Building your AI adoption strategy in Microsoft 365
Shari Oswald | Microsoft MVP, PowerUP! Learning
Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a futuristic concept—it’s here, and it’s built into the tools your organization already uses. But deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot is more than a technical rollout; it’s a cultural shift.
In this strategic session, you’ll learn how to lay the groundwork for Copilot adoption using proven change management principles. We’ll guide you through building a tailored rollout plan using Microsoft Planner, tracking engagement and usage with Power BI, and designing a learning journey that meets employees where they are.
You’ll discover how to:
- Establish a people-first Copilot strategy that inspires trust and experimentation.
- Mobilize champions and executives to lead by example.
- Build and personalize learning journeys with content that drives real behavior change.
- Track adoption success and adjust based on data-driven insights.
Whether you’re planning your pilot or scaling organization-wide, walk away with a repeatable strategy to support users and spark a culture of continuous innovation.
Apps, Copilot, and Agents: The State of AI in Power Platform
April Dunnam | Principal Cloud Advocate (Power Platform) at Microsoft
Power Platform development isn’t just about forms and workflows anymore. AI is now part of the build and user experience itself.
This session explores how Copilot Studio agents, Microsoft 365 Copilot in Power Apps, embedded AI capabilities, and new AI‑assisted build patterns are reshaping how solutions are designed and delivered.
We’ll cover:
- The role of agents
- How Copilot enhances both makers and end users inside apps
- The range of build styles: natural language, low‑code, and pro‑code
- How teams can choose the right approach without over‑engineering
No hype. Just a practical look at how AI fits into real Power Platform projects today.
