What you’ll experience on the day.
Microsoft gives businesses a 30-day plan for getting Copilot to stick: four weeks, four themes, one habit at a time. At Ignite we run that whole journey live, in one half day, with your leadership team in the room.

- Four sessionsPlus a plan to take home
30 days
A trial group works through one theme a week, while someone tracks usage and hopes the habits stick.
One half day
You see every theme working on real tasks, decide where it fits your business, and leave knowing exactly how to run your first 30 days.
Four sessions, one clear plan.
Each session is one week of the 30-day plan, shown live on the kind of work your teams do every day. Our examples come from professional services; we shape them to the businesses in the room.

Before we start
Set up to succeed
What has to be in place before anyone opens Copilot: the right first users, the handful of settings that make day one work (web search, Copilot Chat pinned where people work, Teams transcription), a place for questions and wins, and a partner to switch it all on with you.
You’ll leave knowing who your first users should be and what to switch on first.

Session four
Automate repetitive work
Spot the tasks that come round again and again, and see how research, deeper analysis and multi-step jobs can be handed to agents.

Your first 30 days
We turn the morning into your plan: which users to start with, how you’ll measure progress in Copilot Analytics, when you’ll share results with leadership, and when to decide on a wider rollout. Plus the readiness questions to settle first: security, permissions and data.
You’ll leave with a practical 30-day plan, and a clear view of whether Copilot is worth rolling out further.
Not notes. A plan you can run on Monday.
Everything from the day is built around the decision you have to make next, so nothing is left as inspiration on a slide.
- Your first usersWho gets Copilot first, and why they’ll get the most from it.
- The setup checklistThe settings, licences and support channel to have ready before day one.
- Four use casesInbox, meetings, creating and automating, matched to your own teams’ work.
- How you’ll measure itWhat to track week by week, and what “working” looks like at day 30.
- Your readiness gapsThe security, permissions and data questions to settle before a wider rollout.
- A defined next stepIf you want to go further: Elevate for leaders, then Expand for the whole team.
See it live, then run it.
Join Daniel and Michael for half a day, see Copilot do the work your teams do, and leave with your first 30 days planned.
