Community
An industry-level community of practice for the AI workplace — convened monthly, anchored by our flagship Copilot Center of Excellence. The CoE is how organizations enter. The community is how they sustain.
The model: enter through the CoE, sustain through the community
Most organizations that deploy Copilot without a CoE see adoption stall within six months. The Center of Excellence solves the initial problem — but a CoE alone doesn’t sustain. The community of practice is the ongoing engine that keeps your organization learning, governing, and evolving.
Deployment is the entry. Community is how the practice endures.
Monthly convening
Structured sessions, peer presentations, and open discussion — every month, with AI workplace leaders from across organizations.
Cross-org peer network
Share what’s working, govern emerging risks together, and learn from organizations at every stage of the journey.
Copilot CoE anchor
The CoE provides the structured foundation — governance, templates, training — that makes community participation valuable.
Forward evolution
As Microsoft releases new capabilities, the community is where you learn to apply them — with peers who are figuring it out too.
How the model works
Deployment is the entry. Community is how the practice endures.
