The Professional's Guide to Adopting AI - A Hype Free Zone!

About this Event

Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a buzzword; it's a powerful tool that is already in your hands. But with so much noise and so many new features appearing every day, how do you know where to start?

Join us for an exclusive Lunch & Learn session where we'll demystify the world of AI in the workplace. We will focus on how to use it safely and effectively to boost your productivity and streamline your daily tasks.

What We Will Cover:

• The Real Benefits of AI: We’ll explore how AI can help you save time, reduce repetitive tasks, and free you up for more creative and strategic work. We'll show you how to leverage AI to become more efficient, whether you're working on a document, analysing data, or simply managing your inbox.
• Copilot: Free vs. Paid: We will break down the key differences between the complimentary Microsoft Copilot Chat (available to all Microsoft 365 users) and the powerful, paid Microsoft 365 Copilot. We’ll demonstrate how to get the most out of the features you have access to today and explain why the premium version offerings have huge ROI opportunities.
• The Honest Take on Data Protection: AI is a powerful tool, but it's not without risks. We will have an honest discussion about the data protection and privacy implications of using AI at work. We will cover both the "good" (how tools like Copilot are designed to protect enterprise data) and the "bad" (the risks of using public AI tools with confidential information) so you can make informed decisions.
• Practical Demonstrations: This isn't just theory. We’ll show you live demonstrations of how we are already using these tools right here at BDO/C5. See how AI can help you summarise meetings, draft emails, and get instant answers from your internal documents and data. To the more advanced Researcher & Analyst Agents that can combine to AI powered automated flows.
• Your Next Steps & The Future: Walk away with a clear understanding of how you can start using these tools immediately. We’ll provide a roadmap for your own AI journey and share our insights on where we believe the future of AI in the workplace is headed.
