Harjit Dhaliwal sits down with Ele Ocholi, PM Manager, to unpack the surprisingly intricate business of getting users productive on Windows devices as fast—and as painlessly—as possible. The conversation zeroes in on the Autopilot Deployment Profile(APDP), user-first provisioning experiences, app limits, documentation, and how lessons learned in the government sector shaped a cleaner, more repeatable approach to device setup. It’s a practical tour of what actually happens between “new device” and “ready to work,” minus the usual mystery fog.
We pre-recorded this episode on location at the Microsoft Management Summit, then shaped it into a polished digital event through show development, guest preparation, custom graphics, and careful post-production. After editing, we streamed it across multiple channels and packaged it for on-demand viewing—quietly handling the logistics so the conversation stayed focused, clear, and refreshingly human.
