CollabTalk Podcast | Episode 133 with Norm Young

 

For Episode 133 of the CollabTalk Podcast, we highlighted the cautious approach many organizations are taking towards adopting Microsoft Copilot, balancing pilot programs with concerns about value realization and compliance. We then explored the latest insights from the 2024 Work Trend Index, emphasizing the increasing demand for AI integration in the workplace and its potential impact on redefining job roles and enhancing productivity. We also underscored the need for real-world data and careful implementation strategies to maximize the benefits of AI and Copilot in professional settings.
