As we start the new year many of us have taken to adopting new habits with the intent of being better versions of ourselves. These might be working out more, reading more books, focusing on family time, or spiritual growth. As we look the AI revolution in the eye, the most distinctive quality we’re seeing […]
Read more "Five AI Habits to Build in Your Company"I’m constantly challenging myself to think about what’s next. In a sense it is the only constant in the technology community… that our jobs and lives will continue to be shaped by the powerful opportunity that tech evolution presents. If someone asked, “what do you care about right now?”, I might have a different answer […]

I’ve been part of a LOT of hybrid meetings lately (onsite and Teams). They stink. Here’s how you can make them better… 1. Have a room setup that is optimized for hybrid, such as a Surface Hub, where it naturally works with Teams without a lot of screwing around. I’ve seen a TON of terrible […]
Read more "How to make your hybrid meetings less terrible"I recently wrote about Delayed Send in Outlook. Check out this feature for Delayed Send in Microsoft Teams.

I had booked a hotel in Minnesota for a customer visit and had mistakenly selected the wrong date. This oddly enough happens to me more often than I’d want to admit. In any case… I showed up to the hotel, asked to check in, […]
Read more "How Orbitz Implemented an Excellent Chatbot Experience (and why you should too)"I’m excited about Loop Components and the future of collaboration… but, Microsoft has a ways to go with making these integrated.
