Most working people and organisations use Microsoft 365 in one shape or another every day, but are you using applications like Outlook, Excel, Word and Teams effectively? Research shows that most people are only using 20% of the functionality in Microsoft 365. However, developing a better understanding of how to use these applications more productively is relatively easy and can deliver huge rewards in time savings, quality of work and organisational development.
People and organisations usually find the need to raise skills and refine best practices with Microsoft 365 are driven by consistently recurring challenges they face: insufficient understanding of Microsoft 365 tools; low productivity due to outdated manual processes; difficulty in real-time collaboration among teams; and higher than necessary operational costs due to inefficient digital processes.
While it may seem daunting, learning new processes that transform your abilities with Microsoft 365 is more straightforward than you may think. As leaders and owners of organisations you can have up-to-date critical data at your fingertips. If you are an IT manager you can keep data secure whilst giving people access to the insights they need. In your role as a finance professional it is possible to get from data to insight to action, allowing you to identify efficiencies, remove legacy systems and eliminate bottlenecks. Performing as an HR leader, you can access upskilling or reskilling for your staff to meet changing technology needs and digital skills shortages. Now, with the advent of Co-Pilot, anyone can also bring the advantages of AI driven innovation to the use of Microsoft 365 applications.
In the high speed digital world we all now work in, being able to access business files from any location and on any device is more important than ever. Doing it securely is crucial. Whether working in an office, remotely or constantly moving around, having smooth access to files and communications can be achieved with OneDrive and SharePoint. That is no longer just for digital wizards, it's available for everyone in their everyday work.
This training half-day will discuss, demonstrate and explain what you need to know and do to take greater ownership of the capacity of Microsoft 365. Whether an individual or an organisation you have the opportunity to work faster, smarter, easier and better. The training will be delivered in three broad themes:
