What is this course about?
M365 Copilot for Operations is a half-day, scenario-based workshop that teaches operations professionals how to prompt Microsoft Copilot effectively, apply disciplined operational thinking, and use the Researcher agent to scale research and planning once the fundamentals are in place. It focuses on process clarity, coordination, and responsible AI use across operational work.
Who should attend this course?
This course is suited to operations managers and team leads, business operations and service delivery teams, project coordinators and operational planners, and anyone responsible for process execution, coordination, or improvement. No prior AI or prompting experience is required.
What will I be able to do after completing this course?
You will be able to write clear, effective prompts using a repeatable structure, use Copilot to support operational planning and coordination, separate assumptions from constraints in operational scenarios, apply prompting discipline across common operations workflows, recognise when deeper research or escalation is required, and use the Researcher agent to scale operational research responsibly.
What is the Researcher agent and when is it introduced?
The Researcher agent is a Microsoft 365 Copilot capability that can accelerate background research tasks such as standards research, vendor comparisons, and best-practice scans. It is introduced only after participants have demonstrated that they can analyse operational constraints and dependencies themselves, ensuring it is used to support operational judgement, not replace it.
Do I need any prior AI or Copilot experience?
No prior AI, prompting, or Researcher experience is required. Familiarity with basic operational or process-based work is expected. Access to Microsoft 365 Copilot is recommended to get the most from the hands-on exercises.
How long is the course and how is it delivered?
The course runs for half a day (3.5 hours). It is delivered instructor-led, either in-person or live online, and is scenario-based and hands-on throughout.
What scenarios are covered in the course?
The course includes realistic operational scenarios covering process mapping and clarification, operational planning and coordination, issue resolution and impact assessment, and operational options with decision support. Each scenario produces a practical output that participants can immediately apply in their role.
Will there be practical exercises?
Yes. The entire course is scenario-based and hands-on. Participants work through realistic operational situations and leave with practical outputs including a process map or workflow outline, an operational plan or runbook draft, an issue assessment and response summary, an operational options summary, and a repeatable prompting framework they can apply immediately.
Is there a certificate upon completion?
Yes. You will receive a Nexacu Certificate of Completion to verify your skills with Microsoft 365 Copilot for Operations. It is ideal for sharing on LinkedIn or adding to your professional development record.
Can this course be delivered for my team or organisation?
Yes. This course is available as a private, customised session for teams and organisations. Contact Nexacu to discuss group bookings, tailored scenarios, or workplace training options.
