Beyond the Hype: Practical Use Cases for Microsoft 365 Copilot in Your Business for everyday - based on my customer's experiences

Overview:

This intermediate webinar delivers battle-tested M365 Copilot use cases from real customer deployments across industries-not theoretical demos. Learn which specific prompts and workflows succeed in sales, customer service, HR, finance, legal, and operations; which use cases employees adopt enthusiastically versus need change management; and how to measure real impact. Discover concrete implementation patterns, exact working prompts, role-specific strategies, and realistic ROI from actual customer data. Address common failures, learn workarounds, and gain frameworks for identifying high-value use cases. Leave with proven applications to pilot immediately, adoption playbooks, and assessment criteria for your environment.

Why you should Attend:

Your Copilot investment is bleeding money while 70-80% of licenses sit unused. Employees don't know what to do beyond "make my email nicer." Executives tried it once, got generic responses, and returned to old workflows. IT deployed enterprise-wide without identifying use cases-now you can't justify renewal costs. Meanwhile, competitors identified 15-20 role-specific scenarios pre-deployment (customer service 40% faster, sales proposals in half the time, HR compliance automated) and they're documenting ROI while you scramble for board success stories. At renewal, finance will demand justification for $400K+ annual spend. You'll have vague "innovation" claims while employees remember "that AI thing that never helped me" and resist future initiatives. The question isn't whether Copilot delivers value-it's whether you'll learn which use cases work before budget disappears.
