Be more productive: Microsoft 365 + Copilot

Undoubtedly, your team will be using AI in one form or another, whether it be for research, drafting emails, putting together PowerPoints, or collating data in Excel. But unless you’ve got oversight of the AI they’re using, their tools may be ineffective at best or even putting your data at risk of being compromised. 

The solution isn’t an outright ban on AI but rather empowering them with a tool that’s not only secure to shield your business from risk, but packed with features to make them much more productive and efficient. Microsoft’s new Copilot Business packages offer a solution that combines their suite of business tools with the productivity benefits of Microsoft 365 Copilot. 

Let’s take a look at where Microsoft 365 Copilot’s productivity features can power your team. 

Save time on everyday tasks 

You’ve probably heard that AI can help you eliminate the daily tasks that are holding you back. Copilot also makes this promise and has the research to back it up. According to a gov.uk experiment, Copilot can help workers save an average of 26 minutes per day. That’s nearly 2.5 hours a week, or 10 hours a month – per employee. 

By giving your team a head start on drafting documents, emails and presentations in seconds, the productivity benefits are clear. You’re supporting your team with the tools to delegate their admin work, so they can get straight towards the creative and strategic work you hire them for. 

Effortlessly create content with AI 

Creative tasks can take time. Creativity doesn’t always strike, and when it does, there’s a big task ahead to finish writing a blog, drafting up a product plan, or compose a compelling email to a big account. Often the biggest hurdle to overcome, is just making a start. 

Copilot in Word and Outlook can help generate first drafts, rewrite content for tone, or summarise long articles and documents for key points. In PowerPoint, your natural language prompts can turn your ideas into structured slide decks based on your existing templates. With Copilot, productivity is second nature.  

Rather than creating content for you, Copilot saves your team time drafting and editing, so they can get to work optimising and perfecting your messaging so they can create content that drives action. 

Make decisions faster with data insights 

When it comes to making decisions in a timely manner, Copilot in Excel is the key to making data accessible and readily available for everyone in your business. Organising data isn’t for everyone, but Copilot’s natural language prompts in Excel make it second nature. 

Summarise key trends. Create forecasts. Identify risks. 

Large datasets? No problem. Bridge the gap between data and action for managers and commercial teams, helping them to make faster and better-informed decisions, without having to rely on specialists. 

Summarise meetings and emails in seconds 

Meetings and emails are two of your biggest productivity drains. While they’re home to your brightest ideas and planning, they quickly stack up and note taking can only get you so far. 

Copilot in Teams generates meeting summaries, highlighting key actions on the back of your discussions, so you can get to work immediately, making sure your meetings make an impact. 

Trying to make heads or tails of long Outlook threads is another huge productivity-blocker. But with thread summaries and suggested replies, Copilot makes it easier to execute on plans and keep moving forward. Reduce cognitive overload and stop losing hours to your inbox and catching up on meetings. 

Onboard new team members faster 

Copilot’s agents can help new starters get to grips with things like tone of voice, company processes, and gives them access to the tools they need to succeed, faster.  

Choose from one of Copilot’s off-the-shelf agents, or build your own, so you can train them to work to your business needs. The sky’s the limit, with agents to help with everything from automating tasks, to providing insights and analytics and tailored learning resources including interactive exercises. 

Help your new team members get up to speed faster than ever, so they can start making an impact.
