SSpadel 2028

People first

Everyone learns. Everyone can build.

The measure of success is not the number of tools, but the hours and decisions given back to people. A proposed training plan, built into each deployment.

Modules

  • What agents are, and what they are not
  • Jarvis in Teams & Outlook: briefs, questions, drafts
  • Approving well: checking agent work
  • Data rules: what never leaves approved tools

When

Jan – Mar 2027

Format
