In this episode I speak with Megan Strant, Microsoft MVP, Organisational Change Consultant and Neurodiversity advocate and  we discussed what hybrid work looks like, how organisations are handling employee engagement and Megan breaks a myth about learning styles.

Megan is an expert in Microsoft 365 project and organisational change strategy and user experience, with over 10 years experience, so something I really enjoyed was listening to Megan's insights on how organisations that she has been working with are managing the hybrid work models.

Learning and understanding more about hybrid work and being able to keep employees engaged and productive is really important in the current state that many ind themselves in now.

In this episode I speak with Mark Kashman, Senior Product Manager at Microsoft and we discuss a range of topics from Microsoft Lists and how they power the public Microsoft 365 road map, Microsoft Teams being the entry point for many to the Office 365 platform over the past 12-18 months and how SharePoint is now coming back front and centre (it never really went away IMO but hey)

Now Mark is an expert in SharePoint and Microsoft Lists, with a little over a decade of experience, so something I really enjoyed listening to Mark’s insights how he uses Microsoft Lists for managing and tracking important information as well as where he sees the use of Microsoft Teams and SharePoint.

I think learning and understanding more about how Microsoft Lists can be used to manage and track information is really important, because it can help you become more efficient, productive and keep teams up to date.

If you are currently just starting out with Microsoft Lists, or even if you have been using them for some time, a season campaigner if you will then this episode will be perfect for you, as it will give you the insights and knowledge you need to get out there and begin to use Microsoft Lists, SharePoint and Microsoft Teams.

Some of the main topics we will be covering in this episode are:

• How Microsoft Lists is being used with the public Microsoft 365 Roadmap
• What we used to have to call a developer for is now just part of the lists UI
• Microsoft Teams may have been the entry point for many into Office 365, now organisations are realising there is more there
