Overview

As an information specialist, you have no shortage of new programs pitched as “the solution”, especially amid all the recent noise around AI. But are you making the most of the existing tools in your toolbox? This session focuses on practical, accessible ways you can leverage Microsoft programs you’re already using.

We’ll discuss three key components of successful content management: Track, Find, and Enforce – and how Microsoft 365 tools play a role. 

You’ll see how:
  • Loop and OneNote help you track
  • Lists helps you find
  • SharePoint and Teams help you enforce content management in your daily workflows

Whether or not you have access to cutting-edge technologies, you can improve your program to benefit yourself and your colleagues who follow your lead.
