Overview

Copilot isn't just a productivity tool for individual contributors. Used well, it changes how leaders prepare, decide and communicate. This workshop is specifically designed for managers and senior staff who want to get strategic value from Copilot, not just save a few minutes on emails. We'll look at how to use it for meeting preparation, rapid summarisation of complex information, sharper delegation and smarter oversight. You'll also leave with a clear approach for modelling good Copilot habits to your team, including knowing when to trust it and when to question it.
