Copilot – a game changer
We observe Leadership Day on 20th February every year with the aim of promoting and celebrating the values of leadership. When we talk about successful leaders, the most important aspect is growth – for yourself, your productivity, your workers and your company, but in order to grow, IT leaders must embrace and influence change.
For example, AI has been creating a lot of buzz since its arrival into the tech space. Faced with a mixed reception – either received with enthusiasm or scepticism – one thing is clear, keeping up with these latest developments is what separates you as a leader who is confident to introduce fresh, innovative ways of working that improve efficiency, from those lacking insight.
Enter Microsoft 365 Copilot, a game-changing tool that can turn your ideas into a powerful productivity tool.
Copilot and AI is going to be everywhere (not just in Microsoft 365) and we see enormous potential for Copilot to transform productivity and give a competitive advantage to businesses who learn how best to harness its power. Hearing this, many organisations are going to jump in without thinking how to take advantage of it.
That’s a mistake.
Despite all the fancy bells and whistles that come with it, IT leaders will need to understand the scope of a large set of new features and figure out what makes sense for their business. Will it be a useful resource for your workers? Where are the gaps in your business where you can optimise Copilot? The risk is to blindly trust AI without first understanding what you want to achieve with it and the shape of your implementation plan.
It’s one of the reasons that we encourage everyone to reach out to Managed Service Providers; to leverage their specific skills with Copilot deployment. You don’t want to have your roll-out run into issues and be stuck waiting months. Leverage your IT partner to help put you on track, ensure you optimise the opportunity, time and your team. If Copilot is going to help you succeed against your competitors, every minute in that race counts.
The best way to see solid results is to simply engage Espria – our deployment offering is designed to speed up your adoption and focus on the real-world benefits you can implement as quickly as possible.

A study by BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, found that most teachers are reluctant to use AI for pupil learning with 84% of educators not changing the way they assess their students’ work. This comes after Ofsted recently launched an independent review on the use of AI in schools and how to develop the understanding of…
