Prompt Like a Pro: The Art and Science of Getting Great Results from Microsoft 365 Copilot
Here is the truth nobody tells you when Copilot gets turned on in your organization: the difference between a user who saves 30 minutes a week and one who saves 8 hours a week has nothing to do with technical skill. It is all about how they talk to Copilot. That is where prompting comes in -- and that is exactly what this session is all about.
In this fun, interactive session, we will dig into the art and science of crafting prompts that actually work. We will explore options for a prompt framework and how to apply them across the apps you use every day -- Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and PowerPoint. We will look at real examples of prompts that fall flat versus prompts that deliver spectacular results, and you will immediately see and feel the difference. We will also cover how to build reusable prompt templates your whole team can share, so the whole organization levels up together, not just the power users.
This is not a boring lecture with slides full of bullet points. We will test prompts live, laugh at the ones that go sideways, and celebrate the ones that knock it out of the park. You will leave with a practical prompt framework you can start using the moment you get back to your desk, plus a set of ready-made prompt templates for the most common work scenarios your team faces every day.
Key Takeaways:
- Apply Microsoft's four-part prompt framework to get more precise, useful results from Copilot in any Microsoft 365 app
- Craft application-specific prompts optimized for Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and PowerPoint
- Diagnose and fix prompts that are not working the way you expected
- Build reusable prompt templates your team can share and build on together
- Use Copilot Pages and Copilot Notebooks to organize and act on your Copilot outputs
- Walk away with a ready-to-use prompt library you can immediately put to work
If you have Microsoft 365 Copilot and feel like you are not getting everything out of it that you could be, this session is your shortcut. Let's make every prompt count!
