THE CHALLENGE

Accelerating Adoption of Copilot for Microsoft 365 Across the Workforce

Our client’s leadership identified the imperative to enhance employee efficiency, particularly among information workers. With a workforce of considerable scale, the client aimed to implement generative AI technology, specifically Copilot for Microsoft 365, across its organization. The challenge lay in promoting rapid adoption of this technology and ensuring that employees maximized its potential to optimize their workflows.

THE solution

Empowering change through adoptive strategies

To address this challenge, the conglomerate partnered with Valorem Reply’s Modern Work practice to implement a comprehensive Adoption and Change Management strategy, aimed at accelerating the adoption of Copilot and empowering employees to leverage its capabilities effectively.

Training Program

An 8-week program was designed to showcase the possibilities offered by Copilot, present general use cases, and facilitate the transition to new ways of working. The training sessions were structured to accommodate both live participation and access to recorded content via SharePoint, ensuring flexibility for all users.

Engagement and Community Building

Leveraging an existing Super User community, coupled with Technical Change Network Leaders (Tech CNLs), the conglomerate fostered an engaged community to drive adoption from the top down. This involved cascading messaging, promoting the benefits of Copilot, and gathering valuable feedback from users. Regular surveys and feedback mechanisms enabled the conglomerate to gather insights from end users and Super Users alike.

Customized Resources

Valorem Reply developed custom, reusable assets tailored to the conglomerate's specific needs. These resources, including guides and talking points, were instrumental in reinforcing training outcomes and aligning messaging across the organization.
