Some relevant notes/links shared by the team:

• Still your best bet for adoption help: Microsoft’s adoption best practices and resources [https://adoption.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/]
• As Jonathan mentions in the video, you should replace paper processes with SharePoint lists and Power Automate Flows and Approvals, including Teams Approvals. The more you can automate, the more people will rely on SharePoint and usage will increase.
• Shari is always quick to point people toward the comprehensive Microsoft 365 Training site, which you should also bookmark [https://Office.com/Training]
