Power BI licensingRollout approach
From Copilot pilot to governed, organisation-wide adoption
Many listed groups already have a Copilot pilot or an AI statement in their annual report. The hard part is turning that into measurable adoption across departments without creating data or compliance risk.
1. Readiness and licensing
Check Microsoft 365 eligibility, identity and access, SharePoint and Teams oversharing, and sensitivity labels, then map the right Copilot, Microsoft 365 E3/E5 and Copilot Studio licences.
2. Governed pilot with business owners
Run a time-boxed pilot in two or three departments with named owners, agreed use cases and success measures such as hours saved, turnaround time and user satisfaction.
3. Department rollout waves
Expand seat by seat with adoption training, champion networks and prompt libraries tailored to finance, HR, operations, sales and management teams.
4. Agents and system integration
Add Copilot Studio agents connected to ERP, CRM, document libraries and line-of-business systems for process-level automation.
5. Measure and report to the board
Use Copilot usage reporting and business metrics to show value, support renewal decisions and give directors clear evidence for AI governance disclosures.

Common uses include drafting marketing and product content, analysing sales data in Excel, summarising supplier contracts, handling customer feedback and preparing management reports.
Does Copilot work with our ERP and sales data?
