Turning AI into Everyday Business Value

In early September 2026, Kounnis Academy successfully completed two Microsoft Copilot training programmes: an in-company programme at edBOS and an open, multi-company programme bringing together professionals from different businesses.

The programme, Copilot for Business Professionals: A Practical Approach, was delivered twice, helping participants apply AI to everyday business tasks through practical exercises and workplace examples.

Why do businesses need Copilot training now?

Growing workloads and increasing expectations place pressure on businesses to deliver quality work faster. Preparing reports, managing emails, analysing spreadsheets and following up on meetings can consume time that teams could dedicate to clients, planning and business development.

Copilot training helps professionals identify where AI can support their work and develop the skills to use it effectively. Access to the technology is only the starting point. Employees also need to write clear prompts, evaluate outputs and apply professional judgement.

What practical value does the training deliver?

Our September programmes helped participants develop skills to:

• Draft and refine documents and emails with clearer structure and appropriate tone.
• Analyse Excel data and present findings through reports and visualisations.
• Create presentations from existing documents and business information.
• Summarise meetings and organise follow-up actions to strengthen collaboration.
• Explore workflow automation and AI agents for recurring business needs.

Effective prompting and responsible AI use were central to both programmes. Through practical application, participants developed approaches they can use to reduce repetitive work and dedicate more attention to tasks requiring their expertise.

For businesses, this is where AI training creates value: connecting technology with the work their people perform every day.
