Nine two-day sessions to embed Copilot in managers’ daily work, starting from their own business cases.
In small groups, over nine two-day sessions.
Nine sessions built on real cases: Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, Teams.
International industrial group specialising in packaging: tubes, caps, components. Microsoft 365 and Copilot are deployed. The leadership launches a pilot aimed at managers — people who handle pricing, cost, sales-activity and HR files every day. Time saved on those tasks has direct leverage on their teams.
Make Copilot concrete on real industrial data, directly in the managers’ own files.
Nine two-day sessions, on site, in small groups — built as workshops on their own files.
Generative AI fundamentals, where Copilot sits in the Microsoft environment, security rules for sensitive data — prices, costs, HR — and verification reflexes.
The core of the programme, on real cases: consistency checks on a price table and price/cost cross-checks to protect margins, multi-year activity analysis, cost allocation by business unit, and a three-year payroll projection.
Bringing a presentation back to brand with the brand kit, an AI- generated visual and translation, slide-by-slide reliability checks on a market review, sourced event monitoring and competitive analysis, and a study of trends in a market segment.
Turning rough meeting notes into professional documents: a specification with numbered, prioritised requirements ready to share with suppliers, and a standardised quality procedure (steps, RACI, flowchart, versioning).
From a dense meeting report to a short, actionable summary email, then reviewing and structuring the key points of a Teams meeting: explicit subject line, decisions and deadlines preserved, a “who does what, by when” block, faithful to the source and verified.
Building custom Copilot agents — an HR Assistant answering only from the HR Guide and a competitive-watch agent with web search — then discovering Cowork to automate file and task processing beyond the Microsoft suite.
100+ people trained, all leaving with uses they could apply immediately to their own files. Managers now share a common frame: the same good practice, the same caution rules on sensitive data, the same verification reflexes. The Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook and Teams workshops proved the tool’s value on high-stakes tasks — pricing consistency checks, margin protection, payroll projection, reviewing Teams meetings — and every group built its first Copilot agents. The manager format created credible advocates to spread the practice through the teams.
“Workshops on our own files: people started using it during the training.”
