Microsoft Viva Goals vs Microsoft Viva Goals + AI Agent: Key Differences
Integrating AI agents with Microsoft Viva Goals via Runbear transforms manual, time-consuming goal management into seamless, AI-powered automation within your team's existing chat tools. Traditional Viva Goals usage keeps teams aligned, but adding Runbear’s AI agent means instant access, proactive updates, natural language queries, and effortless analytics—right where team conversations already happen. This shift unlocks new collaboration efficiencies and data-driven decision-making.
Implementation Considerations
Teams adopting Microsoft Viva Goals must plan for change management—new habits around goal-setting, regular check-ins, and consistent usage across the organization. Setup can be complex, with permissions and integrations to configure, and ongoing training is key to driving engagement. Data governance and security practices must be reviewed, particularly as sensitive performance metrics are centralized. Without workflow automation, teams may face friction retrieving the latest updates or fostering continual collaboration—issues Runbear addresses by bringing smart AI agents into Slack or Teams. When implementing, ensure your org is ready to evolve habits, dedicate champions for initial training, and review security permissions needed for AI agents accessing goal data. The payoff: less manual status reporting, higher transparency, and smarter, faster decision-making.
