“AI-Ready” is a lie in Microsoft 365

Everyone claims to be AI-ready. Almost nobody is. Behind the label sits a decade of messy permissions, broken information architecture, and content no one should be able to find.

Julie Turner Partner and CTO, Sympraxis Consulting | Microsoft MVP

Thirty years building on the Microsoft platform, and a Microsoft 365 Development MVP since 2017. Co-maintainer of PnPjs and hTWOo, which puts her closer to the code than most people on a governance panel.

Marc Anderson Co-founder and President, Sympraxis Consulting | Microsoft MVP

Four decades helping organizations fix information architecture, governance, and adoption, with a reputation for turning complicated technology into something people will use.

Episode 02 Oct 7 Stay tuned

The permission debt is due

Ten years of “just share it” comes due now that AI can read everything. Oversharing, “restricted” content that isn't, and the cleanup nobody wants to own.

Guest reveal coming soon

Two more Microsoft MVPs are bringing their spiciest takes. Save your seat and be the first to know who's in the hot seat.

Episode 03 Oct 21 Stay tuned

The agents are already in your tenant

AI agents are already running in your tenant, and you didn't deploy most of them. Agent sprawl, shadow AI, and who gets blamed when it goes wrong.

Guest reveal coming soon

Our season finale tackles the hottest topic in M365 right now: AI agents. The panel is still under wraps, and it will be worth the wait.

Your hosts, every episode

Michal and Joy don't just moderate: they're part of the panel.
One of the three takes each episode is theirs.

Michal Pisarek Co-founder and CEO, Orchestry

7-time Microsoft SharePoint MVP. Has never once softened a take to keep a room comfortable.

Joy Apple Director of Partner and Customer Success, Orchestry

Microsoft MVP who talks to admins cleaning up real tenants every week, which makes her hard to sell a tidy theory to.
