Abstract: A system and method for validating user profile data from a directory application is described. The system accesses user collaboration data of a plurality of users of an application. The system also accesses a directory application that manages user profile data for each user of the plurality of users. A set of heuristics is applied on the user profile data. The system validates results of the applied set of heuristics on the user profile data with the user collaboration data. The quality of the user profile data is assessed based on the validation.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes improving collaboration between users in a user network based on collaboration strength and collaboration diversity. Collaboration data associated with collaboration activity between a user network is collected. Based on the collaboration data, collaboration ties of the user accounts are identified, wherein each collaboration tie is associated with a source user account and a target user account. For each collaboration tie, a tie strength score and a tie diversity score are determined based on the collaboration data. Each collaboration tie is then classified as a strong tie or a weak tie based on a tie strength threshold and as a diverse tie or a nondiverse tie based on a tie diversity threshold. Based on analysis of the classifications of the collaboration ties, a recommended action is generated and provided via a collaboration interface, whereby the collaboration interface enables collaboration of the user network to be improved.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring an application is described. The system identifies user collaboration data of users of an application. The user collaboration data indicates durations of collaborations between one or more users using the application. The system computes an influencer score of a first user based on the duration of collaborations between the first user and the other users. The system determines that the influencer score of the first user exceeds an influencer score threshold and generates a configuration setting of the application for the first user. The system applies the configuration setting to the application for the first user.

Abstract: A method may include retrieving metric data on a plurality of groups of users, the metric data including: a value of a performance metric for each of the plurality of groups; and an indication that a first group of the plurality of groups is anomalous with respect to a value of the performance metric of a control group of the plurality of groups; and presenting a user interface, the user interface including: a first portion including a visualization of a comparison of the value of the performance metric for the first group and values of the performance metric of other groups in the plurality of groups; and a second portion including a visualization of trend data of the performance metric for the first group over a period of time.

Abstract: A method may include accessing a plurality of data items, each data item in the plurality of data items having a plurality of stored dimensions; selecting a subset of the data items based on a shared value of a first dimension of plurality of dimensions; identifying an outcome metric for the first group; determining a control group for comparison with the first group with respect to the outcome metric, wherein data items in the control group are determined based on dimensions that influence the first dimension and the outcome metric; determining that the outcome metric of the first group is anomalous with respect to the outcome metric of the control group; and presenting a notification to a computing device indicating the anomaly.

Abstract: A behavior change management service to create and deploy a behavior change management program. The behavior change management service processes productivity service data associated with users of a productivity service application to identify individuals a similar collaboration issue. The behavior change management service further creates a behavior change management program based on the identified collaboration issue; deploys the behavior change management program to the identified individuals; and monitors, tracks, and reports each individual's progress during the behavior change management program.
