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
  • Microsoft Purview for data governance is designed to help organizations discover, understand, and manage their data assets across the organization. Microsoft Purview aims to provide a unified way to discover and govern data across on-premises, multi-cloud, and SaaS (Software as a Service) environments.
  • Powell 365 is a digital workplace platform that provides a set of tools and features to enhance collaboration, communication, and productivity by creating an intranet and digital workplace solution that integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 services.
  • Rencore Governance with its range of features and customization options to define and enforce governance rules for risk management, resource optimization, data protection and cost reduction.
  • Solutions2Share’s Teams Manager offers Approval Workflow, Lifecycle, Naming Conventions, Metadata and Teams Templates for the management and provisioning of Microsoft Teams within your Microsoft 365 environment.
  • ProvisionPoint 365 is a governance and provisioning solution supporting Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Sites, Office 365 Groups, Planner Plans, Yammer Communities, and more.



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.
