Put It to Work

From writing to working: Excel analysis without formula anxiety, decks built from documents in PowerPoint, and Copilot used bank-safe — then wrapping up by measuring how far you've come.

Wednesday 22 July 2026 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM CODED, Kuwait

Day brief

Day 1 made Copilot familiar; Day 2 makes it yours. The morning tackles the two places Copilot pays for itself fastest — Excel, where it analyses your tables and writes formulas you can actually check, and PowerPoint, where a document becomes a deck — then the rules that keep it bank-safe: the data boundary, what may never go in a prompt, and who stays accountable. After lunch you wrap up: retake the skills-map assessment so you and Burgan can see how far the room has moved since Day 1, then a short feedback survey to shape the next workshop.
