Question

A retail company with 8,000 employees wants to deploy Microsoft 365 Copilot. The AI transformation leader is concerned about employee resistance, uneven data readiness across departments, and the need to demonstrate measurable value to justify continued investment to the executive board. Which adoption approach should the leader recommend?

Accepted Answer

Begin with a phased pilot in a few well-prepared departments, measure outcomes, refine the approach, and expand based on demonstrated value

Answer

Deploy Copilot to all 8,000 employees simultaneously to maximize the productivity impact and speed of return on investment

Answer

Delay any deployment until every department has fully remediated its data governance and permission issues across the entire tenant

Answer

Purchase licenses only for the executive board first so leadership can personally evaluate the tool before any wider rollout
