AI just changed. Most businesses haven't noticed yet. The first wave was a search engine you typed at. The next wave is an AI teammate that works alongside you — and takes action on your behalf.
Microsoft Copilot Cowork is the first agentic AI experience built into Microsoft 365. You describe an outcome; Cowork plans the steps, reads across your emails, meetings, files and Teams chats, calls the right tools, and returns finished work — drafts, decks, dashboards, summaries — not a conversation.

Real results
We did this ourselves.
Before launching the Accelerator we rolled Cowork out inside our own business and a handful of client teams, and measured everything. These aren't projections — they are measured outcomes from real teams.
Our own team
4 people · 3 weeks of Cowork as a daily AI teammate
→47 hours reclaimed across the team in three weeks
→Quarterly board pack drafted in 2 hours — previously a 2-day job
→Client research and onboarding briefs cut from 3 hours to 20 minutes
→First AI Agent scoped and operational by end of week 3
A professional services firm
15 people · rolled out across the team in the first month
→184 hours saved across the team in 30 days
→Proposal generation reduced from 6 hours to 90 minutes
→Inbox triage automated — 45 min per person, per day reclaimed
→Surfaced two automation opportunities worth an estimated £80k
A senior leader
50-person managed services business · Cowork as personal chief of staff
→12+ hours every week back on the leader's calendar
→Weekly leadership report built automatically every Monday — from meetings, emails and Teams threads
→Risks and opportunities surfaced in real time — not at the end of the quarter
The programme
A guided 28-day sequence.
20 guided days across 4 weeks that take every participant from AI-curious to AI-confident. By the end, your team is fluent, their time savings are measured, and Cowork itself can tell you which workflows to automate next.
Week 1Onboard your AI teammate
Microsoft 365 Copilot is activated and Cowork is switched on safely. Every team member sets up their AI teammate, builds context about their role, and starts using it for daily activities — briefings, meeting prep, action capture and commitment tracking.
OutcomeAI used every day. Foundations laid.
Week 2Reclaim hours every week
Repetitive admin gets handed to Cowork. Inbox triage, request prioritisation, finding information across emails, files, Teams and meetings, calendar audits — each task logged in a personal time-saved tracker.
Outcome5–10 hours back per person, per week.
Week 3Replace manual work with AI output
Cowork moves from assistant to producer. Proposals, presentations, reports, deep research and business documents — drafted by AI, refined by your team. Every output tagged with the value of the time it replaced.
OutcomeMajor time savings on document work.
Week 4Surface the automations
With four weeks of real activity indexed by Cowork, AI identifies exactly which workflows in your business should become automations or AI Agents. You leave with a personalised AI workforce roadmap ranked by ROI.
OutcomeA quantified opportunity register.
Each week builds on the last. The Week 4 automation roadmap is only possible because Cowork has been observing real work patterns since Day 1 — which is why this is a 4-week sequence, not a series of standalone sessions.

Getting started
Ready to get your team using AI?
The Accelerator runs in cohorts. Most businesses start with a pilot group of 5–15 participants — enough to prove value across teams, small enough to learn from before scaling.

02
Pre-flight setup
We activate Copilot, switch on Cowork and configure governance — all before Day 1.
