Microsoft MVP | Digital Workplace

Richard Plantt is a Microsoft MVP, UX designer, consultant, and Registered Graphic Designer (RGD) who is passionate about creating digital workplaces that are as thoughtful as they are functional. Richard works at the intersection of design, technology, and employee experience, helping organisations make Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and Copilot easier to understand, use, and adopt. His approach combines UX, accessibility, visual design, and practical technology to turn complex ideas into experiences that feel simple and intuitive. As a speaker, Richard focuses on the human side of technology. His sessions explore how thoughtful design can improve digital workplaces, how AI is changing the way we create and collaborate, and how tools like SharePoint and Copilot can help people work more effectively. Whether he’s designing an intranet, experimenting with the latest Microsoft 365 capabilities, or sharing what he’s learned with the community, Richard brings curiosity, creativity, and a strong belief that great technology should work for people, not the other way around.

What does an intelligent intranet actually look like in the age of Copilot? In this practical session, we’ll explore how SharePoint and Copilot are changing the way employees discover information, create content, get answers and take action. We’ll look at the latest capabilities across SharePoint, Copilot and agents, and show practical ways to bring intelligence directly into the employee experience. You’ll leave with ideas you can apply to your own intranet to make it more useful, more connected and better prepared for the next generation of work.
