In this hands-on masterclass of one day you will learn to use Copilot smartly in Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Teams, with your own cases. In-company, for 6 to 12 participants.

Do you recognise this?

It is Monday morning and you open Outlook. Dozens of unread emails, a report that still needs to be rewritten, and an Excel file you have been stuck on for an hour. In the corner of your screen is the Copilot icon, which you have clicked on before.

You typed something in, got a general answer and went back to the old way. It feels like you have a tool of which you are not using half.

Every day you struggle with an overflowing inbox, messy documents, endless meeting notes and cluttered Excel files. You know: with AI this must be faster. Perhaps you recognise this:

  • you have clicked the Copilot icon before, but do not really know what use it is to you;
  • you do use other AI tools, but hardly Copilot;
  • you want to work smarter, but your workflow has not been adapted yet;
  • you still lose time on repetitive tasks;
  • you do not know which prompts work for your context.

Without knowledge of how to use Copilot smartly, it remains a matter of frustration and missed opportunities.

Why does Copilot remain a button you hardly use?

Copilot is already in the applications you open every day, but without knowing what you can ask of it, it remains a one-off attempt. A general question gives a general answer, and then the effort does not seem worth it.

This way you keep putting time into repetitive tasks. Emails, notes, reports and datasets remain in your hands, and you have the feeling that it can be done smarter without knowing how. That is frustrating for someone who likes to deliver good work.

It does not have to stay this way. Using Copilot smartly is a skill you can learn, in the applications you already know.

How do you bring Copilot into your daily work?

You learn to write prompts that work for Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Teams, and you learn to adjust them for a reliable result. That does not require a technical background, but it does require a clear way of asking.

Our coaches know the pressure of a full working day. They work with the Superworker model, which shows step by step how you go from trying things out to consistent results.

In one day you work hands-on with your own documents, emails and projects, with personal guidance. You receive a prompt library and a step-by-step plan to grow further.

What you can do after the training

After the training you can:

  • use Copilot in your familiar Microsoft 365 environment;

  • build presentations from Word documents and notes;
  • summarise meetings and record action points in Teams;
  • follow a step-by-step plan to grow from Level 1 to Level 2 of the Superworker model.

This is how we approach it

For a whole day you get to work hands-on with Microsoft Copilot, with your own cases, documents, emails and projects. This way you learn to actively work with Copilot in an experience-oriented learning environment.

Morning: understanding and mastering the foundations

  • Practical applications: email management in Outlook, reports and documents in Word, data analysis in Excel, presentations in PowerPoint and collaboration in Teams.
  • Hands-on session: you write prompts for your use of Microsoft 365 and receive personal guidance in optimising your workflow.

The Superworker model

The Superworker model shows the shift from working hard to working smartly in levels. This masterclass focuses on Level 1, working effectively with Copilot and getting consistent results, with strategies to grow to Level 2, where you redesign work processes with Copilot as an integral part. For organisations that want to go further towards Level 3 and 4, we offer tailored guidance and advisory trajectories.
