Figuring out who needs a co-pilot
How to make Co-Pilot cost-effective is to figure out which workers will gain the most from it.
Co-Pilot has a lot of advanced features that not everyone in your company may need. This is
how you can make your choice:
Make Business Use Cases: To begin, make a list of the specific jobs and processes that Co-
Pilot can help your company do more efficiently. Among other things, this could include
writing emails and papers, analyzing data in Excel, and making presentations in PowerPoint.
Check Out Employee jobs: Take a look at the jobs in your company and see which ones have
tasks that Co-Pilot can help with. For instance, marketing teams might like how quickly it can
create content, and sales teams might use how well it can analyze data to make better sales
reports.
Assessment of Productivity Gains: Think about how Co-Pilot might help different jobs save
time and get more done. If a tool makes a certain job much easier and faster, it might be
worth the money.
Pilot Program: Get a small group of people from different areas to use a pilot program. Keep
an eye on how they use it, get feedback, and figure out how it affects their work quality and
productivity.
Feedback and Changes: Make smart choices about wider application based on the feedback
from the pilot program. You may find that some roles gain more than others, which will help
you better distribute licenses.
Using strategy to get the best return on investment
Once you’ve found the right people in your company to be Co-Pilots, it’s important to make
sure they know how to use it correctly. Here are some ideas:
Training Sessions: Set up training sessions for some workers to learn about Co-Pilot’s
features and functions.
Share your best ideas: Encourage workers to share any useful information they find while
using Co-Pilot. This will help create an environment where people can work together to
learn.
Check-Ins: Set up regular check-ins to see how the tool is being used and how it’s changing
the way work gets done.
