From Chaos to CoPilot Ready: A Practical Path To Organizing Microsoft 365 Content

Microsoft Copilot is only as powerful as the content it can access. For many organizations, that content lives in a mix of poorly organized SharePoint sites, Teams channels, and OneDrive folders.

This session focuses on a pragmatic, incremental approach to getting your Microsoft 365 content ready for Copilot—without requiring a full-scale information architecture overhaul.

We’ll cover:
* How Copilot actually finds and uses your content (and why structure matters)
* Common anti-patterns in SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive that reduce Copilot effectiveness
* Practical strategies to improve organization, including simplifying Site and Team structures, moving from folders to metadata (where it makes sense), and cleaning up permissions and access sprawl
* Identifying “good enough” governance vs. over-engineering
* Quick wins you can implement immediately

You’ll leave with a realistic roadmap to improve findability, usability, and Copilot outcomes—starting from where your organization is today.

A Crawl-Walk-Run Approach to Document Management

Document Management is not a topic that most people find fun, exciting, or entertaining. However, anyone charged with the organization, maintenance, and management of corporate information knows this is one of the biggest challenges we face--dealing with an ever-growing mountain of recorded knowledge and intellectual property.

Ultimately, all we really need to do is provide an intuitive, user-focused set of tools to facilitate the creation, storage, publication, security, retrieval, retention, and disposition of our company's most critical digital assets. No problem, right?

This session will focus on providing practical guidance, both non-technical and technical, to assist in developing a multigenerational battle plan to implement Document Management in your organization.

Pro Dev Practices in a Citizen Dev World: Leveling Up Your Power Platform Game

Are you a Power BI, Power Apps, or Power Automate enthusiast who’s built something amazing—only to have it break, disappear, or become impossible to maintain? You’re not alone! In this session, we’ll explore how everyday builders (a.k.a. citizen developers) can leverage a few tricks from the pros to make their Power Platform solutions more reliable, scalable, and future-proof.

We'll demystify common pro-dev tools, patterns, and practices such as version control, code repositories, and work management, discuss why they're critical to long-term success, and talk through a crawl-walk-run process to implement these for your team and organization.

No previous knowledge of semicolons or curly braces required... just curiosity, creativity, and a desire to build in a sustainable way!
