🎙️ What You Will Learn:

When Copilot went down for half a day, Bo Fischer Carlsen realized just how deeply embedded AI had become in his daily workflow. In this episode, Bo—an AI strategist from Copenhagen—shares how he’s helping organizations move beyond the hype and into real-world implementation of Microsoft Copilot. From compliance challenges to training programs and maturity assessments, Bo offers a practical roadmap for integrating AI into business operations. Whether you’re just starting with generative AI or scaling across departments, this conversation is packed with insights you won’t find in a product demo.

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS
✅ Copilot is becoming indispensable: Bo shares how Copilot is quietly becoming as essential as Outlook or Teams for productivity—especially once users realize how much they rely on it.
✅ Training is critical for adoption: Successful AI integration starts with tailored training, beginning with Copilot Chat to build foundational understanding before moving into apps like Word and PowerPoint.
✅ Compliance is a major blocker: Many organizations lack the data governance needed to safely deploy AI tools. Bo emphasizes the importance of preparing legal and compliance teams early.
✅ Maturity assessments drive success: Bo uses multi-level assessments—individual, departmental, and organizational—to tailor AI rollouts and avoid one-size-fits-all approaches.
✅ Expectation management matters: Users often expect Copilot to do everything. Bo advises setting realistic expectations, especially around what Copilot can and can’t do in tools like PowerPoint.
