Power Platform for Good! With Melissa Hale

Venue Update
We’re excited to let you know that this event will be taking place at a new venue.

Description
This talk gives the attendees insights into how someone like me, with a scientific non-technical background ended up as a developer for a consulting company and a volunteer for a charity – “Collaboration for Kids”.

What : Expect to learn how I used Power Platform to transform this charity’s digital space in a meaningful way, and how you can collaborate with your local charities of NGOs with something you already know! I will show you how I created a useful intranet and some process automations, with a strong focus on promoting healthier choices for children and adults. All powered by Microsoft Technology – Business Applications and Modern Workplace.

Why: Non-profit organisations are facing increasing pressure to optimise their operations and invest most of their time in supporting the cause. By leveraging technology, this goal can be more easily achieved, addressing challenges in communication, manual workloads, and other areas. If you want to learn how to go above and beyond with your local charity by using Power Platform, this is the talk for you!

How: Expect engaging storytelling, live demos, practical cases of Power Automate and SharePoint working together, tips on how to work with diverse Stakeholders and much more!

Takeaways:
• Concrete - and cool - examples of applying Power Platform for non-profit organisations.
• Strategies for effective collaboration and user adoption.
• Inspiration to go back home, bring your tech skills to the table, and help your local charity.
