Understanding Microsofts AI Strategy in an Agentic World: The Rise of the Frontier
AI is no longer a technology conversation. It is a business strategy conversation. And Microsoft is making some of the boldest moves in the industry right now, reshaping how organisations work, compete and grow through an agentic vision that goes far beyond Copilot. In this expert session, Dynamics 365 community veteran and Business Development Manager Chris Parkes unpacks Microsoft's AI strategy from the ground up, where it came from, where it stands today and where it is taking us next.
Chris cuts through the noise and gets to what actually matters for businesses and the professionals who support them. From the concept of the Frontier Firm to the AI agents already live or coming soon in Microsoft Business Applications, this session gives you the strategic clarity and practical awareness you need to have confident, informed conversations with clients, leadership and your own team.
Understanding the strategy is what separates those who react to AI from those who lead with it.
