Copilot Champions - Super User Role In Action Training in Belgium

Successful adoption of Microsoft 365 Copilot depends on more than simply providing access to the technology. Long-term success requires people who can build confidence, encourage collaboration, and support colleagues as AI becomes part of everyday working practices.

This half-day workshop is designed to help Microsoft 365 Copilot Champions become effective super users who can support adoption across their teams and wider organisation.

The workshop does not focus on teaching participants how to use Microsoft 365 Copilot itself. Instead, it concentrates on the Champion role, user support strategies, community engagement, feedback, and continuous improvement.

Participants explore practical approaches for helping colleagues, increasing confidence in Copilot, encouraging engagement, gathering meaningful feedback, and creating an action plan that supports sustainable organisational adoption.

Participants should have:

• An active Microsoft 365 Copilot licence assigned to their account
• Practical experience using Microsoft 365 Copilot within their own area of the business

• An interest in supporting colleagues and encouraging the adoption of new working practices

This workshop is suitable for:

• Newly appointed Microsoft 365 Copilot Champions
• Super users who support colleagues during Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption
• Team leaders and departmental advocates helping embed Copilot into everyday working practices
• Individuals responsible for increasing engagement, gathering feedback, and supporting organisational change

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Explain the responsibilities and expectations associated with the Microsoft 365 Copilot Champion role
• Demonstrate the mindset and behaviours required to support colleagues during adoption
• Identify the support channels, tools, and resources available within their organisation
• Contribute to an active Champion community that encourages knowledge sharing and continuous improvement
