What are you doing on Thursday, 5th June at 12:00 – 12:35 BST?
I’m running a session called “You switched on Microsoft 365 Copilot. Now what?” — it’s all about the quiet shift toward passive, no-prompt usage and how Copilot is helping people work smarter without needing to be AI experts. If prompting has felt like a barrier, you’ll love what’s new and what’s coming. Come along — I’d love to share what we’re seeing!
The session will be live, just 35 minutes long and is free to join. Sign up here.
