Direct effects for Operations**

- Direct Impact on IT Operations
- Increased administrative workload for IT administrators
- Admins must ensure the 'get recording and transcription consent' policy is enabled across all user groups.
- Potential need for additional training or resources to assist users in understanding the new consent process.
- Risk of meeting disruptions
- Meetings may be delayed or interrupted if participants do not consent to transcription, affecting overall productivity.
- IT support may receive increased requests for assistance during meetings due to confusion over consent requirements.

- Direct Impact on IT Services
- Changes in meeting functionality
- Users who do not consent to transcription will be unable to unmute, turn on their camera, or share content, limiting their participation.
- This may lead to a decrease in engagement and collaboration during meetings, impacting service delivery.
- Dependency on Microsoft Teams infrastructure
- Any issues with Microsoft Teams during the rollout could lead to widespread disruptions in communication and collaboration services.
- IT services that rely on Teams for integration (e.g., project management tools) may also be affected.

- Direct Impact on IT Users
- User experience changes
- Users will need to adapt to the new consent process, which may lead to frustration or confusion, especially for those unfamiliar with the policy.
- Potential for decreased morale if users feel their participation is restricted or monitored.
- Training and support requirements
- Users may require additional training to understand the implications of the new consent policy, leading to increased demand for IT support.
- Roles most impacted include team leaders and project managers who rely heavily on meetings for collaboration and decision-making.
