Key Responsibilities
1) Copilot Enablement Delivery (Webinars, Demos, Hands on)
- Deliver high-impact live training (virtual / in-person) across Microsoft 365 Copilot experiences (e.g., Copilot in Teams, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and other supported M365 surfaces).
- Run role-based webinars, feature demonstrations, guided walkthroughs, and hands-on labs that map directly to real work tasks.
- Create and manage recorded training assets for asynchronous consumption (session recordings + quick reference guides).
- Facilitate office hours / clinics to reinforce learning, answer questions, and address user barriers (confidence, trust, relevance, and responsible use).
2) Prompt Writing & "Prompt Coaching” at Scale
- Train users on prompt fundamentals (context, goal, constraints, tone, structure, grounding, iteration).
- Build and maintain a persona-based prompt library and "best prompts” patterns aligned to common workflows.
- Provide "prompt coaching” during labs/clinics to improve quality of outcomes and reduce trial-and-error fatigue.
3) Persona Creation + Day-in-the-Life (DITL) Interviewing

- Conduct 10–15 structured interviews across roles (or as per program plan) and synthesize insights into role-based scenario maps.
- Translate insights into Top priority use cases and training tracks (focus on what drives real adoption, not generic feature training).
4) Design Thinking Workshops (Use-Case Identification & Workflow Mapping)
- Plan and facilitate design thinking sessions to capture:
o user journeys, workflow steps, "moments that matter,” friction points, and success criteria
- Convert workshop outcomes into:
o a prioritized use-case backlog

o practical labs that replicate daily work tasks
5) Learning Design: Lesson Plans + Persona-Based Paths
- Develop end-to-end lesson plans that include:
o objectives, prerequisite readiness, demo scripts, exercises, expected outcomes, and evaluation rubric
- Create persona-based learning paths for key functions such as:
o Finance, Legal/Compliance, Sales, HR, Operations, Executives (as applicable)
- Maintain reusable assets: slide decks, facilitator guides, learner workbooks, lab guides, Q&A sheets, and troubleshooting tips.
6) Change Corners / Change Kiosks / Community Building
- Run Change Corners (open houses) to enable two-way communication: what's working, what's blocked, what users need next.
- Support a champion / change agent network through train-the-trainer enablement, reinforcement content, and recognition mechanisms.

7) Adoption Campaigns + Communications (Awareness Habit)

o "Copilot Tips & Tricks” by persona
o "Use-case of the week”
o "Prompt of the week”
o success stories and leader messaging
- Partner with Communications/OCM leads to maintain cadence and reduce change fatigue.
8) Value Realization: ROI & Adoption Measurement Support

o cohort ramp-up, attendance, engagement, satisfaction, scenario usage
o qualitative insights + "hours saved” narratives by persona
- Enable and interpret adoption dashboards and reinforce improvements based on trends.
- Drive outcomes aligned to the program's adoption goals (e.g., scaling MAU, internal trainers certification, measurable ROI dashboards).
9) Train-the-Trainer (TTT) & Capability Transfer
- Lead and certify internal trainers (train-the-trainer model), enabling transition of ownership to client teams (e.g., 30+ certified internal trainers target).
- Provide trainer toolkits: facilitator scripts, demo environments, lab packs, scenario library, and FAQs.
10) Continuous Learning & Feature Velocity Readiness
- Maintain a structured mechanism to:
o track Microsoft Copilot feature updates
o update training materials and labs rapidly
o brief stakeholders on what's new and how it impacts workflows
