  Tired in a Way Sleep Can’t Fix? The Hidden Cost of Always-On Work CultureAre you feeling exhausted even after a full night of sleep? Picking up your phone nearly 200 times a day without thinking about it? In this episode of Beyond the Feature, we move past quick-fix productivity hacks to focus on the human side of our constant digital connections.

  Beyond the Feature Episode 44 - Digital Declutter

  Sep 7, 202617 min

  Digital Decluttering is about making our use of tools and time manageable. I wrote a book recently called Digital Lagom (available on Amazon, link below). Lagom is a Swedish word meaning just right. Enough to do the job. Not too little, but also not too much. This podcast episode is mostly about addressing the too much part, because nowadays too little is not really a problem anymore. But finding that balance is the trick! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HHGD75S9 www.drpjj21.com www.olympusacademypress.com www.beyondthefeature.com Comment!

  Power Automate is part of the Microsoft 365 ecosystem of apps, and is often overlooked. Today we are going to go over what it is, and why to use it. We have a few examples, so that maybe it might spur some ideas on how you too can integrate into your workflow! www.drpjj21.com www.olympusacademypress.com www.beyondthefeature.com

  Beyond the Feature Episode 42 - What is Microsoft Scout?

  Aug 24, 202618 min

  An emerging concept in AI is the always on presence that sits as the chief of staff as your work, an Autopilot. In Microsoft, this tool is called Scout. While it is not generally available yet, it is time to start thinking about how this autopilot fits into our work, our environment, and our culture, and start the change management preparation for those ripples. While chat is prompt based, and Cowork, is task based, Scout continues the evolution to always on and partnering with your work. This podcast episode is an explanation into how it may fit in organizations and how to mentally prepare for it's arrival. Comment!

  Beyond the Feature Episode 41 - Copilot Cowork

  Aug 17, 202614 min

  You may have seen at the top of your M365 that there is a new option. If your organization has a copilot license for you, you may have seen a toggle at the top between copilot chat and now cowork. Or you may have heard cowork mentioned somewhere. Well, this episode describes what Cowork is, what makes it different than just chat, and how it can be used. This is a direction that more AI is moving towards, along with Scout (which we will talk about in a future episode!). But for now, let's explore Cowork. Comment!
