Beyond AI pilots: What boards should be measuring
The real test of AI is whether the enterprise performs better than it did before.
Effective sales training focuses on providing reps with repeated practice and feedback rather than mere completion statistics. Most sales representatives struggle to handle customer objections effectively due to insufficient practice. The introduction of AI Roleplay allows reps to rehearse challenging scenarios and receive instant feedback on performance.

Microsoft sees no cyberattack sign in outage
Digital Desk | Washington, Nov 13 (IANS) Microsoft said Friday it had found no evidence of malicious activity behind an outage disrupting email and other services worldwide, as recovery efforts continued. Microsoft on Friday reported broader improvements in North America, sustained recovery across much of Europe and encouraging signs in the Asia-Pacific region. But many users could still face intermittent access problems or delayed email, it said. Microsofts public service-health page continued to show service degradation in an update posted at 7:58 am EST Friday. The company said it was working to stabilise recovered infrastructure, restore the remaining affected systems and reduce email backlogs. At this time, we have no evidence of malicious activity associated with this incident, it said. Microsoft said it would publish a full post-incident report explaining the cause and measures to strengthen its systems after mitigation was complete. Its statement did not establish a final cause or declare the disruption over. Executive Vice President Charles Lamanna had said late Thursday that there was no indication the outage resulted from malicious or cyber activity. We regret that today's outages caused disruptions for our customers, and we are working to address the issue, Lamanna wrote on X. Microsoft said features across its services that depended on Exchange Online and email could be affected, while functions that did not rely on those connections remained available. Most core Teams functions, including calls, meetings, group chats and channel messages, were not affected, according to the service-health notice. Calendar-related functions and some other features could fail. In a separate update at 7:09 am Friday, Microsoft said an extended 48-hour email timeout remained in place to help protect delayed messages while delivery caught up. The US House of Representatives warned users Thursday that Microsoft was experiencing a global disruption to Outlook services. Its alert said House technology staff were working with the company but had no timetable for restoration. New York City Emergency Management also warned that emails to city agencies and online services relying on Microsoft could be delayed or disrupted. It urged people with urgent requests to use another way to contact the relevant agency. In India, IndiGo said the outage continued to affect email support, but its flights and other business functions were operating normally. Other customer-support channels remained available, including its digital assistant, 6E Skai. Akasa Air warned of email-support delays and said it might be unable to receive customers messages. It directed passengers needing immediate assistance to its care centre or social-media channels. Air India said its flight operations and communication channels were unaffected. The airline said it had temporarily rerouted emails to ensure messages continued to arrive and was responding within its usual 24-hour timeline. Microsoft 365 combines cloud-based email, collaboration and office applications. Exchange Online supports mail, calendars and contacts, meaning a disruption can affect features in other products that depend on those services.
Microsoft said on Friday that it was seeing early signs of recovery from a major outage that has disrupted Outlook, Teams and other Microsoft 365 services for more than a day, after fixes it applied failed to work as intended.

Microsoft is experiencing a major global outage that has disrupted Outlook, Teams and several other Microsoft 365 services. This has left users unable to access emails, calendars, and workplace tools. The disruption began on November 12 and has since continued into the following day, affecting individuals, businesses and government organisations across multiple countries, including India. The Redmond-based tech giant has attributed the problems to infrastructure and connectivity issues, but restoring normal service has proved more difficult than expected.
Major Microsoft 365 Outage Continues
The worldwide Microsoft 365 outage continues, leaving users unable to access email and disrupting features in Teams, Copilot, and other services, although Microsoft says recovery efforts are making progress. Issues emerged on Thursday, November 12, with nearly 130,000 Outlook reports recorded on Downdetector shortly after 1 p.m. Eastern, according to the Associated Press . The disruption extended to businesses and government operations, with Japan confirming a significant impact on government IT systems. Exchange Online is at the center of the incident. Microsoft's service health page says affected users may have trouble opening mailboxes through Outlook on the web, desktop, and mobile. Messages may also be delayed. Exchange accounts accessed through other clients such as Apple Mail are also experiencing problems because the disruption involves Microsoft's underlying infrastructure. Similarly, the disruption has reached third-party AI services that connect to Microsoft accounts. The outage is also interrupting Microsoft 365 features that rely on Exchange. Copilot chats may fail, and the assistant may be unable to retrieve work emails, calendars, or files. Microsoft has identified additional problems involving Planner, To Do, administrative tools, and some SharePoint functions, although files stored directly in SharePoint remain accessible. Microsoft Teams is not entirely offline. Microsoft says that most calling, meeting, and messaging functions remain available, but users may encounter errors when scheduling meetings, handling invitations, or editing calendar entries. Some contact and channel management features are also affected. Microsoft's latest update said repairs across parts of the Asia Pacific region were improving mailbox access and helping delayed emails move through the system. The company is extending that work to other regions and adding capacity, but some users may still experience intermittent failures. Microsoft has increased the email timeout window to 48 hours to help protect delayed messages while backlogs clear. It says it has found no evidence of malicious activity and has not provided a deadline for full restoration.
