ADOPTION
12 pieces tagged adoption.
01
The rollout is not the project
Assigning licences is the starting gun, not the finish line. The organisation, not the individual user, decides whether Copilot lands.
02
Teaching a moving target
Course-shaped training assumes the product stands still. It does not. Teach tasks and judgement, and treat the screenshots as perishable stock.
03
Stop demoing in a clean tenant
A demo tenant has tidy permissions and a dozen documents. The gap between that and the customer's tenant is the whole of the work.
04
The question I ask first
The opening question in an adoption workshop should have nothing to do with AI. Mine is: what work here gets done twice?
05
The pilot that proves nothing
A pilot that cannot produce a no is not a pilot. Hold a group back, agree the question first, then measure.
06
Measuring Copilot without lying about it
The dashboards report activity, the board asked about value, and honest measurement starts with saying which of the two you have.
07
Why champions networks go quiet
Champions go quiet at about three months because they were given a title, no time, and no route to anyone who can fix things.
08
Your Copilot answers are bad and it isn't the model
Nearly every poor Copilot answer traces to the wrong product, a control someone applied, or content nobody owns, not to the model.
09
What Copilot does to meetings
Recaps changed attendance and the meeting record before any organisation decided they should, and both changes need a deliberate answer.
10
Change management for a product with no launch date
Classic change management assumes a go-live, Copilot has a release cadence instead, and the launch plan has to become a standing service.
11
Buying help: what good looks like
The test of a Copilot engagement is what your organisation can do afterwards without the supplier, and several of the standard deliverables fail it.
12
A recap is not a decision log
A recap records what was said. If nobody said the decision out loud, with an owner and a date, it is not in there.
Every factual claim links to its source. Where I have changed my mind or got something wrong, the correction stays on the page.
