Applying AI and Improvement Tools to Real Workflows

Organizations across sectors are exploring AI tools, yet many professionals are still working through a practical question: how can these tools be used to improve real work? From preparing meeting summaries and drafting communications to organizing information and supporting process improvement efforts, AI has the potential to help teams work more effectively when applied thoughtfully and intentionally. 

In this webinar, Jan Lehman and her team from CTC Productivity will share practical approaches for using Microsoft Copilot and foundational AI techniques within everyday workflows. Participants will explore where AI can support common work activities, how to write more effective prompts, and how to identify opportunities to reduce repetitive work while maintaining sound judgment and oversight. The discussion will also cover differences between Microsoft 365 Copilot free and paid experiences and considerations for organizations beginning or expanding their AI adoption efforts.

Participants will leave with:

·       An understanding of where AI tools can support everyday work

·       Practical examples of using Microsoft Copilot within common workflows

·       Basic prompting techniques that improve results

·       Ideas for identifying repetitive tasks that may be good candidates for AI support
