9. The Executive Discussion
It is imperative that AI be led and owned by the business. It is too important to be left in
the hands of technologists alone. This is not a linear technology.
10. Starting With The Essentials For Copilot Success
While these all matter, there are a few other important things that ensure your continued success
with Copilot and Copilot for Microsoft 365. Consider how you scale, monitor, manage and more.
Define your path to
secure your data for
compliance and
peace of mind
Accelerate your
business impact by
defining highest
value scenarios
Nominate and activate
your Copilot executive
sponsors, in partnership
with your AI Council
11. AI Councils Or Cross-Functional & Multidisciplinary Body
This group will need to oversee, guide and support the development, deployment, evaluation and
adoption of AI capabilities across the organization.
It is essential for organizations to establish a governance
framework that ensures the responsible and ethical use
of AI across their operations and stakeholders.
One way to achieve this is to create an AI Council, a
cross-functional and multidisciplinary body that oversees
and guides the development, deployment, and evaluation
of AI solutions within the organization. An AI Council can
help to align the organization's AI strategy with its vision,
values, and goals, as well as to identify and mitigate
potential risks and harms of AI. An AI Council can also
foster a culture of trust, collaboration, and innovation
among the AI practitioners, users, and beneficiaries
within and outside the organization.
Get started today
aka.ms/copilot/AICouncilSetupGuide
The Challenges and Benefits of an AI Council
• Complexity: Technical, legal, ethical, social, and domain
specific aspects need to be considered.
• Pace of Change: Staying up to date requires ongoing
collaboration with experts to understand the evolving
landscape.
• Authority: The AI Council should have a clear mandate
and authority to oversee and guide the AI strategy,
governance, and implementation.
• Impact: Iterative analysis and guidance at a pace that
supports the needs of the business.
• Collaboration: Must include feedback and insights from
the core workforce, not just its executive management,
to have a deeper understanding of risks, issues, and
opportunities for cross-organizational process
improvement.
12. Define Your Rules For Responsible AI
You can be inspired by other organizations as many such as Microsoft have shared their
standards and requirements.

20. How Do We Get Ready For Copilot?
There are many things we should do to prepare the business, but these are starting points.
Copilot specific tactics
Foundational tasks
• Build the right team
• Identify scenarios
• Review Microsoft provided materials
• Onboard supporting resources
(as needed)
• Identify communication channels
and initial rhythm
• Build relationships with technical
leaders
• Understand Copilot for Microsoft 365
capabilities
• Review Responsible AI principles
• Identify early adopters and scale
onboarding cohorts
• Target AI-ready scenarios
• Build prompt and natural language
skills
• Embrace rapid feedback cycles
Shared activity
21. Manage & Utilize Stakeholder Management Best Practices
One of the keys is the have an approach that brings in new stakeholders as you scale and re-
engages stakeholders as you learn and achieve new milestones.
Validate strategic objectives
Ensure clear mission and goals from
existing executive stakeholders, AI Council
or business leaders for AI transformation.
Identify stakeholders
Identify all your potential stakeholders
(including senior executives, peers,
customers, prospective customers, etc.)
who have influence over your work or an
interest in its outcome.
Understand and assess
stakeholder relationship
Using the Power/Interest stakeholder grid,
map each stakeholder based on their
interest and influence over your work.
Then color code each one based on their
attitudes: Green=Supportive;
Yellow=Neutral; Red=Critical.
Define stakeholder management
approach and actions
Using the stakeholder planning sheet, list
all stakeholders and assess their key
interests/issues; attitudes; desired support;
messaging; relationship owners; and
actions.
Develop communication plan
Using the Power/Influence grid, define a
communication strategy/cadence for each
type of user. Use this as a guide to
“personalize” the communication plan for
your key stakeholders to meet their
individual needs.
Monitor and adapt
On regular intervals, re-assess
stakeholders’ influence, interest, and
attitudes and modify their communication
strategy appropriately.

22. Stakeholders Support Should Planned
While we know Team based nomination will be the driver for growth over time in
preparation it’s critical that we have leader and key stakeholder support.
Develop
stakeholder
・ Develop to Key stakeholder by
demonstrating value
・ Active, infrequent
stakeholder management
・ Consult in key decision
making
Key
stakeholder
・ Key stakeholders, main focus
・ Active, frequent stakeholder
management
・ Involve in key decision

・ These are the least critical
stakeholders
・ Inform infrequently via
general, broad-based
communications
Extended
stakeholder
・ Passive stakeholder
management
・ Provide information regularly
・ Ask for feedback
・ Involve in low-risk work
Using the Power/Interest stakeholder grid,
map each stakeholder based on their
interest and influence over your work.
Then color code each one based on their
attitudes:
Green = Supportive
Yellow = Neutral
Red = Critical

24. Securing Executive Sponsorship
Initially you only need a few executives to be onboard as you will find many others engage with
your AI committee and initiative over time as they start to see it’s impact across their teams.
・ Help the project team identify and prioritize
their top business needs. Encourage shared
planning between user enablement and
technical implementation teams.
・ Play a role in communicating the vision to
leaders across the organization.
・ Actively participate in and use the Copilot
capabilities to help drive and reinforce
enablement.
・ Promote the enablement program. Studies
show that 87% of successful transformation
projects had visible engagement by
Executive Sponsors.
Executive Sponsors should: Executive Sponsors may:
・ Lead or participate in the
organizational AI Council.
・ Have purchasing authority
for licenses or services from
supporting suppliers.
・ Be directly accountable for
Microsoft 365 or broader
digital workplace initiatives.

29. Why Use A Service Model?
A view of why Adoption (or Governance) like a service makes more sense in the AI era?
Adoption Projects
• Typically oriented around a launch.
• Typically uses point in time metrics (before & after).
• “Tragedy of the commons” risk.
Adoption
Services
• Works better with continual launch.
• Works better with continual metrics.
• Joint ownership and collaborative nature of a service
model makes opposition obvious and public.
30. Planning For Successful Adoption
Governance isn’t JUST risk mitigation it’s also about efficiency (think of how roles, play
books, and structure help teams succeed) and driving better digital excellence
(adoption).
31. Planning For Successful Adoption
We need to invest in key areas to enable and accelerate adoption. Governance isn’t
JUST RISK MITIGATION it’s also about efficiency and driving better digital excellence.

35. How Might You Get Started?
During the onboarding and engagement phase these are some typical key tactics and tasks.
Copilot specific tactics
Foundational tasks
• Complete User Enablement
Strategy training and template
• Define user experience
and feedback strategy
• Launch employee communications
and Champion program
• Onboard executives and user cohorts
• Deliver user Champions and support
staff training
• Review Microsoft provided training
and engagement content
• Design and deploy training
and engagement community
(Center of Excellence/Champion
Platform)
• Leverage Microsoft Viva for Copilot
Enablement (if available)
• Review overall plans with
AI Council and stakeholders
Shared activity
36. Craft A User Experience Strategy
This is another way for describing how you will handle the digital excellence around it.
A user experience strategy will enable you to quantify the value
received from implementing Copilot for Microsoft 365. Your technology enablement
team is central to the success
of your project and your
employees with your
technology investments.
Your user experience strategy
gives them a vision and
roadmap for success.
Use Copilot for Microsoft 365
to create the initial draft.
1 Identify target user personas
Driving enablement is an ongoing user and stakeholder engagement
process. It is a lifecycle activity not a moment in time.
3 Define engagement touch points
2 Quantify pain points and potential productivity gains
4 Prioritize user feedback methods and issue resolution
Define success measures and use cases

#ProTip
37. Getting To “Aha!” Moments
An aha moment is defined as “a moment of sudden insight or discovery”. This is a key
concept to understand and embrace due to the transformational nature of Copilot.
The Think-Act-Feel framework is
grounded in decades of research
showing a whole human understanding
– including feelings – is critical to
business outcomes.
Building on this framework we
understand that delivering accelerated
change is based on trust.
Feel

38. Technology Adoption Has Proven Patterns
Vision, usage, support, champions, training, awareness and communication help drive adoption.
Research results below support suggested approaches for building
your adoption plan.
Top reported activities for driving successful product adoption*:
1 Define a vision and identify how target product will be used
3
Enable Champions and provide business relevant, snackable,
and on-demand training for business users
2
Obtain proactive support from key roles to accelerate use of

39. Build Your Center Of Excellence
Leveraging Microsoft 365 to foster, facilitate and support your digital advancement.
Utilize Microsoft 365 technology to drive the adoption
of Copilot for Microsoft 365 by using our Center of
Excellence (CoE) best practices to build your own
community of practice.
1 Centralize team communications
3 Enable Microsoft communication and engagement
2 Implement adoption and project management tools
Use our Copilot CoE guidance to build these capabilities
into an existing team. Supplement by using our Microsoft
Viva for Copilot Enablement guide. Providing a
community of practice for training, questions, support,
and information improves the velocity of delivering user
satisfaction.
40. The distribution of collaborative work is often extremely lopsided. In most cases, 20% to 35% of
value-added collaborations come from only 3% to 5% of employees.
The Few Over the Many?
41. Understand How People Learn & Change
Copilot is an exponential change, so it needs to be tackled differently. We can improve how other
digital adoption and pilot initiatives work as well based on what we have been learning.
Shared activity
42. Identifying User Cohorts & Teams
For success, a much larger group of employees should be selected for Copilot onboarding than in
other service enablement plans. This allows knowledge sharing, feedback, and success at scale.
The list below describes the types of employees to include in your
program:
Users primarily from the same lines of business or
departments, preferably those who work together on a project
or business process.
Likely Champions or leaders who will become advocates
during the broad launch to the entire organization.
IT and help desk team members who will support users
during launch.
Important: Executive onboarding is a distinct category of
business user with different needs and requirements. Plan for
dedicated learning time and feedback cycles from these
users.
Shared activity
Champions will help to:
Create the groundswell of enthusiasm that grows adoption.
Build a circle of influence among their teams.
Bring the new ways of working to life across teams.
Identify business challenges and possible solutions.
Provide feedback to the project team and sponsors.
Reduce strain on core project team through active, ongoing
engagement.
43. Design & Build A Sustainable Champion Community
Champions help build, grow, and sustain your Copilot implementation by gathering feedback,
supporting the human change lifecycle, and providing peer to peer guidance.
Shared activity
Champions:
Should be formally trained to increase their depth and
breadth of knowledge.
Should be encouraged and empowered to guide,
teach, and train their peers.
Need consistent positive reinforcement that affirms the
impact of their efforts.
Need a clear plan upon which to execute.

44. Starting Point Champion Program Checklist
Ensure you have checked off each of the below items to get a baseline level of success and act as
the foundation for more advanced patterns.
Shared activity
Communicate to individuals about the Champions role
and where they can be found – remember, they are not
an IT support function but business representatives.
Incorporate Microsoft 365 training resources into your
own internal training site.
Create a contest (e.g., scavenger hunts and giveaways)
between departments to encourage people to interact
with Microsoft 365.
Find enthusiastic Champions who can commit time
and effort.
Build a Viva Engage or Microsoft Teams Group
for Champions to share updates and successes.
(See our Build Your Experience and Microsoft Viva
for Copilot Enablement guides).
Provide materials ready to support their work on
the group with teams and individuals (e.g., lunch
and learn sessions).
Ensure a regular rhythm for discussions with the
Champions on what’s working and what’s not.
Design a program to engage and recognize their
effort, such as providing privileged access to relevant
events or speaking engagements.
45. Consider Branding Your Champion Program(s)
This can help people identify, acknowledge and recognize these individuals.
Shared activity
Copilot Champions may be referred to with terminology that
is in alignment with your company culture.
Champions are professionally referred to as User Enablement
Specialists.
Microsoft Partners can aid you in creating your internal user
enablement function.
Champion recognition – in the form of badges for
engagement, Praise via Viva Insights, or other forms – are
essential to Champion morale.
As advocates for the employee experience, regular feedback,
employee engagement, and communications are required for
role success.
Champion duties are a part of the day-to-day duties of the
employee alongside their core job function.
Representation from across the organization ensures balanced
viewpoints and early identification of risks and issues.

Feedback & Data Help Drive Better Targeting
The Copilot for Microsoft 365 usage report includes two
sections: Readiness and Usage.
In the Readiness section, you can review technical
eligibility, license assignment, and users who are in a
strong position to get value from Copilot for Microsoft
365.
In the Usage section, you can view a summary of Copilot
for Microsoft 365 adoption with visibility into users’ last
Copilot for Microsoft 365 activity.
Interpret the Readiness section by analyzing assigned and
available Copilot licenses, how many users are technically eligible,
and how many are in a strong position to get value from Copilot for Microsoft
365.
If needed, you can export the report data into an Excel .csv file by selecting
the Export link. This exports the Copilot for Microsoft 365 last activity data of
all users and enables your identified report readers to do simple sorting,
filtering, and searching for further analysis.
95. In the Readiness tab, you assess your organization’s overall readiness for Copilot
rollout based on technical eligibility requirements and overall Microsoft 365 app
usage.
In the Adoption tab, you track user adoption trends per Microsoft 365 app and
Copilot feature.
In the Impact tab, you assess Copilot impact by layering the results of
Microsoft’s quantitative and qualitative research on top of your organization’s
Copilot and Microsoft 365 usage patterns.
The Sentiment tab provides information that helps you assess Copilot impact
