Overview
Every team has a list of small but persistent tasks that consume more time than they should. Data arrives in the wrong format, reports need reformatting before they're usable and repetitive manual processes take hours that could be spent on more valuable work.
This workshop explores practical applications of Microsoft Copilot and artificial intelligence to help participants automate routine tasks, simplify data conversion and create practical solutions to everyday workplace challenges. Through real examples and guided activities, participants will learn how to generate formulas, build simple productivity tools and develop reusable prompts that save genuine time.
Designed as a highly practical, hands-on session, participants will spend much of the workshop applying these techniques to real workplace scenarios, including challenges they bring to the room. Participants will leave with practical artificial intelligence skills, reusable Copilot prompts and working solutions they can implement immediately.
