The +ai Mindset Intensive

You bought Copilot.
Now what?

The licences are paid for and the Copilot icon is sitting in every app. Some of your people are trying it, some are pasting things into other AI tools, and some have not clicked it yet. Nobody wants to be the one who asks what it actually does.

The +ai Mindset Intensive gives your team one full day to stop wondering and start working with it. Copilot is remarkably good at seeing patterns. Your people know what matters to your organization and the people you serve. This day shows them how to combine the power of them both.

Successful AI can never go faster than the speed of trust. So we build the trust first, then the speed.

Who this is for

Intact teams of 12 to 25 people, in organizations that have already deployed Microsoft 365 Copilot and want their people using it well.

Every participant needs a Microsoft 365 Copilot Business licence with full access to their own team files, and a working knowledge of Teams and the Microsoft 365 tools their role uses. This day teaches Copilot inside those tools. It is not the place to learn the tools themselves.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the day, your team will be able to:

• Use Copilot inside Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel and PowerPoint
• Carry one piece of work from an email thread to a finished deck, with each app building on the last
• Check AI work every time
• Decide when to bring Copilot into a piece of work, and clarify the decisions where their own judgment matters most

This Intensive is built on shared practice material, not department files. Looking for training built around a specific department? Let us know. We are happy to see what that could look like.

Using another AI tool? If your team also works in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and you would like it woven into the day, reach out, and we will scope it with you.

How it works

One piece of work, carried all the way through.

Your team starts with an email thread in Outlook, finds and unpacks a report with Copilot Chat in Teams, turns it into a one page summary in Word, pulls the evidence into Excel and builds a chart, then finishes with a short deck in PowerPoint. Each step builds on the one before it. We call it features build flow.

The whole day happens inside your own Teams. Throughout the day, we will be posting messages and sharing emails in the real tools your people use every day.

This is training built for adult learners. Less talking at people, more doing with them:

• Two facilitators in the room
• Short demos, then real hands on time. When the music comes on, we stop talking and you start working. Curt picks the music. We apologize in advance
• Lots of facilitated conversation
• Reflection on your own, at tables of four and as a whole room
• A private reflection chat that runs all day, so the learning stays with each person
• A prompt page built for the day, with a copy button on every prompt to save time on timing so learners can focus on learning

Smooth tech, great learning

This is a deeply connected technological and pedagogical course. Making sure the technology enhances the learning, and never gets in its way, is mission-critical. Three weeks before your day, we work with your IT team to test licences, connections and every exercise in your environment. Want to know the technical requirements? Book a time.
