# Kneading udon: notes from driving enterprise IT adoption

- Notes on what I try and learn in enterprise IT
- Nine topics: AI, security, ServiceNow, Microsoft 365, learning, career, events, books and automation
- From short memos to step-by-step guides

Hi, I'm udon. This blog is where I write down what I learn from trying out the technology I use at work, studying for certifications, and attending meetups.

## Why I write

Mostly to understand things better. Even with topics I've already researched, I keep finding that writing them down deepens my understanding. I want this blog to have some real chew to it, like good udon.

I also hope to give even a small boost to people working in the same field. Years ago there were plenty of blogs that started with "writing this down so I don't forget," and more than once I was rescued by some great predecessor whose name I never knew. This is partly my way of paying that back.

## What I write about

- **AI**: using Copilot and Claude at work, and rolling them out
- **Security**: attack techniques, running AI agents safely, and designing defenses
- **ServiceNow**: running ServiceNow for ITSM and workflows
- **Microsoft 365**: admin center, Entra ID, Intune
- **Learning**: study logs and exam reports
- **Career**: working in enterprise IT, and thinking about a career
- **Events**: meetups, webinars and conferences
- **Books**: notes on tech and business books
- **Automation**: I'm lazy to the core, so I automate my work as thoroughly as I can, and I'll share the know-how and methods

The "Now learning" section on the home page shows what I am studying and reading right now. One bowl at a time.
