Practical Use of Microsoft AI Tools for Project Managers and Teams
This interactive workshop focuses on practical demonstrations of Microsoft AI tools that help project managers and teams streamline planning, reporting, communication, and daily operations.
Participants will learn how to effectively use Microsoft Copilot within Microsoft 365 apps to simplify output preparation, meeting notes, document drafts, and task tracking. We'll explore how Copilot in Microsoft Teams supports project teams by tracking discussions, summarizing meetings, and turning outcomes into actionable tasks. We will also introduce the use of Copilot for Project and show how AI can be used for planning and managing projects. In addition, the workshop will introduce the concept of Microsoft AI agents – customized AI assistants built on top of the Microsoft Copilot platform. Participants will see how these agents can automate workflows, assist with routine tasks, and provide intelligent recommendations based on real-time data.
Jakub Větrovec
He is the Founder and Country Lead of the Czech & Slovak Chapter of the Change Management Institute, where he actively supports the development of the local change management community and works to close the maturity gap between the Czech market and more advanced international regions by bringing practical knowledge, experience, and perspectives from across the world. Throughout his career, he has worked with organisations on complex transformations across people, processes, technology, and organisational design. His approach combines structured delivery with a strong focus on the human side of change, helping leaders and employees navigate transformation in a practical and sustainable way. He believes successful transformation is built on trust, psychological safety, and mutual respect between leadership and employees, while maintaining a strong focus on business impact and long-term organisational capability.
Beyond Go-Live: Managing the Human Side of Project Success
Projects rarely fail because the solution was not delivered. More often, they fail because people do not adopt the change in the way the project expected. The system goes live, but the organisation continues to work in old patterns.
This interactive workshop introduces project managers to practical change management perspectives that can strengthen project delivery without adding unnecessary complexity or heavy methodology.
Participants will work with a realistic transformation scenario that gradually evolves throughout the session with new information, stakeholder reactions, and emerging risks. Through a series of facilitated exercises and reflections, they will explore how to better understand stakeholder impact, identify human-factor risks, anticipate resistance, and translate project changes into meaningful communication and action.
