Put It to Work

From writing to working: Excel analysis without formula anxiety, answers grounded in your own files, and the full chain — meeting to actions to email to deck — run end to end on a workflow you'll keep.

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 Copilot Chat, where it answers from your own files, mail and meetings instead of the open internet. After lunch we chain it all together — one meeting becomes a recap, an action table, a follow-up email and a status deck — and then you do the same to a task you actually own. You leave with a working workflow, not just notes.
