What is the Copilot Adoption Program?
Buying Microsoft Copilot is one thing; using it effectively is another. With a structured six-week adoption process, we ensure that Copilot becomes an integral part of your teams’ daily operations and delivers lasting value.
From License to Everyday Use
Many organizations already have Copilot licenses, but are seeing limited adoption and impact. We measure current usage, work with specific use cases for each team, and embed Copilot through guidance and coaching.
Encouraged, but not yet firmly established
The use of AI is strongly encouraged and is already yielding benefits, but in many organizations, it remains limited to a few individuals. Our AI Benchmark 2026, a survey of 150 professionals in Belgium and the Netherlands, highlights this gap:
73%
actively promotes the use of AI within the organization.
41%
No one has been explicitly assigned responsibility for AI.
6%
has broadly integrated AI into its processes.
Encouraging usage is not the same as embedding it. Without ownership, champions, and measurement, Copilot will remain limited to a few individuals, even though you’re paying for all the licenses. A Copilot Adoption Program transforms sporadic encouragement into structured, measurable embedding.

Why do you need this?
Buying Copilot is the easy part. Its true value only becomes apparent through daily, effective use. Familiar situations:
- You have Copilot licenses, but usage and impact are lagging behind.
- Employees aren't quite sure how to use Copilot in their own work.
- Introducing new technology means change, and change is difficult.
- The ROI on your Copilot licenses is unclear or nonexistent.
- You want to bring your people along and empower them, not take them by surprise.
What are the benefits?
Teams that start using Copilot quickly experience tangible benefits, not only in terms of efficiency, but also in terms of engagement and autonomy:
- Increased daily use of Copilot.
- Measurable time savings per team.
- Internal champions who act as ambassadors.
- Clear ROI on your Copilot licenses.
- Higher employee satisfaction.
- Teams that can move forward on their own, with Copilot as a constant presence.
Route
Three phases, six weeks
A clearly structured six-week program, divided into three phases:
Phase 1: Kickoff and Baseline
Weeks 1–2. We assess current usage, identify champions within your organization, and set personalized learning goals for each team.
Phase 2: Supervised Practicum
Weeks 3–5. Weekly micro-training sessions, department-specific use cases, and personalized coaching. Your teams will learn how to incorporate Copilot into their own work processes.
Phase 3: Results and Quality Assurance
Week 6. Final assessment, report with concrete results and recommendations. Champions become ambassadors.

Triple I Framework
Three Approaches for Maximizing the Impact of AI
AI impact arises along three strategic axes that are not mutually exclusive. An organization can move along all three at the same time, each at its own pace: a Copilot rollout on the shop floor, an agent experiment in a department, and a custom solution for a specific business process. Our role is to help you move forward along the right axis. Discover the Triple I Framework.
