In today’s tight job market and highly collaborative world, organizations must look for every alternative to help their employees work smarter: we must increase capacity and help our teams (and ourselves!) work smarter so they are not bored or overburdened and they maximize personal productivity. But regardless of what size or type organization you’re in: did you know you are likely paying for software that can solve some of your most pressing business issues — communication, collaboration, accountability, organization, and prioritization? Did you know everything you do in email today for internal communication and collaboration should be done in new apps within the Microsoft 365 suite instead?
The Performance Excellence Network — in partnership with the Wisconsin Center for Performance Excellence and the Iowa Quality Center and in collaboration with the Greater Rochester Quality Council — is pleased to host an online webinar discussion on Thursday, August 22: “Solving Your Communication, Collaboration, and Accountability Challenges by Leveraging Microsoft 365.”
Most companies run on Microsoft but do not understand what it can do for them. In this discussion, Jan Lehman of CTC Productivity (and Amazon best-selling author of Work Smart Do More) — along with two of her clients, Joyce Stupnik, President of BDH and Angela Bellanti, Director of Marketing at The Silbernagel Group — will explore some of the untapped power of Microsoft 365. This will be a strategic discussion for leaders about leveraging one of their most expensive assets to solve some of their most pressing capacity issues — back-to-back meetings and overflowing inboxes! The speakers will provide a high-level overview of the new suite of tools, and then leaders from two different companies will share their experiences about what they have done and the benefits it has provided their organizations. They will also touch on why companies should be aware of Microsoft’s AI tool, Copilot, and how it is a better alternative for companies looking to leverage their data and keep their AI results confidential.
This session is Thursday, August 22 from 8:00-9:00 CT (optional speed networking and mingling 7:45-8:00), using Zoom MEETING. Grab your coffee and breakfast, and join us for a rich discussion. Free for PEN/WCPE/IQC members; $20 for non-members.
