Transforming Communications With Copilot For Microsoft 365
Microsoft News, Wednesday, December 6,2023
At Microsoft, we've asked our communications team to be innovators of AI. To explore and experiment with how we can all use it in our everyday work. We've urged the team not to forget their unique expertise and value - the art of communications - but to welcome some science into the process, to be a leader in this new stage of communications.
So, for the last few months we've been experimenting with Copilot for Microsoft 365, which is now generally available for enterprises. We're using Copilot in Teams to story mine with spokespeople and anticipate coverage after interviews. We're using Copilot in Word to start blogs and draft plans. We're using chat to test messages, brainstorm and expand our thinking. And Copilot in PowerPoint is helping us create decks that drive clarity and communicate our vision.
We've been feeling the impact in our day-to-day but wanted to quantify it - so we did a bit of research ourselves. Using the same methodology featured in our latest Work Trend Index, we surveyed 80 people from our comms and marketing organization and found that- like most knowledge workers -many employees suffer from meeting (70%) and information overload (86%) daily, so it's not surprising that 80% struggle with having enough focus time each day.
