Is your organization deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot but struggling to see real results?

Microsoft MVP and Copilot Architect with Edyta Gorzoń joins host Mirko to share real-world lessons from the field, covering everything from change management to measurable business outcomes. 🚀

Implementing AI is about much more than just handing out licenses. We discuss why companies often see a drop in usage after initial training and how to use the ADKAR model to build long-term habits. Editha explains the critical balance between technical governance and cultural change, ensuring your data is secure while your people feel empowered rather than replaced. 💡

Key topics include identifying Copilot champions, engaging leadership through ROI-focused communication, and moving from generic tutorials to scenario-oriented workshops. Whether you are an IT professional or a business leader, this episode provides a practical roadmap for transforming the way your team works with AI. 🛠️
