Rolling Out Microsoft Copilot: What It Really Takes to Get Results

In this episode of Minerva Meets, I sit down with Rachael Narel, Ph.D., CISA, Employee Engagement and Productivity Practice Manager at Interlink Cloud Advisors.

Together, we move beyond the Microsoft Copilot hype and focus on how to roll it out successfully and turn AI potential into everyday productivity.

We dive into the essentials like data quality, security and access controls, change management, and AI literacy. Rachael shares how organizations can prepare both their technology and their people, why Copilot isn’t plug-and-play, and what steps truly drive adoption across teams.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Why Copilot success depends on people, process, and technology, not just licenses
✅ How to prepare your data and governance structure for AI-powered work
✅ The change management practices that help users adopt Copilot with confidence
✅ Practical use cases that save time across HR, marketing, sales, and project management

PTO Prompt:

The table should look like this: Type (Mail /Teams /Channel) | Date |Topic | Summarization | Action item | Follow-up. If I have been directly mentioned, make the font of the topic bold.
