About this episode:
In this episode of Knowledge Fika, I sit down with the one and only Paul Keijzers — long-time SharePoint legend, MVP, and someone who’s basically been living in site collections since 2001 (yes, before some intranets were even born).
We dig into the stuff that actually matters but too often gets ignored: metadata, governance, ownership, and why the SharePoint admin center still feels like it needs a strong cup of coffee and a UX redesign. Paul shares his take on Microsoft’s renewed love for metadata (finally!), what the new Knowledge Agent means for orgs drowning in documents, and why “garbage in, garbage amplified” is the AI mantra nobody wants but everyone needs.
We also poke at the myth of “low-code” — spoiler: Power Automate still expects you to know what you’re doing — and why every site deserves at least two responsible owners to avoid becoming a digital orphanage.
And because it is Knowledge Fika, we wrap with a light-hearted chat on the true priorities in life: good coffee (or your favourite kombucha!), good company, and well-governed content.
Tune in, learn something, laugh a little — and maybe rethink your metadata choices.
