Microsoft 365 user adoption: from knowing to doing
Haarlem, The Netherlands
Actions
I believe that the right use of technology can create equal opportunities for all in our society. That said, there still is a digital dexterity gap. It is my mission, to support organisations, teams and individuals in closing this gap so all can prosper. With more than 10 years experience in the user adoption area I have worked for leading organisations in public transport, financial services industry, manufacturing and the public sector.
As one of the first female Microsoft user adoption experts in The Netherlands I am frequently asked to speak at seminars or advise organisations on how to close this gap. Besides this I am the co-host of the Hybrid Work Podcast which was nominated for the Best Podcast 2022 Award, Category Business.
Topics I speak about:
>> How to make user adoption stupidly simple
>> IT no longer belongs to IT
>> Hybrid work is all about people
>> How mental health and well-being fit in a hybrid world
>> How to get more women into IT by focusing on the soft side of IT
I am the founder of Workspace Heroes, which is specialised in simplifying scalable IT user adoption and change management. Workspace Heroes is recognised as one of the few Microsoft Solution Designation Partners for Modern Work.

Can AI help us fix AI adoption?ennl
AI’s enormous potential is of no use if we don't get employees on board with it. The possibilities may be great and developments follow up on each other at lightning speed and it will still take forever before we have really changed everyone's lives with AI. We can build great technologies, but without users, the impact is zero.
In this session, we will not only discuss the roadmap for AI adoption, but we will take action. Together we brainstorm and outline an innovative idea: Why not use AI to accelerate the adoption of AI itself? This is your chance to actively think along and discover how we can use AI to accelerate the adoption of AI.
Why now?
AI adoption is one of the biggest challenges in the industry. No matter how fast technological progress goes, implementation often lags behind. Businesses need not only powerful AI tools, but most importantly, practical strategies to get AI widely accepted and adopted. That is exactly what we focus on in this session.
Why this session?
Don't expect a traditional presentation. In this session, we will work together to achieve concrete, useful results. We brainstorm, sketch concepts and come to valuable insights. Participants will leave the session not only with a clear overview of the most important lessons, but also with a jointly developed concept on how AI can be used to accelerate the adoption of AI. Inspiring? Sure. But more importantly, you will go home with ideas that are directly applicable to your AI projects.
