Microsoft has made the most significant changes to Copilot since its launch, and they signal a fundamental shift in how AI will operate inside organisations.
Copilot is no longer just a prompt-and-respond assistant. The new Copilot Cowork can take action on your behalf, running complete end-to-end pieces of work autonomously, generating research, reports, analysis, and finished outputs across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. This moves AI from a productivity tool to a digital colleague.
This completely reshapes what’s possible with AI in the workplace, but what does this actually mean for your organisation? What do you need to understand to get the most value from this new capability?
Join us for this session where Lisa Crosbie will unpack Copilot Cowork and help you identify where the real opportunities are:
- What Cowork is, how it works, and why it matters
- Where the strongest business value opportunities are, and which use cases to prioritize
- What these capabilities look like in practice, not just on a keynote stage
- How to connect what’s coming to the outcomes your organization cares about
You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what’s changed, what it means for your organisation, and how to turn these announcements into real business value.
