Copilot, Made Practical

Clear first steps. Real confidence. Habits that stick.

The biggest challenge with AI is not proving the technology. It is turning it into real business impact. Success depends on adoption, not just whether it works. Copilot already lives inside Microsoft 365. The question is not whether it is useful. It is whether your people will use it well, safely, and consistently when the work is real.

That is why we focus on a clear, structured approach. Human coaching, inside the tools you already use, so Copilot becomes part of how work gets done.

The goal is not to “do AI”. It is to make your week feel lighter. Fewer messy meetings. Clearer decisions. Less rewriting. More follow-through. Email never really ends. Meetings multiply. Decisions take longer than they should.

Why leaders are paying attention

Copilot isn’t another AI app sitting alongside everything else. It’s built into the Microsoft 365 tools your organisation already runs on – meetings, email, documents, planning, and decision-making.

And that’s why it matters. It can make work easier but only if it’s used well, with the right foundations in place.

Most businesses don’t struggle to start. They struggle to make it stick because a few basics aren’t clear yet:

  • leaders try it, but don’t use it when the work really matters
  • everyone uses it differently, so results are inconsistent
  • permissions and governance aren’t clear, so people feel unsure or cautious

     

This is where most ways of working stall. People try Copilot, a few get great results, and then the week gets busy again. We’ve created Elevate to help teams build the habits and confidence that keep it in daily use.

We make Copilot practical, safe, and easy to adopt – starting with leaders, because that’s where the habits get set.

Ignite

Copilot Unlocked: The Executive Edition (In-person)

What Ignite is

Ignite is an in-person masterclass for leaders who want to understand Copilot properly before they make decisions – or spend months “testing” without a clear direction.

It’s not a generic AI talk. It’s a small room, a practical walkthrough, and a set of conversations that help you see what’s genuinely useful for your team, and what you can ignore for now.

What you’ll leave with

You won’t leave with theory. You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a plan you can actually act on.

Clarity

Understand it without the hype
You’ll see what Copilot can do inside Microsoft 365, and what it can’t, in the context of the tools you already live in: Teams, Outlook, Word and PowerPoint. We’ll also show you what “good” looks like in real teams, so you’re not guessing based on demos and hype.

Confidence

Make your week feel lighter
You’ll walk through practical use cases that translate into real work, preparing for key meetings, drafting and refining communication, turning messy notes into usable documents, and getting to better decisions faster. You’ll also learn how to evaluate value responsibly, without introducing risk. Expect examples like meeting prep in Teams, inbox triage in Outlook, turning conversations into clear actions, and making sense of long documents without digging.

Direction

Build habits that stick
Most people get stuck after the first week of experimentation. Ignite helps you avoid that. You’ll leave with a simple next-step plan - what needs to be in place, what habits matter, and what a sensible rollout looks like in a business like yours. And you’ll be able to tell quickly whether Elevate is the right next step because Elevate is where Copilot becomes part of the working week.

Who Ignite is for

Ignite is designed for teams that already run on Microsoft 365 and want Copilot to become a real advantage – not an interesting experiment.

This session is a strong fit if you:

  • work daily in Teams, Outlook, Word and PowerPoint
  • care about security, permissions and governance (or know you should)
  • want adoption that holds up beyond the first burst of curiosity
  • are making decisions that affect teams, workflows, and outcomes

     

If that sounds like you, you’ll get a lot from the room – and you’ll probably contribute a lot to it, too.

    Elevate

    Coaching for leaders

    What Elevate is

    Elevate is where Copilot becomes part of your week, the kind of support you can rely on when the work is real and the calendar is full. Because that’s the moment most people stop using Copilot and revert back to old habits.

    Elevate is structured coaching for leaders. We work with your real meetings, emails, documents and decisions so Copilot becomes useful in the places it actually counts.

    What Elevate delivers

    Use it where you already work
    Copilot works best inside Microsoft 365 in Teams, Outlook, Word and PowerPoint. We help you use it there, so you’re not copying and pasting between tools or guessing what’s safe.

    Personal coaching (not a classroom)
    1:1 (or tiny cohort) sessions built around your day-to-day work so progress shows up immediately, not months later.

    A lighter week
    Spend less time preparing, rewriting, recapping and chasing follow-ups. Use that time for the decisions and conversations that matter. By week 6, most leaders are saving 30 to 60 minutes a day, because the busywork stops eating the diary.

    A new way of working
    This isn’t training. It’s building the habit of thinking with AI as a leader, how to delegate, challenge, sense-check, and decide with more clarity.

    We don’t leave you stuck
    When something is misconfigured or blocking progress, we help remove the friction. Leaders shouldn’t lose momentum because the setup isn’t quite right.

    Programme structure

    Duration: 8 weeks (two cadence options)

    Choose the pace that suits your diary:

    • Intensive: 1 session per week for 4 weeks
    • Integrated: 1 session every two weeks for 8 weeks


    Each session includes:

    • 1-hour live coaching
    • guided exercises applied to your real work
    • curated prompts and use cases to keep momentum between sessions

    Expand (coming next)

    Scalable AI enablement for teams - without losing quality

    Once leaders are confident, the next challenge is scaling it across teams without it turning into “a few people use it, most people don’t”.

    Expand is designed to build team habits, shared ways of working, and consistent results without losing the human support that makes adoption stick.

    What Expand is designed for:

    • extending AI competence beyond leadership
    • a more scalable format (group sessions, guided learning, curated content)
    • keeping the “coaching feel” and human support – not just content and checklists

    Frequently asked questions

    Do we need Copilot already?

    No. Ignite is valuable whether you already have paid Copilot, you’re only using the free experience, or you’re still deciding. The session helps you evaluate it properly and understand what adoption will actually require.

    Is Ignite technical?

    No. It’s executive-friendly and grounded in real workflows – with clear guidance on the foundations that matter (including governance). You don’t need to be technical. If you can run a team and make decisions, you’ll be right at home.

    Who should attend Ignite from our organisation?

    Leaders who run teams, make decisions, and want Copilot to translate into real day-to-day improvement – not experimentation for its own sake. If the person attending can influence how work gets done, they’re usually the right person.

    How is Elevate different from Ignite?

    Ignite creates excitement. Elevate creates change. It’s designed to build real day-to-day habits over time, using your real work, so Copilot becomes part of your operating rhythm – not something you try for a week and forget.

    What if we’re not a fit for Ignite?

    That’s exactly why we qualify. If this session isn’t right for you, we’ll suggest the most sensible next step – which might be a different session, a different format, or a different starting point.

    Do we need to do Ignite before Elevate?

    No. Ignite and Elevate are separate pathways. Some leaders start with Ignite for clarity, others go straight to Elevate if they already know they want coaching and habit change.

    What if our Microsoft 365 setup isn’t perfect?

    That’s common. Copilot tends to reveal what was already true about your environment. If you want Copilot to work properly across the business, the foundations matter. We help you see what needs attention now, and what can wait, so momentum is not lost.

    Can Solid run our entire IT function?

    Yes. Solid can take over as your managed IT service provider, meaning we can own the day to day running of your IT, support, and ongoing improvement, without it feeling risky or disruptive.

    What actually happens when we switch to Solid?

    Switching MSPs often feels risky and uncertain, so we run the handover in a structured way. The goal is to remove the friction that normally makes companies stick with the status quo, even when they are not happy.

    How do we know things will actually be better after the switch?

    Most companies hesitate because they cannot be sure the outcome will improve, it’s the “devil you know” problem. We try to remove that uncertainty by making the value clearer up front and reducing the barriers that make switching feel like a leap of faith.

    We are busy. How much effort will it take to switch to Solid from our side?

    Effort and coordination is one of the main reasons people avoid switching MSPs. The programme is explicitly designed to reduce upfront friction and the “big project” feeling, while still protecting delivery quality.

    Ready to make Copilot genuinely useful?
