Weeks 4–6: Engagement Phase

Peer Influence Is
Your Strongest Lever.

No training program, no matter how good, beats peer-to-peer advocacy. We build your internal network of Copilot Champions — and the system to sustain it.

The Network

Building "Copilot Captains"

We recruit and enable a cross-departmental network of Champions who act as early adopters, first-line support, and behavioral models for their peers. No IT background required — we want the people others already trust.

👥

Who They Are

Curious, respected team members from HR, Finance, Operations, and beyond. Not IT staff — real users whose opinion carries weight with their colleagues.

What They Do

Model behavior, share "Wins of the Week" with their teams, surface friction points back to the project team, and serve as the first line of informal support after go-live.

How We Enable Them

Weekly Lunch & Learns, advanced prompting workshops, early feature access, and a formal Champions certification at the end of the Academy — so they leave with a credential, not just a title.

The Journey

From Nomination to Certified Advocate

The Champion journey is structured, not ad hoc. Every stage has a clear purpose, a defined deliverable, and a measurable outcome.

Weeks 3–4

Recruitment

Manager nominations and an organization-wide "Open Call" email. We target curious, respected contributors — not necessarily power users.

Week 4

Champion Kickoff

Welcome session: access setup, role orientation, and a clear answer to "What does being a Champion actually mean day-to-day?"

Week 6

Deep Dive 1 — Outlook & Teams

Advanced prompting strategies for the tools Champions use most. First "Wins of the Week" session launched with their home teams.

Week 9

Deep Dive 2 — Role-Specific Workflows

Champions learn advanced use cases specific to their department. They begin leading peer sessions independently.

Weeks 13–14

Champions Certification

Formal certification assessment. Certified Champions receive a credential, a designation on the internal knowledge base, and recognition at the org-wide launch event.

20%

Higher Adoption Rate

In teams with an active internal Copilot Champion vs. teams without one — measured at the 90-day mark.

Deliverables

What the Champion Program Produces

The Champion engagement produces tangible assets — not just trained people.

01

Champion Playbook

A documented role guide covering Champion responsibilities, talking points for handling skepticism, and a weekly cadence template for running peer sessions.

02

Certification Program

A formal internal certification — including an assessment and a credential — that gives Champions recognition and creates a sustained peer-advocacy infrastructure.

03

Champions SharePoint Hub

A dedicated internal resource center in SharePoint where Champions publish prompts, wins, tips, and peer support — accessible to the entire organization post-launch.

04

Friction Signal Loop

A structured feedback mechanism so Champions relay real-time adoption barriers directly to the project team — enabling fast, targeted interventions before problems compound.

The most powerful AI adoption engine isn't a training platform. It's a person your colleagues already trust. Let's build that network inside your organization.
