Chapter 40
AI in the Enterprise – a manager's guide
AI in the Enterprise – a manager’s guide
A one-day course for managers that follows the Microsoft 365 Copilot course. The Copilot day was about how I use AI; today is about how we roll it out – strategy, choosing processes, ROI, security and legislation, choosing tools and working with people. More stories and discussion, less clicking (~65 % talk and discussion, ~35 % workshops).
