What is AB 365?
The aim of the AB 365 programme is to change not only the way we work as individuals but as an organisation. This strongly links to the Connect for Success principle that we maximise the opportunities that technology offers. In undertaking this programme, we will be introducing you to a set of principles that you will work towards to ensure you are getting the most out of the Microsoft 365 platform. These principles have been adopted by the council as our new way of working.
You do not need to adopt every principle at once. AB 365 has been designed to act as an enabler to start you on your learning journey with the platform to ensure you get the most out of MS 365 and make it work for you. It will focus on the benefits you will receive by completing this programme and adopting these principles.
With the AB 365 programme you will get the opportunity to explore the platform and undertake practical activities to show you by adopting this way of working it will save you time, reduce emails and increase your productivity.

- Minimise distractions and focus on tasks.
- Manage your workload with tools including the To Do and Calendar apps.
- Reduce emails by having one document that the whole team can edit.
