Wise Owl Lunch and Learn Sessions
The problem: you want to learn some useful features of your favourite software but you don't have the time to attend one of our full training courses. The solution: book us for a "lunch and learn" presentation session where we'll talk about your choice of topic while you sit back and enjoy your lunch.

Here at Wise Owl, we're used to delivering in-depth, multi-day training courses for small groups of delegates. But we appreciate that not everyone has the time to devote to attending these courses - so much to do, so little time!

Recently, a client found themselves in exactly that situation so, in a change from the norm, we agreed to present a one-hour session to a larger group over a lunchtime.

This went down pretty well so we've decided to offer the service more widely in the form of Wise Owl Lunch and Learn sessions.

We'll provide the learning, but it's up to you to provide the lunch ...

How does it work?

It's simple!

Pick a topic you'd like us to talk about.
Choose a date and time that works for your team (it doesn't necessarily have to be a lunchtime!).
Contact us to arrange a session.
Grab some lunch and enjoy the presentation!

We'll deliver the presentation via Microsoft Teams and you can choose if you'd like us to talk for the entire duration of the one-hour session or leave some time for your team to ask questions at the end.

Alternatively we can visit your company or organisation to deliver either a presentation in person (all that you'd need to do would be to provide a sufficiently large meeting room and speaker stand) or workshop-style drop-in training.

What topics can I pick?

Anything you like! Although preferably about some aspect of software that we deliver training courses in. It could be a specific feature of a particular piece of software or something more general. For reference, the inaugural session I mentioned above dealt with comparing traditional and modern ways of referencing cells and using lookup functions in Excel. Here are some other ideas to get you started:

An overview of Power Query in Excel or Power BI.
The OVER clause and window functions in SQL Server.
Publishing and sharing Power BI reports.
Using pivot tables in Excel.
Generating code in ChatGPT.
Tips on how AI can save you time in your role.
What Power Automate flows are and do.
Thoughts on whether your team should be learning Python (the pros and cons).

How do I arrange a session?
