Thoughts from the Collab365 Team:

Question: Do You Want to Accelerate Productivity In Your Organisation?

And have you heard of Power Automate or Microsoft 365?

In this 3 hour workshop, Jon introduces you to just how powerful Power Automate can be as a brain AND a workhorse behind improvements to processes in your business. 

You'll experience a flavour of Collab365's tried and tested B.L.U.E (build it, learn it, use it, enhance it) model to get the most from the 3-hour workshop. We believe that instead of just watching for 3 hours, encouraging you to jump onto your Microsoft 365 tenant (with your admin approval) and build some great starter flows will give you a much richer learning experience. 

The pace is quick however (there's a lot to cram in) so to help you, you'll receive the full pack of videos, along with PDF step-by-step guides to help you. You will also gain access to a dedicated Academy space where you can ask questions and get support any time.  There's lots of material to help you practice these flows in your own time.  

Before you begin, you'll get a full, in-depth tour of how the main aspects of Power Automate work, how to set them up and use them, and also some hidden tips and tricks you may not know about. 

You'll then go on to start working with examples of  :

  • How to Improve Onboarding for new team members
  • How to set up and use Approval workflows 
  • What to do to improve team collaboration and communication using Power Automate
  • And more ....

This workshop is for the beginner.

You'll learn some new terms that you may not have known about before but your Coach will take time to explain and answer any questions you might have.  

You'll also get the chance to follow along yourself and build the example flows. Our aim is to help you leave with a new confidence to go explore the options Power Automate can offer.
