This two-day programme is built for organisations that have put Microsoft Copilot and Claude on their employees' desks and now need those employees to use them well. Most of the working day runs through the same tools: the inbox, documents, spreadsheets, meetings and presentations in Microsoft 365, and the longer written work of procedures, policies, reports and research. The programme is practical and business-focused throughout: every concept is applied at once to participants' own tasks, in the environment they already work in, with techniques that transfer across AI tools.
Day one builds AI fluency from the ground up: what generative AI is, what it does well, where it fails, and how to prompt it with the C.L.E.A.R. framework and K-shot prompting. Participants then work hands-on with Microsoft Copilot across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams on writing, research, analysis, meetings, reporting and presentations, and with Claude on standard operating procedures, policy drafts, reports and research summaries. Day two moves from using AI to directing it: participants are introduced to AI agents in Claude and in the Microsoft ecosystem, build and test an agent skill on one real workflow, configure a simple workflow agent in Microsoft Copilot Studio, work through governance and responsible use in a corporate environment, and close by identifying, scoring and prioritising AI use cases in their own functions.
All exercises run on participants' own work scenarios. For private cohorts, a short pre-course input on licence types and typical internal workflows is used ahead of delivery to shape the exercises around real internal processes. Participants leave with a personal prompt library, working Copilot and Claude routines, a tested agent skill, a first configured agent and a 90-day action plan. The programme finishes with advanced concepts such as: agentic workflows, context engineering, retrieval-augmented generation and the Model Context Protocol.
