Executive Assistant Productivity Architect

Choose the format that fits how you learn

Become a Productivity Architect — in five intensive days or across 10 live sessions.

Two live online ways to complete the Executive Assistant Productivity Architect methodology: the intensive EAPA Sprint or the extended 10-session EAPA Programme.

Both formats are built for Executive Assistants and senior support professionals who want to redesign how work gets done using Microsoft 365, Copilot, AI and automation — with a real workplace workflow project at the centre.

Microsoft 365 + AI + automation
Applied workplace project
Workflow-led

Which format should I choose?

Choose the Sprint if you want an immersive week and can protect five consecutive days. Choose the 10-session programme if you want more time between sessions to implement changes in your role, bring back questions and refine what you are building.

Not a tour of Microsoft apps

EAPA is built around how work actually happens. You start with the workflow, not the technology.

You learn how Microsoft 365, Copilot, AI and automation connect across real EA workflows. You analyse how work currently happens, identify friction and redesign one practical process from your own role.

The goal

Become the person who does not simply complete the work. Become the person who improves how the work happens.

What changes after EAPA

Build practical capability that improves how work gets done.

Build better workflows

Connect Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Lists, Planner, Forms, Excel and Power Automate around real EA work.

Reduce manual work

Identify duplication, delays and repeated tasks before deciding what should be automated.

Use AI with judgement

Apply Copilot and AI with stronger decisions around permissions, risk, confidentiality and organisational guardrails.

Create better visibility

Make requests, actions, files, decisions and priorities easier to track and communicate.

Support leaders strategically

Move beyond task execution and advise on how work should happen.

Prove the value

Complete a real project showing the workflow redesign, tools used and value created.

The Productivity Architecture methodology

Both formats use the same eight-stage framework so you improve the workflow before choosing the technology.

Discover
Understand the work and where friction is happening.
Map
Make the current process visible.
Diagnose
Identify duplication, delays, risk and unnecessary effort.
Design
Create a better way for the work to flow.
Govern
Consider permissions, confidentiality, ownership and guardrails.
Build
Choose and connect the Microsoft 365 tools that fit.
Measure
Show what improved.
Evolve
Refine the workflow as work changes.

The five-day Sprint journey

Five focused days from task execution to workflow design.

Day 1: From Busy EA to Productivity Architect

Analyse work, identify friction and move from reactive support to workflow design.

Day 2: AI, Copilot, Prompting and Agents

Use AI with greater confidence, structure and judgement across executive support work.

Day 3: SharePoint, Teams and Information Architecture

Create stronger structure for files, ownership, permissions and collaboration.

Day 4: Outlook, Forms, Planner, Lists and Excel

Redesign communication, intake, actions, priorities and reporting around clearer workflows.

Day 5: Power Automate, Power Apps and Your Project

Bring everything together through automation and one practical workflow redesign.

Prefer more implementation time?

The 10-session EAPA Programme covers the methodology across half-days with time between sessions to apply and refine what you are building.

I wanted to say how much I enjoyed the minute taking course Ana and I did with you. I have to admit that I was dreading the day as I have always hated minute taking and thought the course would be hell and boring too. How wrong I was! Not only did you make the day very rewarding and fun, but I also learnt so much. I have returned  to the office totally fired up and actually looking forward to the next time I have to take minutes, so I can put these new ideas into practice. I never thought I would say that! Thank you again, good luck with the awards
