Evaluate and prepare the client’s environment for AI deployment by checking data availability, licensing, and security/compliance alignment, and coordinate with technical teams to remediate any gaps before Copilot rollout.
Collaborate on user enablement efforts to drive Copilot adoption, including delivering initial training, creating how-to guides, and supporting change management initiatives.
Develop, curate, and maintain AI training and enablement content (e.g. tutorials, guides, success stories) and ensure it’s accessible via Courser’s SmartShift Academy platform for employees and clients.
Monitor Copilot usage and adoption metrics (e.g. active users, frequency of use) and quantify the impact on productivity (time saved, output quality), then refine the AI roadmap based on these insights.
Stay up to date with emerging Microsoft AI features (such as new Copilot capabilities, Copilot Studio agent tools, or relevant Azure AI services) and proactively incorporate those into solution proposals and strategy updates.
Establish an internal “AI Champions” network at customer organizations to foster peer learning and sustain Copilot adoption.
