Ep 44 - FinOps Comes to Copilot and Cowork

So, Consworth was great.

If I'm honest, I didn't have the full experience.

Sadly, if I've said in the show, my wife had a knee operation a few weeks ago.

She still can't drive, can't really move around too much.

So I was kind of driving over the what should be a one hour drive.

For those who know the UK, it's along the M25 on the south side.

So it was anywhere between one hour and two and a half hours, which is always good fun in this hot weather on there.

So sadly, I wasn't there.

I have to say one of my happy places is the hotel bar in Woking the night before Comsverse starts.

Everyone's kind of catching up with each other, having a few drinks.

I missed that, which is very sad and also meant I missed the show.

speaker dinner on the Wednesday night as well.

But still, it was lovely to see people.

Really, really good event from there.

Didn't see too many sessions, mostly because I was preparing for my own.

I was doing a session on building agentic solutions for healthcare with Lewis Baybutt.

So we were working together at Avanade and thought we'd We talk a little bit about the journey we had there, and that went very nicely.

I made the comment that the foundation of those slides were made on the one day where you could have co-work without any cost, and you could enable the Fable model.

And I managed to choose that one day to generate my slides on that.

And it came out very beautifully, I have to say.

And I won't be able to do that again for a long time, and certainly not as cheaply as I did it then.

But it came out well.

And then, as you said, we had a session with Adina on the – actually, the last session of the day had about 15, 16 people on there, which was pretty good considering most people had gone home by then.

And we were talking about sheep herding with Agent 365.

Now, we were told by Jeff that we really need to improve why we're talking about sheep.
