Copilot at Work: A Practical Guide to Everyday Productivity with Microsoft 365 Copilot (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798192553442)

Your team already pays for Microsoft 365 Copilot. Most organizations still aren't getting their money's worth from it.

Copilot at Work is a practical, no-hype manual for turning Microsoft 365 Copilot into a real daily productivity gain across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and Power Automate - not just a feature nobody uses after the first month.

Inside, you'll find:

QUICK IMPLEMENTATION - A 30-60-90 day rollout plan covering licensing, pilot group selection, role-based training, and change management, so your launch avoids the two mistakes that sink most rollouts: licensing everyone on day one, and skipping the content clean-up that determines whether Copilot's answers are actually useful.

SECURITY & GUARDRAILS - A complete security assessment checklist covering identity, data oversharing, sensitivity labels, DLP policies, and audit logging, plus industry-specific guidance for financial services, healthcare, legal, and public sector organizations, and a clear incident-response process for when Copilot surfaces something it shouldn't.

48+ REAL USE CASES - At least eight ready-to-use scenarios for each of the six core Microsoft 365 apps, every one including a sample prompt and a realistic daily time-savings estimate: drafting and summarizing in Word, deck-building in PowerPoint, formula and data work in Excel, meeting recaps and channel catch-up in Teams (plus a dedicated section on how Teams itself governs and administers Copilot in meetings), inbox triage in Outlook, and workflow automation in Power Automate.

DEPARTMENT PLAYBOOKS - Curated scenario bundles for Finance, HR, Sales, Marketing, Legal, and IT, so you can hand a relevant one-page starting point to each team instead of pointing everyone at the whole book.

PROMPTING, HABITS, AND ROI - A framework for writing better prompts, a simple daily routine that compounds into real time savings, and a measurement approach for proving the business case to leadership with an actual before-and-after baseline instead of guesswork.

PLUS: illustrative case studies across four industries, role-based guidance for executives through new hires, a glossary, a quick-reference prompt library, and sample templates - an acceptable-use policy, a kickoff email, a pilot feedback survey, and a champion role description - ready to adapt for your own organization.

Whether you're an IT leader planning a rollout, a manager trying to get more from a tool your company already bought, or an employee who wants their inbox and to-do list to feel smaller by Friday, this book gives you the checklists, prompts, and playbooks to make that happen - without creating security exposure along the way.

Copilot doesn't replace your job. It removes the repetitive parts of it. This book shows you exactly how.
