How To Lead Information, Not Just Manage It: EMPOWER Masterclass (Free) | 17th November 2026

This masterclass is scheduled to run on...

About this masterclass

Most organisations already have Microsoft 365 but very few are using it effectively.

Add AI into the mix - and suddenly information leaders are being asked to answer questions around risk, readiness, governance, and accountability… often without a clear framework to support those decisions.

This masterclass changes that.

Delivery

Led by a live instructor, learn virtually (via Microsoft Teams) alongside a small group of other students.

Duration

1 Hour

Certification

No certification included

Free Masterclass

Become a confident, visible, and credible information leader - not just the person who keeps things compliant.

EMPOWER Accelerator

More about this masterclass

What this masterclass is about

This session is not about adding more policies or more tools. It’s about giving you a practical, leadership-driven way to manage information across your organisation - so governance actually works.

Using the EMPOWER 7-pillar framework, you’ll learn how to bring together:
  • Information management
  • Microsoft 365
  • AI readiness
  • Governance and compliance into one clear, structured approach.

What you’ll learn

In this session, you’ll explore the 7 pillars that underpin effective information leadership:
  • Engagement - Why governance fails when people aren’t brought with you
  • Management - How clarity of ownership changes everything
  • Process - Turning theory into practical, usable processes
  • Oversight - Building confidence through risk, audit, and visibility
  • Workforce - Creating capability across your organisation
  • Excellence - Raising standards and professional credibility
  • Resources - Making better use of Microsoft 365, AI, and existing tools.

Why this matters

Most governance approaches fail because they are:
  • Too focused on compliance
  • Too disconnected from the business
  • Too reliant on tools to fix people problems


This masterclass helps you move to a model that is:
  • Practical
  • People-led
  • Focused on real outcomes

Who this masterclass is for

This masterclass is designed for:
  • Information Leaders
  • Records Managers
  • Governance Professionals
  • Microsoft 365 leads
  • Anyone responsible for managing information, data, or risk

What you’ll leave with

You’ll leave with:
  • A clear understanding of where your organisation is today
  • Insight into what is holding your governance back
  • A simple way to prioritise your next steps
  • Greater confidence in leading information, not just managing it

Your next step

At the end of the session, you’ll be invited to take the EMPOWER Scorecard. This will give you:
  • A personalised view of your strengths and gaps
  • A clear starting point across the 7 pillars
  • A pathway into the EMPOWER programme.
