Get your foundation ready for AI

Get your foundation ready for AI

EU Collab Summit | May 5-7, 2026

Your Microsoft 365 has the information.
Your AI has the power.
Your employees still struggle.

Let's fix that - together.


Join us at the European Collaboration Summit 2026
May 05-07, Cologne, Germany

Many organizations have invested heavily in Microsoft 365. Yet when a new colleague joins, the experience tells another story: they receive access, tools, and a mountain of information - but little that truly helps them become effective from day one.

The knowledge is there. The tools are there. The intention is there.
But the information rarely surfaces at the right moment, in the right place, for the right person.

As a result:

  • Newly hired talent underperforms for weeks
  • Managers lose precious time filling knowledge gaps
  • AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot struggle because the underlying environment isn’t ready


At delaware, we believe there’s a better way - one that balances strong foundations with human-centered experiences.

Session agenda

Title: The Foundation Gets AI Ready. The Experience Makes It Human.

Speaker: Vincent Sterken, Go‑to‑Market Lead Digital Workplace & AI, delaware BeLux

Meet us on Thursday, May 7 at 10:50 - 11:10 AM on Stage 2 (B)

What to expect from our session

During this talk, you’ll discover:

  • Why many Microsoft 365 environments fail to support new employees effectively - and why AI alone won’t fix it
  • How to build a future-proof foundation: governed workspaces, lifecycles, classification, publication layers, and proper archiving
  • How the experience layer elevates everything: onboarding tabs, M365 Copilot agents, briefing workflows, weekly digests, and other guided experiences
  • Why foundation and experience need each other - and why one without the other leads to confusion or noise
  • Real examples from organizations already reaping the benefits
  • A practical, human approach to making Microsoft 365 + AI deliver real business value


Target group: 
This session is ideal for business leaders, IT leads, HR, digital workplace owners, and anyone striving to create a more effective, more human digital employee experience.
