Organizations are investing heavily in Power Platform and AI-but many are overlooking one of the most critical drivers of adoption and success:

Mentorship.

While training programs teach skills, mentorship builds confidence, context, and leadership-the very things required to move from learning to real impact. And when paired with sponsorship, mentorship becomes a catalyst for visibility, advocacy, and career progression-ensuring talent isn’t just developed, but championed.

Through the lens of the Women in Power initiative, this session explores how mentorship is evolving from traditional 1:1 relationships into scalable, community-driven models that accelerate both individual growth and organizational outcomes. The session also highlights the role of sponsors as organizational multipliers-using their influence to open doors, amplify voices, and translate mentorship into measurable advancement.

Attendees will learn:

Why mentorship is a business strategy-not a side initiative The difference between training builders and developing leaders How to design mentorship experiences that scale across organizations The measurable impact of mentorship on adoption, retention, and innovation

Because in the race to adopt AI, the organizations that win will be the ones who invest in people, not just platforms.
