Is your business ready for Copilot?
Posted: 4th Jul 2025
Microsoft 365 Copilot is changing how teams work. Built into tools like Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams, it helps draft documents, summarise meetings, analyse data and cut down repetitive tasks. But Copilot only delivers value if your business is ready.
Being AI-ready means more than installing software. You need clear communication, staff training, and leadership support. Copilot works best when your people see it as a helper, not a threat.
Your data also needs to be in shape. Files must be stored in SharePoint, not scattered across desktops. Clean, labelled, and accessible data is what makes Copilot accurate and useful.
How you ask Copilot to help matters too. Teaching teams to write better prompts improves results. The more specific the request, the better the outcome.
Looking further ahead, Copilot agents can automate full workflows: scheduling meetings, answering HR questions, generating reports. These tools are already being used in small businesses, enterprises, and schools to save hours of manual work each week.
If you want to get real impact from Copilot, preparation is key. That starts with your people, your data, and your mindset.
