Let's explore how your organization can maximize its use of Microsoft Copilot and truly unlock its full potential.

First and foremost, understanding the core features and capabilities of Copilot is essential. This includes familiarizing yourself with its ability to optimize various workflows, automate routine tasks, and enhance decision-making through real-time insights. By integrating these functionalities into your daily operations, you can significantly improve efficiency and productivity.

Next, it's crucial to focus on streamlining your current processes. Evaluate your existing workflows and identify areas where Copilot can offer the most value. For example, by automating repetitive tasks, you can free up your employees' time to focus on more strategic initiatives. Additionally, Copilot's advanced analytics can help you make data-driven decisions, leading to better outcomes for your organization.

Implementing new features is another key aspect of maximizing Copilot's potential. Stay abreast of the latest updates and enhancements, and be proactive in adopting them. This might involve training your team on new functionalities or working with experts to customize Copilot to better suit your specific needs.

Overcoming common challenges such as change management and governance is also vital. Ensure that you have a robust plan in place to manage the transition and address any resistance to change. This may involve setting clear expectations, providing adequate training, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Finally, don't hesitate to seek external support if needed. Whether it's consulting with experts at Argano to fine-tune your Copilot implementation or participating in forums and communities to share best practices, leveraging external resources can be invaluable in maximizing your use of Copilot.

By following these strategies, your organization can fully harness the power of Microsoft Copilot and achieve greater efficiency, agility, and success in today's competitive business landscape.

That said, you may need some expert assistance across any of the Pillars. Are you finding yourself needing any of the following?

  • Do you need help turning on off the shelf features of Copilot? Do you know which features best serve your business?
  • Have issues such as change management, governance, and/or risk and compliance gotten in the way of adopting Copilot? (You’re not alone: Not every company has an AI plan that’s ready to roll.)
  • How about starting from the ground up – building your own generative AI capabilities?
  • Have you seen Copilot “in action?” Demoed it in any way? Would you like to?

Identifying a good use case is a great way to go about understanding the features, let’s take summarization and inquiry. Then identifying a process – like inventory availability. It’s time to show you exactly how it works. Following are examples of Copilot being put to use within Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

The first screenshot is simply a launch screen. Following that, you’ll see prompts provided by one of our engineers (in purple text boxes) and how Copilot did everything else. Not only that, but you’ll also see additional prompts from Copilot (follow-up questions, as it were) after it executes each request.

 

As you can see, Copilot takes the ball and runs with it, answering questions in complete detail, providing follow-up questions, and helping you more quickly solve most any challenge. While this example is unique to SCM challenges, Copilot delivers the exact same rapid fire help for questions about, say, customer buying histories, corporate financial records, audit trails, and more.
