Copilot Champions and Adoption Mentorship
A three, six, or twelve-month mentorship for your internal Copilot Adoption Lead and adoption squad. Build skills, run playbooks, achieve measurable usage uplift.
What You Get
A Ready-to-Run Adoption Plan
Playbook, champions kit, 90-day rollout plan, and reinforcement templates.
A Champions Network
Your adoption squad meets regularly, shares wins, and accelerates peer learning.
Usage Uplift Plus Impact Story
Measurable adoption growth and a credible business impact narrative.
Why Adoption Stalls
Copilot rollout is live, but adoption plateaus. Teams know Copilot exists but do not use it consistently. You have pockets of enthusiasts but no systemic adoption culture.
The bottleneck is rarely technology. It is usually: no clear adoption lead, no structured playbook, and no regular reinforcement. Without mentorship and structure, adoption stalls at 20–30% utilisation.
Built for the Internal Copilot Adoption Lead
This engagement is designed for someone in your organisation who owns adoption (full-time or as a key part of their role). They might be called: Copilot Lead, Adoption Manager, Digital Transformation Lead, or Change Manager.
They have 2–5 people on their adoption squad (champions from different departments). We mentor the lead and squad together, building capability and momentum.
The lead becomes the expert voice in your organisation, running playbooks, managing the champions network, and tracking adoption progress.

What We Need to Start Well
Frequently Asked Questions
What if we do not have a dedicated Adoption Lead yet?
We can help you identify and develop someone internally. This might be someone with change management, digital transformation, or IT ops experience. We will mentor them into the role.
How much time does the Adoption Lead need to dedicate?
For the first three months, expect 50–70% of their time. As adoption builds momentum and the playbook becomes routine, this can decrease to 30–40%.
Can the adoption squad be remote or distributed?
Yes. Fortnightly squad sessions run virtually, and many organisations have distributed champions. We will adapt the cadence to suit your geography.
What metrics do we track?
Monthly active users, adoption rate by department, feature usage (chat, insights, plugins), time to first use, and business impact (time saved, quality improvements).
How is this different from a one-day workshop?
A workshop is a one-off learning event. Mentorship is sustained coaching over months, building organisational muscle memory and embedding adoption into your culture.
Can you help with training delivery too?
We focus on adoption strategy, playbooks, and mentorship. For training delivery, we can recommend partners or work with your internal L&D team.
What if adoption hits a plateau?
We adjust the playbook, run fresh engagement campaigns, and dive deeper into department-specific barriers. This is exactly what monthly reviews are for.
Do you provide content (emails, comms, posters)?
Yes. The Champions Kit includes templates for email campaigns, posters, and success stories. Your squad customises and deploys them.
Can we extend beyond 12 months?
Absolutely. Once you have built internal expertise, the engagement can shift to quarterly check-ins or ad-hoc coaching as needed.
