🌟 Exciting Update! 🌟 We're delighted to see the results of the Australian Government's Microsoft 365 Copilot trial that ran earlier this year between January and June. The trial by the Australian Public Service (APS) involved 7,600 users across more than 60 agencies and was one of the first deployments of Copilot within the public sector globally. Key Highlights include: - 86 per cent of trial participants wished to continue to use Copilot (including 92% of senior executives) - 77 per cent were optimistic about Copilot Up to 1 hour a day saved, with participants using this time for higher-value activities like mentoring, strategic planning, and stakeholder engagement. The trial also emphasized the importance of tailored training and change management to maximize the benefits of generative AI, with 75 per cent of participants who received three or more forms of training feeling the most confident in using Copilot. This is no surprise and when speaking with customers, is often the number one factor to successful adoption. The trial also paves the way for Australia's technology sector to engage with local providers, partners, and other major tech players to fully realize the potential of generative AI. I am excited see some of the use cases emerge as agencies expand from the trial where Copilot is driving meaningful impact within the public sector!

Earlier this year, the Australian Public Service (APS) engaged in one of the nation’s largest trials of Microsoft 365 Copilot, and we’re excited to see the government release a report today that discusses the trial outcomes and learnings. The independent evaluation, completed by Nous Group for the Digital Transformation Agency, shows that Copilot is popular with users, delivers significant productivity gains and can make workplaces more inclusive. It also highlights how quickly the technology is evolving, and the importance of training and skilling as part of a broader organisational change program to enable users to fully realise the benefits of generative AI. https://lnkd.in/eDxqMwKD #microsoftcopilot #copilot #microsoftai #microsoft #ai
