Overview
This 90-minute session is a practical, tool-by-tool walkthrough of Microsoft 365’s core collaboration apps. You’ll learn the purpose of each tool-Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, Outlook, and Planner—and how they fit into your daily workflow. Whether you're working remotely, managing shared files, or coordinating with colleagues across departments, this session will help you use the right tool for the right task. By the end, you’ll be better equipped to collaborate efficiently and reduce digital clutter.
Why you should Attend
Too many tools, too little clarity? You’re not alone. Many professionals jump between Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Outlook-without knowing when or why. This leads to missed messages, lost files, and frustrated colleagues. If you've ever wondered “What’s the difference between OneDrive and SharePoint?” or “Why are we using both Teams and email?”, this session will give you the answers. It’s the clarity you need to stop guessing and start collaborating with purpose.
