Episode 373 - Effectiveness

In this episode, I look ahead to Microsoft Ignite and the continuing evolution of Copilot, Work IQ, AI agents and cybersecurity, before exploring a bigger question: is AI actually making businesses better, or simply helping them do more things faster? AI isn’t magic pixie dust that can fix broken processes. Before automating, businesses need to identify bottlenecks, simplify and document processes, establish measurable outcomes and decide where AI genuinely adds value. The real opportunity isn’t generating more emails, documents and automation, but using AI to create better outcomes, reclaim valuable time and continuously improve the way the business operates.

This episode covers the latest Microsoft 365, Copilot, security, OneDrive and Intune updates, along with some thoughts on what we can expect from Microsoft Ignite. I also look at recent MSP security concerns around ConnectWise and SkyKick and why better logging, auditing and monitoring should be a priority. The bigger topic, however, is where AI is taking the MSP industry. AI will increasingly automate traditional Tier 1 work, while customers will expect IT providers to deliver faster, more consistent services at a lower cost. But putting AI into individual PSA, RMM and security products only creates more intelligent silos. The real opportunity is orchestration: an AI layer across the entire technology stack that can bring these systems together and act more like a digital employee. I share what I've been doing with Grokbot and why I think this orchestration model is where MSPs need to be heading.

In this episode of the Need to Know Podcast, I cover recent Microsoft news, including strong financial results, continued Azure growth, rising Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption, and major security updates. Key security stories include supply chain compromise, cybercrime disruption, hotel Wi-Fi credential theft, and Project Perception, which points toward a future where security is increasingly managed by AI agents rather than manual review. The episode also highlights new Microsoft 365 Copilot capabilities, web grounding domain controls, Copilot in SharePoint improvements, plus two new CIAOPS simulators for Exchange/Defender policy flow and Microsoft 365 sign-in/Conditional Access testing.   The broader discussion focuses on how AI is changing software, security, and business productivity. I argue that cheaper open-weight AI models, Microsoft’s MAI models, and tools like GitHub Copilot make it easier for businesses to build their own dashboards, simulators, and lightweight applications instead of relying only on traditional software. He also introduces the idea of a “SharePoint gardener” to keep SharePoint information organised for AI use, and explains how AI loops can continuously test, improve, and refine code or business processes with human oversight where needed.   Resources CIAOPS Need to Know podcast - CIAOPS - Need to Know podcasts | CIAOPS X - https://www.twitter.com/directorcia [email protected] CIAOPS Blog Join my Teams Shared Channel – CIAOPS CIAOPS Merch store - CIAOPS Become a CIAOPS Patron CIAOPS AI Dojo  CIAOPS weekly news update - CIA Brief – CIAOPS CIAOPS Labs – The Special Activities Division of the CIAOPS Support CIAOPS Get your M365 questions answered via email Join my email list A special thanks to the CIAOPS Patron community for making this podcast possible.

This episode ultimately reflects on how organisations must adapt to an environment where solutions are no longer neatly balanced between simplicity and capability. Instead, businesses need to reassess priorities, stay informed, and make deliberate choices about which innovations deliver real value. For SMBs, the challenge is not just keeping up—but identifying what’s truly “good enough” in an increasingly complex cloud-first world.

In this episode, we dig into Cowork Skills and why they represent a genuine shift from “AI as a novelty” to “AI as part of how work actually gets done.” Not more prompts. Not more tools. But fewer decisions, less friction, and more consistency across the business.  If you’ve ever thought “Copilot is interesting, but it’s not really embedded yet”, this episode is for you.
