How do I see the information?

Quickly see a person’s manager chain, direct/indirect reports, and peers, so you can understand decision-making paths. - Great collaboration insights
The ‘Works with’ function means you can see people who are most relevant to someone, so you can, for example, identify additional relevant stakeholders before workshops. - Find people faster and see their profiles
Find colleagues by name or alias and see their profile card. - It’s right there, where you already work
Find it in Outlook and Teams, and across other Microsoft 365 applications.
Improving the visibility of line manager details will help ensure that the information shared remains accurate information and widely available.
What if the information looks wrong?
