✅ Highlights     

• “We call it a M365 Copilot readiness assessment, where we go and look at your data.” 
• “Zero Trust is a great one. It spikes up every sort of year.” 
• “Data labelling is really key. Keep it simple so users don’t overthink.” 
• “Copilot is so powerful at finding information that’s been lost somewhere.” 
• “Mandatory labelling: before you can hit save, you have to enforce it there.” 
• “Meeting recordings and Teams notes - Copilot can summarise, give action items, and minutes.” 
• “The value of having this licence is we’ve saved 2 man hours of this consultant.” 
• “Security Copilot is really good at certain use cases. Some predefined ones work exactly as they say on the tin.” 
• “Continuous professional development - can’t just rely on what you knew last month or last year.” 
• “The best person in the team isn’t the person who’s got the most information. It’s the person who’s best at sharing.” 
• “Microsoft’s changing those things, they’re now disabling basic authentication, great.” 
• “It’s constantly changing and there’s a bit of that sort of almost gamification of it.”
