Maximising Microsoft Copilot for Local Authorities

Session Summary:

As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting local authorities and the wider public sector on their GenAI journey, we’ve identified that Microsoft Copilot is often underutilised or misunderstood. This 2-hour remote masterclass will help your council make the best of the tool already available. Led by Heather Murray or Nick Crawford from AI for Non Techies, this session is designed so you’ll walk away not just with awareness but with practical know-how, able to use Copilot confidently, understand where it adds the most value (and where it might not), and ready to help your service or team adopt it.

Learn how to use Microsoft Copilot’s full set of tools – including the new agents and deeper app-integration – to boost your productivity, streamline how you work and embed AI into your team’s workflows. Perfect for public sector employees who have been issued a full M365 licence, but still very useful if you’re using the Chat version of Copilot and want to get more value from it.

Recommended Audience:

This session is ideal for anyone in a council or public-sector organisation who has been asked to explore, pilot, or champion Copilot in their day-to-day work. Whether you’re supporting a service area, helping colleagues adopt new tools, or simply one of the early users testing what Copilot can do, this masterclass will give you the confidence and practical skills you need.

It’s particularly valuable for:

• Colleagues in HR, L&D, OD, Digital, IT or Transformation teams
• Service managers and team leaders introducing Copilot into everyday workflows
• Change champions, super-users and early adopters
• Anyone curious about how Copilot can improve their own work — regardless of role or technical background
