AI Consulting · Copilot Adoption

Copilot licenses only work once your team knows what to use them for in everyday work.

The license is paid, the button is visible in Word and Teams, and yet usage stalls at a handful of curious users. Copilot Enablement is the work in between: defining use cases per department, straightening out data landscape and permissions beforehand, and letting your team practice in a Copilot training session or Copilot workshop on real documents. We don't sell you software, we put the software you already have into operation.

The Problem

The Copilot licenses are running, usage isn't.

The Microsoft 365 admin center shows a high number of assigned licenses and a low number of active users. The technology works; what's missing is the occasion to use Copilot in daily work.

  • 01The usage report in the admin center shows many activated but few active users, and nobody knows why.
  • 02After two weeks of trying it out, the team falls back into old habits because Copilot has no fixed place in the workflow.
  • 03Copilot answers thinly or incorrectly because company knowledge sits unstructured in SharePoint and mailboxes and can't be found.
  • 04At the same time, there's concern that Copilot will surface documents that were shared far too broadly through old permissions.
Use Cases
01

Copilot training and adoption: what we actually do.

Enablement is craft, not a lecture. These five building blocks make up a Copilot project with us.

01

Measure usage before we train

The Copilot readiness and usage report in the Microsoft 365 admin center shows activated users, active users, and the resulting usage rate per app. The Copilot Dashboard in Viva Insights adds adoption trends over time; it's available to tenants with active Exchange Online and requires no separate Viva license. We read these numbers with you instead of speculating about adoption.

Impact Usage becomes measurable instead of guessed
02

Define use cases per department

Sales, accounting, and management need different Copilot routines: drafting proposals from existing documents, summarizing long email threads, preparing for client meetings. We write down three to five cases per department that come up daily, and leave out the rest.

Impact A concrete occasion instead of a feature tour
03

Training in small groups on real documents

Training happens on the proposals, minutes, and emails that are actually on the table, not on demo data. Participants get ready-made prompt patterns for their own cases and try them out directly in the session. Two to three blocks of 60 to 90 minutes per team are usually enough to get started.

Savings 2–4 h per week and person on writing tasks
04

Straighten out data landscape and permissions

Copilot answers based on existing permissions, which makes visible what was shared too broadly over the years. We check permissions in SharePoint and OneDrive, clean up organization-wide links, and use sensitivity labels in Microsoft Purview and restricted content search in SharePoint where needed. The technical prerequisites are part of this too: mailbox in Exchange Online and a current update channel for the Office apps.

Impact No oversharing through the back door
05

Name champions and anchor routines

In each department, one person takes on the role of Copilot contact and collects what works. After four to six weeks, we look at the usage reports together and sharpen the use cases. That way usage stays in place after the training instead of fading after two weeks.

Solution Paths

Copilot Enablement deliberately draws boundaries.

This page covers enabling your team. Product, knowledge base, and governance have their own paths.

Product
Microsoft Copilot as a tool

What Microsoft 365 Copilot can do, which license is required, and how it works in Word, Outlook, and Teams is on the product page. If you're still deciding whether to buy, that's the right place to start.

Knowledge
When Copilot can't find your knowledge

Sometimes the problem isn't training, it's the filing system: knowledge sits in PDF folders, legacy systems, and people's heads. Then a dedicated AI knowledge assistant on your documents is the more effective path than more Copilot sessions.

Governance
Rules before usage scales

Who's allowed to put which data into Copilot, what gets logged, which cases stay with a human. These guardrails belong in a short AI policy your team actually reads, and are part of our AI consulting.

Licenses

Questions about Copilot licenses?

Who needs Copilot Business, who is fine with Copilot Chat, and what does it cost per month? We work it out with you and, if you like, provide the licenses directly as a Microsoft CSP partner.

How We Work

The 30-day model.

From the first conversation to trained teams with fixed routines, 30 days pass, at a fixed price instead of open-ended hourly billing.

1

Free initial call

In 30 minutes we look at your license situation, the usage numbers from the admin center, and the departments where the leverage is greatest. Afterward you know whether enablement is even the right approach for you.

2

Use cases and data check

We collect the recurring tasks per department and check permissions in SharePoint and OneDrive in parallel. Whatever is shared too broadly gets restricted before training, not after.

3

Training and pilot group

Two to three blocks per team on real documents, plus a pilot group that tries things out in daily work between sessions and gives feedback. The prompt patterns that stay in-house come out of this feedback.

4

Sharpening and handover

After four to six weeks we read the usage reports together and adjust the use cases. You keep control: the in-house champions carry the topic forward themselves afterward, no ongoing support obligation is created.

Pricing
03

Guided over four weeks, one intensive day at your site, or your own AI multipliers?

The three formats differ in what results at the end, not just in group size: a structured Copilot rollout, a team that uses AI daily, or in-house points of contact.

Frequently Asked Questions
05

What decision-makers often ask about Copilot training.

How much does a Copilot training cost?

€1,000 net for one training day on site for up to 4 people, €2,000 for up to 8 people and €2,900 for up to 12 people. If the entire workforce is to be supported remotely over four weeks, the Copilot start is available at a fixed price of €1,500 net, regardless of how many employees take part. For the on-site day, travel costs and expenses apply, which we will tell you about in advance.

How long does a Copilot training take and how is it structured?

To get started, experience shows that two to three blocks of 60 to 90 minutes per team are sufficient, spread over several weeks rather than bundled into one day. Between sessions, the group tries things out in day-to-day work, and in the next block we work on whatever has got stuck. Training is based on your real offers, minutes and emails, not on demo data. Afterwards, each department has three to five use cases with ready-made prompt patterns.

Which license is required for Microsoft 365 Copilot?

Microsoft 365 Copilot is an add-on license and requires an eligible Microsoft 365 or Office 365 plan, including Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium, the Enterprise plans E3 and E5, and several Office 365 plans. In addition, users' mailboxes must be in Exchange Online, because Copilot draws on mail and calendar content for its responses. This part does not work with purely on-premises or hybrid mailboxes. These requirements are stated in the Microsoft Learn documentation on the minimum requirements for Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Does everyone on the team really need a Copilot license?

No. Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is available at no additional cost to users with an eligible Microsoft 365 or Office 365 plan. The paid Copilot license adds integration into Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams, as well as grounding in your company data. For many businesses it makes sense to start with a small group that writes and researches daily, and to expand only after the first usage figures are in. This staged approach is exactly what we plan in the initial consultation.

How do we see whether Copilot is actually being used in the company?

The Microsoft 365 admin center provides a readiness report and a usage report for Copilot under Reports, showing enabled users, active users and the resulting usage rate per app. In addition, the Copilot Dashboard in Viva Insights shows adoption over time. It is available for tenants with active Exchange Online and does not require a separate Viva license. These figures are the basis for deciding whether we need to refine the rollout or reallocate licenses. Without them, any statement about adoption is pure guesswork.

Does Copilot show documents that not everyone is allowed to see?

Copilot respects existing permissions and never shows anyone anything they would not already have access to. The real risk is older sprawl: organization-wide sharing links and files that were shared too broadly years ago suddenly become easy to find through Copilot. That is why we review the sharing settings in SharePoint and OneDrive before training and restrict critical areas, for example through sensitivity labels in Microsoft Purview or restricted content search in SharePoint. You remain in control of which repositories Copilot may draw on at all.
