Last year, Micro Strategies launched an internal pilot program, deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot to its most engaged and often overextended employees. This strategic initiative aimed to evaluate Copilot’s efficiency in enhancing productivity, streamlining workflows, fostering collaboration, and boosting creativity. This blog is part of a blog series that unpacks the outcomes and insights from this trial, offering a detailed exploration of Copilot’s impact within the company.  

Today’s business leaders face constant pressure to do more with less—maximize efficiency, deliver results, and manage growing workloads. 

Add in the complexity of leading large teams and overseeing multiple client projects across departments, and the challenge becomes even greater. 

That’s where Microsoft 365 Copilot steps in. 

It helps leaders like Jason Jolley, Senior Director of Engineering at Micro Strategies, stay ahead—by streamlining tasks, boosting productivity, and keeping teams aligned. 

With Copilot, Jason can: 

  • Stay informed without being overwhelmed 
  • Deliver measurable outcomes faster 
  • Focus on innovation instead of manual tasks 

The result? Better decisions, stronger leadership, and more time to focus on what matters most.  

Leadership Made Smarter with Copilot 

Jason highlighted several ways Copilot’s recap feature enhances his ability to lead effectively: 

  • Stay Informed Despite a Full Calendar: Copilot’s AI summarizes meeting notes and recordings, ensuring Jason always has the information he needs, no matter how packed his schedule is. 
  • Quick Access to Key Insights: Searchable summaries and concise overviews allow him to identify and resolve issues faster, boosting both team momentum and customer satisfaction. 
  • Optimized Team Workflows: By helping allocate resources efficiently, Copilot ensures work continues uninterrupted, enhancing productivity and delivering measurable impact to the bottom line. 
  • Foster Innovation and Knowledge Sharing: Copilot makes it easy to share insights, new skills, and best practices across teams, creating a culture of continuous learning and innovation. 
  • Actionable Data at Your Fingertips: With Copilot tying together meeting notes, tasks, and transcripts, Jason can immediately focus on strategic priorities without getting bogged down in follow-ups. 

As Jason explains: 

“With Copilot, I spend less time trying to catch up and more time driving strategic efforts that benefit the company as a whole.”
