Accelerate Copilot adoption with up to 50% off training

The promise of AI and Microsoft 365 Copilot in particular is clear. Microsoft research demonstrates that Copilot adoption results in: Significant time savings across departments Improved efficiency in document creation and communication Enhanced employee satisfaction and reduced repetitive tasks Copilot boosts creativity and makes data-driven insights more accessible than ever before. But how can businesses realise these benefits at scale? As the 2024 Work Trend Annual Report noted: “We’ve come to the hard part of any tech disruption: moving past experimentation to business transformation. Just as we saw with the advent of the internet or the PC, business transformation comes with broad adoption.” Training drives effective AI adoption Key findings of a recent Australian Government trial of Microsoft 365 Copilot highlight the importance of AI skilling: Capability challenges were a key barrier to adoption; participants needed both tailored training that provided agency-specific use cases and general generative AI training in prompt engineering. 75% of participants who received three or more forms of training were confident in their ability to use Copilot -- 28 points higher than those who received just one form of training. Training enhanced confidence in Copilot use and was most effective when tailored to an agency’s specific context. Identifying specific use cases for Copilot could lead to greater use of Copilot.
