AI is changing the way we work, but here’s the big truth: Copilot becomes far more valuable when people share what works, not when everyone figures things out alone. That’s why creating a Copilot Community inside Viva Engage is one of the simplest, most high‑impact steps any organisation can take to speed up adoption, improve skills, and boost confidence for all employees.
When last did you not work through lunch — 2014? Honestly, between the never‑ending email spirals, back‑to‑back meetings, and that one Excel file that silently judges your life choices, lunch breaks have basically become folklore. Unicorns. Bigfoot. But hey, there’s hope! Copilot is here to help you reclaim those carefree midday moments, you know, when “lunch” meant actual food, not caffeine and mild panic. Today we're taking your lunch hour back, one smart prompt at a time. Because it’s 2026, and your wellbeing isn’t a luxury anymore… it’s a non‑negotiable.
Everyone loves the idea of a big “prompt library”, a long list of ready‑made phrases you can copy and paste into Copilot. It feels useful… until it isn’t. The truth? Prompt lists get old fast. Your work changes. Your documents change. Your goals change. And suddenly those pre‑written prompts don’t fit anymore. Even worse: people start copying prompts that were written for a completely different situation. That’s when Copilot gives weird or unhelpful answers, not because it’s wrong, but because the prompt didn’t match the task.
If you’ve tried Copilot in one app, you’ve seen a quarter of the magic. Over the last four posts, we explored quick wins in Excel, Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint. This wrap‑up shows how those wins summarized, and why a handful of basic skills in each app make Copilot’s help sharper, safer, and faster. I’ve also linked short, practical resources so you can level up in minutes, not months.
In 2007 my paths crossed with #ISO Compliance and #SharePoint. It soon became apparent to me as the Management Representative for that company, that I would never use another tool again for ISO Systems. In this quick blog, I'll share... Continue Reading →
I always have fun creating blogs that include #SharePoint and #PowerPoint. In this short video I'll share another idea on creating Image Maps or Hotspots with #PowerPoint and adding it with File Viewer Web Parts on SharePoint. #Office365#Microsoft365. Here's the... Continue Reading →
