible today, plus it’s forgotten by the end user often, but it plays a significant role in the content lifecycle and for the search engine. Nowadays we have managed to connect people together we are very good in creating horizontal relationships. They might create some sort of value for us beyond the fact that having 10000 followers on Twitter just feels good. But where is the real beef? What’s the next step beyond the social layer?

Uncovering the ROI of SharePoint by Christian Buckley
The problem of finding ROI is more fundamental than just SharePoint — it is a recognized deficiency in many IT projects: projects often move forward without a clear understanding of what is to be delivered, without a clear picture of that “end state” of the project. Many organizations see the inherent value, but have trouble articulating this value to management and executive sponsors, which is a serious problem — and this can impact the long-term success of a project.

Topic to highlight
The future of work is not the Intranet
Future Intranets are the glue that holds together all the cloud apps employees bring in to help them do their jobs. The future Intranet needs to be both a layer across that helps people find the resources they need to do their jobs and a place to find and share information directly within the right context.
Today Intranets are about social, content and the activity stream. Content means many things in this context, including both official and work based information. Also lots of links to resources located elsewhere. The corporate homepage is evolving as well, becoming a place where you find important company updates, relevant resources and also relevant information on work you are doing.
With this I wish lots of fun and success to all SharePoint heroes out there! Keep on digging and come visit us at Peachesindustries.com and please follow us on Facebook or Twitter (@peachesgmbh).
May the SharePoint-Force be with you!
Kind regards, Jussi
