Two sessions on the human side of Microsoft business-apps work, from the Manchester chapter of the Dynamics 365 & Power Platform UK User Group, hosted at Irwin Mitchell on St Peter's Square. Kayleigh Duddy (Dynamics 365 Team Leader, ANS Group) and Lynsey Winchurch (Power Platform & Dynamics 365 Architect, CPS) open on the consultancy skills AI can't do: listening, stakeholder wrangling, client rapport. After pizza, Ian Tweedie (Capgemini) and Dan Barber (Microsoft MVP, founder of Strathos) are interviewed on rebuilding consulting culture when delivery has become all tools and speed, with audience Q&A. Arrivals from 17:45, talks 18:15 to 20:00, then a social. Free, registration on Meetup.
