Great video, very insightful and well communicated! I am 53 years old working for a large corporate who have made many M365 apps available to the us, but the line management have not leveraged these apps for productivity or innovation. I am love adopting these apps in my work, I am involved in Quality Management but find myself more interested in M365. How do I start to get more involved in this field more seriously and full-time??
