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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
identifying user collaboration data of a plurality of users of an application, the user collaboration data indicating durations of collaborations between one or more users of the plurality of users using the application;
computing an influencer score of a first user of the plurality of users based on the duration of collaborations between the first user and the one or more users of the plurality of users;
determining that the influencer score of the first user exceeds an influencer score threshold;
identifying a cohort of the first user based on similar organizational attributes and behavioral characteristics from operation metadata of the application of the first user;
identifying a promoted operation feature of the application, the promoted operation feature indicating a promoted use of a new feature of the application;
communicating the promoted operation feature to the application of the cohort;
measuring a rate of adoption of the promoted operation feature by the cohort by measuring how often each user of the cohort operate the promoted operation feature in the application;
generating a configuration setting of the promoted operation feature of the application for the cohort based on the rate of adoption;
applying the configuration setting of the promoted operation feature to the application of the cohort;
measuring a rate of adoption of the promoted operation feature by other users interacting with one or more users of the cohort based on updated user collaboration data and application usage data; and
rendering a graphical user interface indicating the rate of adoption by the other users.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein computing the influencer score of the first user further comprises:
determining that the first user interacted, via the application, with a second user of the plurality of users based on the user collaboration data;
identifying an individual duration of collaboration of the first user with the second user based on the interaction;
identifying a total duration of collaboration of the first user with the plurality of users;
computing a relative duration of collaboration of the first user with the second user based on a ratio of the individual duration of collaboration of the first user with the second user and the total duration of collaboration of the first user with the plurality of users; and
rendering a graphical user interface that indicates the relative duration of collaboration of the first user,
wherein the influencer score of the second user is based on the relative duration of collaboration of the first user with the second user.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising:
identifying a type of interaction between the first user and the second user based on the user collaboration data;
assigning a weight based on the type of interaction; and
applying the weight to the individual duration of collaboration of the first user with the second user.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising:
assigning first different weights for different types of interactions; and
within each type of interaction, assigning second different weights for each instance of a type of interaction.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising:
accessing a first user profile of the first user and a second user profile of the second user;
assigning a weight based on the first user profile and the second user profile; and
applying the weight to the individual duration of collaboration of the first user with the second user.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the user collaboration data further indicate user profiles of the plurality of users and different types of collaborations between the one or more users of the plurality of users,
wherein the configuration setting further comprises at least one of a preset reminder setting, a preset targeted email setting, a custom content setting, or a feature setting of the application for the first user,
wherein communicating the promoted operation feature to the application of the cohort comprises generating a graphical user interface that identifies the promoted operation feature, the graphical user interface comprising a one-click interface element that, when selected by the first user, is configured to generate and send an email populated with the promoted operation feature and pre-addressed to preselected users.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
computing an influencer score for each user of the plurality of users based on the user interaction data;
identifying a first group of users based on the influencer score of each user of the first group of users exceeding the influencer score threshold;
generating a first group configuration setting of the application for the first group of users; and
applying the first group configuration setting to the application for the first group of users.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising:
accessing user profile data from a directory application that manages the user profile data for each user of the plurality of users, the user profile data identifying a leadership hierarchy level for each user within an enterprise;
identifying leaders among the first group of users based on the user profile data of each user in the first group of users, a leader being in a top percentage of the leadership hierarchy level;
computing a centrality score of an enterprise associated with the application, the centrality score being based on a ratio of the number of leaders and the number of users in the first group of users; and
rendering a graphical user interface indicating the centrality score of the enterprise.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving adoption content;
communicating the adoption content to a user of the plurality of users;
wherein the adoption content comprises at least one of targeted emails, chat nudges, email nudges, or custom learning content.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising:
identifying an enabling user from the other users based on the rate of adoption of the enabling user exceeding an adoption threshold;
identifying a resisting user from the other users based on the rate of adoption of the resisting user being less than the adoption threshold;
generating a first configuration setting for the enabling user;
generating a second configuration setting for the resisting user;
applying the first configuration setting to the application associated with the enabling user; and
applying the second configuration setting to the application associated with the resisting user.

11. A computing apparatus, the computing apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the apparatus to:
identify user collaboration data of a plurality of users of an application, the user collaboration data indicating durations of collaborations between one or more users of the plurality of users using the application;
compute an influencer score of a first user of the plurality of users based on the duration of collaborations between the first user and the one or more users of the plurality of users;
identify a cohort of the first user based on similar organizational attributes and behavioral characteristics from operation metadata of the application of the first user;
identify a promoted operation feature of the application, the promoted operation feature indicating a promoted use of a new featu
