Desk openMicrosoft 365 CopilotSwitched on for the people it pays for, permissions checked first, measured after a month.
£24 a user a month
Copilot for the people it pays for. Not for everyone.
Slide who is in the office. The right-hand side is who should have it, what it costs and what the hours are worth. Buying it for everyone is the most common mistake we undo.
Who is in the office
12people who should have Copilot: the writers and the meeting people. Not the other 10.
£288a month from Microsoft for those licences, £24 each
£1,100a month the time they get back is worth, at £25 an hour
Buying it for everyone would cost £528 a month and most of it would sit unused. We switch it on for the 12, measure for a month, and move it if we were wrong.
What switching it on properly means
Four things Microsoft does not do for you.
The right people, not everyoneLicences go to the roles where it saves hours; the rest are measured first
Permissions checked firstCopilot can see everything a user can see; we tidy SharePoint before anyone asks it a question
A one-hour session per teamPrompts that work for their job, and the three things not to trust it with

The meeting catch-upThe thing people miss most when it is turned off
Copilot is good at the boring half of office work
Catching up on a thread, the first draft of a reply, minutes from a Teams call, a formula you cannot remember. It is not good at knowing whether your numbers are right, and it sees everything the user can see. Both facts decide who gets it.
