Is Your Business Ready for Copilot?

In this episode, I’m joined by Mike Wilson, CTO at Interlink Cloud Advisors to talk about Microsoft 365 Copilot, what it is, how it works, and why businesses are paying attention. We dive into how Copilot integrates directly into tools like Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams to help users draft emails, summarize meetings, generate reports, and more, all with the help of AI.

Mike brings years of expertise in workflow automation and productivity tech, helping us break down what’s hype versus what’s helpful. We also cover key considerations like licensing and cost, what it takes to roll this out effectively, and why data privacy and security can’t be an afterthought.

If you’re exploring AI for your business, this episode offers practical insight into real use cases, change management strategies, and how tools like Copilot can give you a competitive edge. From implementation tips to employee training, we cover what it really takes to turn AI potential into everyday productivity.

Uber productivity prompt mentioned in the episode:

Copilot, I'd love your help on wrapping up my day and preparing for tomorrow. Please name the first section: Today. Can you please write a short paragraph of my work today and separately list tasks that came from my meetings? Also highlight important things from my email based on your analysis. In the next section named: Your Meetings Tomorrow, can you please help me with an overview of my meetings tomorrow. Create a table and list who organized themeeting and add details of the meeting. Please also show the category you would place that meeting (personal, internal, external or traveling) in and add any important things I need to know about the meeting. Please show me what % oftime I am spending on the different categories in a list. In the last section named: Get Prepared, please write a small summary and brief me on all the important things I need to know to make tomorrow a productive day and please suggest when I should consider taking breaks.
