A sentence that sounds confident... until you look closer. I hear this sentence everywhere. “Adoption is going well.” It’s usually said calmly, sometimes almost casually, as if it’s a settled fact. A conclusion we’ve already agreed on. And most of the time, it ends the conversation before it really starts. That’s what makes it interesting. … Meer lezen over “Adoption is going well.”

Most conversations stay focused on what is technically possible and how fast everything is moving. But when you zoom out, something else becomes visible. Something more fundamental. Not only technology is changing, but … Meer lezen over This is not an AI revolution. It is a shift in human agency
The Let Them Theory
Some books you read. Others read you. The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins belongs firmly in the second category for me. Not because the concept is complex, but because it is deceptively simple. And simplicity, when it hits the right nerve, has a way of exposing behavior you no longer want to ignore. I … Meer lezen over The Let Them Theory
PowerPoint is not dead. Unclear thinking is.
PowerPoint has been declared dead more times than I can count. Not because the tool stopped working, but because the way we used it stopped making sense.

That is exactly why Copilot … Meer lezen over PowerPoint is not dead. Unclear thinking is.
Why most people don’t do this… and why it changes everything
Most people open Copilot, ask a question, and hope for clarity. And every day I see the same pattern: “Copilot is helpful, but it doesn’t fully think like me yet.” The truth is simple. Most people never tell Copilot how they want it to think, support them or structure information. They don’t define their tone, their decision … Meer lezen over Why most people don’t do this… and why it changes everything

The moment it enters an organisation, Microsoft 365 stops feeling like a collection of apps and starts behaving like a single intelligent system. It understands context, relationships and intent.

My Youtube dilemma
“Femke, we’ve been watching your YouTube videos at the office!” I heard it again today.. said with a smile and genuine enthusiasm. And honestly? That means a lot. But there’s always this small voice in the back of my mind: Who’s really watching? And is all the effort, planning, and editing worth it? The trap of … Meer lezen over My Youtube dilemma
