At Grant McGregor, we are constantly exploring and evaluating a wide range of opportunities to enhance productivity, streamline workflows and foster effective collaboration within our team. Innovation lies at the heart of our approach, which is why we have embraced transformative technologies such as Microsoft 365 Copilot.
In this blog, we’re excited to share our very own Katerina Konstantinou’s top 10 favourite ways to use Microsoft 365 Copilot as an operations manager, based on her experience of enhancing day-to-day operations.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is a powerful AI assistant integrated into the apps you already use, including Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams. Designed to support and enhance the way you work, it helps you brainstorm ideas, summarise content, automate repetitive tasks, generate insightful reports and speed up decision-making.
Here’s how it’s already making a measurable difference for operations managers like Katerina:
2. Brainstorm ideas: Need help creating taglines, product names or social media content?
3. Find key information in SharePoint: Use Copilot to search for specific information within documents stored in SharePoint.
✔️ Just ask Copilot to locate the information you need, and it will retrieve the relevant details from the documents.
5. Ask specific questions: Prompt Copilot with: "What did [person] say about [topic]?"
✔️ Get quick, precise answers.
7. Summarise a document: Summarise long documents by highlighting the relevant information and providing an executive summary in a desired tone and style.
✔️ Perfect for reports, proposals and updates.
8. Create new content in seconds: Need a draft quickly?
✔️ Copilot helps you avoid the struggle of staring at a blank page.
9. Suggest formulas based on your description: Describe what you want and Copilot will generate the formula for you
✔️ Faster, smarter and error-free.
The real secret to unlocking Copilot’s potential? Mastering your prompts. The clearer your instructions, the more powerful the results, which will significantly enhance productivity and collaboration. It may sound like a journey, but with commitment, we can truly leverage these powerful tools to achieve our goals and make our daily tasks more efficient and effective.
