Built for business teams
For managers, project teams, and professionals in operations, finance, HR, and other business functions who want a shared foundation for using Copilot. Participants need everyday Microsoft 365 experience; introductory sessions require no coding.
The goal is to help people choose useful tasks, give clear instructions, and judge the result before putting it to work.
What your team can practice
Copilot Chat
Frame a clear task. Supply context, sources, and constraints, then refine the response.
Word
Turn notes into a brief or working draft. Revise for your audience and check against the source.
Outlook
Review an email thread and draft a useful follow-up. Check tone, names, and commitments.
Teams
Work with meeting recaps and action items where available. Confirm decisions before sharing.
PowerPoint
Give a presentation a clear structure. Refine the story, evidence, and visual choices.
Excel
Explore a dataset and support formulas and analysis. Verify calculations and conclusions.
We select the relevant workflows together. A focused workshop can cover a few high-value scenarios; a longer program provides room for practice across applications.
Practice a connected workflow
A sample workshop follows a connected business task: review a project brief and meeting notes, identify open questions, draft a follow-up email, develop a status document, and outline a stakeholder presentation. For finance and accounting teams, the scenario can connect a reviewed Excel analysis with management commentary and meeting preparation. Explore how to design Copilot training for finance and accounting teams for an example of that approach.

Start with the access your team actually has
Microsoft 365 Copilot experiences differ by license, application, and organizational settings. Before the training, we confirm participants’ access and agree on exercises that fit their environment. Copilot Chat and paid Microsoft 365 Copilot features are discussed in that context.
Practice can use sample materials. If your team wants to bring its own examples, we agree on appropriate content and handling arrangements in advance. Reviewing sources, checking AI output, and following your organization’s policies are part of the practice.

Questions about corporate Copilot training
Which Copilot tools does the training cover?
The program covers Copilot Chat and Copilot in Microsoft 365 apps. We agree on the applications and exercises after checking your team’s licenses and available features. For a program centered on spreadsheets, explore Copilot training for Excel teams.
How are the duration, group size, and fee decided?
Share the roles involved, approximate group size, preferred dates, and a task your team wants to improve. We agree on the learning objectives, agenda, duration, delivery format, materials, and fee before booking. Live online and onsite delivery are available by arrangement.
What support is available after a workshop?
For continued practice, explore ongoing Excel and Copilot coaching and office hours. This is a separate engagement with its own agreed scope and fee. The 30-day plan after Copilot training also offers a starting point for your internal follow-through.
Tell me what your team wants to do
Tell me who you are training — finance, accounting, operations, or another business team — along with your group size, the workflows you want Copilot to speed up, your current Copilot access, and the timing you have in mind. I’ll reply with a recommended format and a draft agenda, and it’s fine if you are still shaping scope or waiting on budget.
