In every company there are people who already try out more with Copilot than everyone else. The AI Champions program turns them into the point of contact for AI in their departments: they answer questions within the team, build simple agents themselves, and know which data is allowed in Copilot. Three sessions over three months, for groups of four to twelve people.
After rolling out Copilot, there is often exactly one person who really knows their way around. Everyone else asks them, and there's no time left to grow it further.
A Champion stays in their department and keeps doing their job. On top comes the role of point of contact for AI, and for that they learn the following in the program.
Most everyday questions are small: which prompt, which file, why the answer is off. Champions clear them up on the spot, in the department's own language. Only what needs a decision reaches the AI manager.
Impact Fewer follow-up questions to a single personAt the second session, each person builds a small agent in Copilot Studio or a flow in Power Automate, for a task from their own area. As an example, we bring an agent we built for a medical device supplier. It answers questions about items and stock levels. The Champions start smaller, but the pattern is the same.
Impact First automations coming from the departmentWhen someone complains about an annoying routine task, the Champion writes it down. Using a simple grid of benefit, effort, and data situation, they do a first sort before the idea reaches the AI manager or management. Larger projects go to IT or a service provider with this groundwork already done.
Impact A maintained list instead of hallway requestsHardly anyone reads a policy on the intranet to the end. Champions know it and explain, using concrete cases, which data is allowed in Copilot and what needs approval first. Where a rule doesn't work in practice, they report it back.
Impact Someone on the team who explains the rulesAt the third session, each person plans how they will pass on what they've learned: ten minutes in the team meeting, or a short guide for the most common case. That way the knowledge stays in the company long after the program is over.
Impact AI competence spreading through the departmentFor basic training for all employees and for larger build projects, there are dedicated services. These three fit well alongside it.
Everyone who works with AI needs the basics, not just the Champions. The AI training for employees brings the workforce to a common level, after which the Champions catch the everyday questions.
If Copilot licenses have been bought and are barely used, Copilot enablement starts with the individual departments. Trained Champions are the first point of contact in their department.
Sometimes an idea from a department is too big for a Champion, for example because several systems need to be connected. Then we build the agent as a project, and the Champion contributes the knowledge from their department.
Three full-day sessions about four weeks apart, at a fixed price depending on group size. Between sessions, the Champions put what they've learned into practice in their department.
We clarify with you who takes part, which tools are in place, and which AI rules already apply. After that, the three sessions are scheduled.
What Copilot, agents, and flows can do and where their limits are, practiced with examples from your company. Plus the role itself: what a Champion takes on and what they hand off, and to whom.
Each person brings a task from their own area and builds an agent or flow for it. We help wherever it gets stuck, but the Champions keep their hands on the mouse.
We look at what has been running in the company since day 2, and discuss approvals, data protection, and the AI policy. Finally, each person plans how they will pass their knowledge on to their department.
The price applies to the whole group and all three sessions, regardless of how many people actually take part. If the booked tier is fully occupied, that works out to €725 to €750 net per person.
All prices net, plus travel costs and expenses for on-site sessions. No hidden hours. Free intro call
AI Sparring supports one individual person on an ongoing basis, with one or two days a month. It fits well alongside the Champions program if you want to talk through your Champions' questions and your own decisions with someone.
In the free intro call, we clarify in 30 minutes how big the group should be and which departments should be involved. It's non-binding, and if training for everyone is the better fit, we'll tell you.
€3,000 net for up to four people, €6,000 for up to eight, and €8,700 for up to twelve, each for all three days. You pay per group, not per head. At full capacity for the booked tier, that works out to €725 to €750 per person. The intro call is free. If a session takes place at your premises, travel costs and expenses are added, which we'll tell you in advance.
People from the departments who are curious about AI and are already asked by colleagues anyway. They don't need an IT background. It makes sense to have one person per department, and the manager should give them time for the role between sessions.
The sessions run remotely via Teams with a shared screen, including the second one, where building happens. If you need a session at your premises, we'll come on-site. Then travel costs and expenses apply, which we'll tell you in advance.
No. Anyone who confidently uses Outlook, Teams, and Excel can keep up. For the second session, participants need access to the tools used for building, for example Copilot Studio or Power Automate. Which access and licenses that means for you, we clarify in the intro call.
It is a documentable contribution to it. Art. 4 requires companies to make their best effort to ensure sufficient AI competence among the people who work with AI. This is a best-efforts obligation; the regulation doesn't set a separate fine for this article. With participants, sessions, and program content, you can show what you've done for it.
AI Sparring supports one person on an ongoing basis, month by month, cancellable monthly. The AI Champions program trains a group of four to twelve people in three fixed sessions and ends after three months. Both can be combined: the person responsible for AI in Sparring, the Champions in the program.
