🧠 AI in Practice Lab – Making Copilot Count: Turning Mandates into Momentum

Time & Date: 11 AM Tuesday 28 October 2025
Many organizations have already rolled out Microsoft Copilot — but few have seen the real return. Instead of transforming workflows, it’s often sitting idle or underused. This 45-minute hands-on session is designed to change that.
In AI in Practice Lab #3, you’ll learn how to move beyond “check-the-box” adoption and make Copilot an active part of how work gets done — streamlining writing, analysis, and collaboration across Microsoft 365.

💡 What You'll Learn
• From Access to Impact: Understand why most teams struggle to see results from Copilot — and how small shifts in usage can create immediate productivity gains.
• Prompting with Context: Learn how to give Copilot the right signals so it reflects your organization’s language, standards, and workflows.
• Real Use Cases Inside Microsoft 365: Watch how Copilot can summarize meetings in Teams, draft proposals in Word, analyze data in Excel, and update plans in PowerPoint — without leaving your workflow.
• Scaling with Structure: Explore how leading firms are building internal Copilot playbooks and governance models to help their teams use AI confidently and responsibly.
You’ll leave with practical templates, prompt examples, and a framework for helping your team turn Copilot from a mandated tool into a meaningful advantage.

👥 Who It's For
• Professionals and team leads in firms where Copilot is already deployed, but adoption or value remains low.
• Innovation, IT, and transformation leaders responsible for enabling better AI use across the organization.
• Advisors and consultants helping clients turn Copilot access into measurable business outcomes.
