Sulava’s Copilot Champions Nurture AI Adoption
AI is rapidly transforming the way we work, yet its true value is only realized when people are empowered to explore, experiment, and embed new tools into their daily routines. At Sulava, our Copilot Champions Program is designed to bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI and practical workplace adoption. By putting people at the center of digital transformation, we enable organizations to harness Microsoft Copilot’s full potential, making productivity gains meaningful, sustainable, and accessible to all.
What makes a Copilot Champion?
Through their commitment and enthusiasm, Copilot Champions act as catalysts for change, modelling new ways of working and encouraging experimentation across teams. Their proactive approach helps to surface practical insights and enables a sense of shared purpose, ensuring that AI adoption is both inclusive and aligned with organizational goals. These Champions not only drive momentum within their own circles but also nurture a thriving environment where innovation and continuous improvement are part of everyday work life. They are not expected to be Copilot Trainers simply “banging the drum for change” and sharing their success stories on how Copilot has helped them to be more productive and demonstrate return on the licence investment (ROI).
How does the programme work?
Importantly, each session provides practical guidance tailored to evolving workplace needs, equipping Champions with actionable insights for immediate impact. Feedback loops and peer-led knowledge sharing enable a supportive learning environment, where best practices are refined, and challenges are addressed collectively. This dynamic approach ensures that Copilot adoption remains relevant and inclusive, empowering every participant to contribute to a continuous cycle of improvement and innovation that truly transforms the way teams work.
Copilot Champions Across Sectors
From our experience becoming a Copilot Champion begins by identifying opportunities within your sector, whether public, private, or education, that align with your organization’s strategic goals and digital transformation priorities, as follows:
Public sector, often focus on improving service delivery, streamlining administrative processes, and driving transparency through AI-powered collaboration
Private sector, typically target productivity boosts, competitive advantage, and innovation in customer engagement, emphasizing efficiency and agility.
Education sector, play a critical role in supporting teaching and learning, enhancing classroom collaboration, and nurturing digital literacy among staff and students using the Growth Mindset framework.
Understanding these distinctions ensures that each Champion can tailor their approach, leveraging Copilot to unlock sector-specific value and inspire meaningful change.
Why it matters?
This collective effort not only accelerates digital transformation but also nurtures a culture where curiosity and collaboration thrive. As Champions share their insights and celebrate successes, they inspire confidence across teams, making AI feel approachable and relevant to everyday work. This ripple effect ensures that the benefits of Copilot extend beyond early adopters, embedding a spirit of innovation and adaptability throughout the organization—and paving the way for sustainable, inclusive progress.
How to find top Copilot users (summary)
There are four main ways to identify your top Microsoft 365 Copilot users:
- Microsoft 365 Admin Center (fastest)
- Go to Reports → Usage → Microsoft 365 Copilot.
- Sort the user table by prompts submitted, active days, or last activity.
- Best for a quick list of high‑usage users.
- Copilot Dashboard (best for leaders)
- Open Viva Insights → Copilot Dashboard.
- View adoption, usage by app, and impact metrics.
- Helps spot consistent and influential Copilot users across teams.
- Copilot Analytics (recommended for “power users”)
- Use Viva Insights analytics or Power BI templates.
- Identifies Power Users and Habitual Users based on consistency, volume, and breadth of use.
- Best for champion programs and adoption strategy.
- Power BI Super User templates (advanced)
- Microsoft’s “Decoding Super Usage” toolkit.
- Deep behavioral analysis and executive‑ready dashboards.
- Ideal for AI enablement and scaling best practices.
Rule of thumb:
Heavy usage ≠ top user. The best Copilot users show consistent, multi‑app usage over time.
