Bringing Microsoft Copilot into daily workflows

From decision to adoption: A practical approach to using AI tools & building AI literacy

Artificial intelligence is fast becoming part of the everyday toolkit for knowledge-based organizations. But adopting it successfully isn’t just about picking the right tool; it’s about preparing people, processes, and culture. For associations, where collaboration, documentation and policy work are central, the right approach to AI can help unlock efficiencies and support better decisions.

In this seminar, Jonathan Mead, Finance Manager at Cefic, will share how the organization introduced Microsoft Copilot to support internal workflows. From initial exploration through to staff training and communication, he will outline the rationale behind choosing Copilot over other platforms, and the importance of building AI literacy across departments. This is a practical case study on how one European association is adapting to a new technological reality —step by step.

Key topics:

  • Why Cefic decided to bring AI into the organisation
  • Why Microsoft Copilot was chosen over other AI tools
  • How staff were introduced to Copilot: training, communication, and use cases
  • The role of AI literacy in successful adoption
  • How progress is being tracked and use continues to evolve
