Description

Microsoft Copilot Intermediate: Automate, Structure and Strengthen Your Deliverables

Go beyond summaries and build reliable Copilot-driven workflows on your working data

  • 2 days — 14 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • Intermediate
  • Up to 6 participants

After a few weeks of use, the assistant plateaus. It produces good summaries but nothing structured. Complex requests return unstable results from one attempt to the next. The tool saves minutes where it could make an entire process reliable.

These two days are designed for users already confident with Microsoft Copilot. You will build multi-step requests and make them repeatable. You will use Copilot in Excel to analyse a dataset. You will produce cross-checked deliverables drawn from several internal sources. Finally, you will design a dedicated assistant with Copilot Studio and set clear usage rules for your team.

Learning objectives

  • Analyse a dataset in Excel with the support of Copilot

  • Define usage and control rules for a team

What makes this programme different

Work carried out on datasets brought by the participants
A dedicated assistant created and tested during the session
A team usage charter drafted collectively at the end of the programme
