AI BS...or as Microsoft call it, AI Business Solutions. This is the world of agentic transformation, of increasing productivity and reducing SLAs through AI enhancement, of making a difference both to company bottom lines and to how people feel about work. Well...it should be.

AI BS is also about the world of AI slop, of over promises, of over inflated expectations, of believing that more can be done with less just by flicking on a switch. Over excitable marketing and sales teams along with large language models designed to please have lead to the belief that Agentic AI can do more than it can right now. So what should you do about it?

This session will help you to understand how to make a difference with AI in the right areas and to build a strategy that can help your organisation do it too. From my experience of the pre-release of M365 Copilot through to delivering Agent 365, I will focus on the ways to deliver success through:

- identifying realistic processes and goals

- embedding AI and agentic solutions into your deliveries

- ways to measure value and success

- understanding when to say no to AI

- celebrating the power of agents with the right level of realism

This session will focus on the strategies needed with tools such as Agent Builder, Copilot Studio, M365 Copilot, Microsoft Foundry and Agent 365 used as examples but will not be a technical session.
