Training

Workshops that end with something your team can use.

I am a Microsoft Certified Trainer. The formats below are what I can offer to teams in Singapore and the region, onsite or online, in English or German. Each one works with your own environment where possible and ends with a concrete result, not just slides.

How I run them

  • A short call beforehand: who attends, what they already know, which questions are open
  • Hands-on in a test tenant or, read-only, in yours
  • Examples from real projects, anonymised
  • A written summary with the commands, decisions and next steps

Formats

Each topic works as a half-day introduction, a full-day workshop or a series of shorter sessions. They can also be combined into a handover at the end of a project, so the team that runs a system afterwards understands it.
