About this event
Ryan Wilson, Co-Director, Pack of 7, will talk about 3 topics that are extremely important for any organisation that wants to exploit the potential of their Microsoft 365 environment.
1. The Maturity Model for Microsoft 365
In this first part of the presentation Ryan shows why the Maturity Model for Microsoft 365 is such a valuable tool for any organization. He will explain how it provides a structured framework for assessing, optimizing, and continuously improving the use of Microsoft 365, ultimately contributing to your organization's success.
2. Microsoft Power Automate to automate your business processes
Microsoft Power Automate is a versatile and valuable tool for organizations looking to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and enhance productivity through process automation and integration. Ryan will explain the basic concepts of the tool. As an example that can be applied to any other business process, he will then show the automation of one particular business process.
3. Tools to enhance the Maturity & Governance of Microsoft 365
Following Ryan’s presentation, Eleanor Crosby, Industry Workforce Advisor, ACS will discuss “What is workforce planning and why is it important? Do you have a plan? If not why not?"
The Industry Workforce Advisor program is funded by the Queensland Government as part of the 'Good people. Good jobs: Queensland Workforce Strategy 2022–2032' and are available across varying industries. Industry Workforce Advisors (like me) are available to be there with you and help you undertake the workforce planning journey. Eleanor has been self employed so understands the challenges and pain points that businesses face with a strong business and finance background spanning 20 years. Simply put, Eleanor comes with a lot of business background and is more than happy to share and work with you going forward on your workforce planning journey.
This event is proudly presented with our 2024 Regional Roadshow partner, Pack of 7.
