A license assignment is
not a behavior change.
Copilot rollouts usually stall after launch. A few early adopters dig in, the rest of the team goes quiet, and within a month the licenses look like a line item nobody can defend. You're paying full price for software most of your people have opened once. And until you can point to real usage and real time saved, it's impossible to tell whether Copilot is a smart investment or a renewal you'll question.
Paying for
every seat
Low active usage even though you're billed for all of them, month after month.
Leadership is asking
"Why isn't the Copilot spend changing how people actually work?" And there's no clear answer.
Renewal is a guess
No usage data and no value story, so the decision to renew comes down to a hunch.
See the value you're
leaving on the table.
Move the sliders to estimate a directional first-year return from getting more of your team actively using the Copilot licenses you already pay for.
Model assumptions: $99 per Microsoft 365 E7 seat / month (E7 is Microsoft's flagship license and includes Copilot); productivity counted only for newly activated users (active-usage target minus today); sprint investment estimated from Galson CVA program pricing, assuming one of each core element per 90-day sprint (a discovery sprint, a workshop or lunch-and-learn, and a webinar or virtual event), scaling from about $10,000 for a 25 to 30 employee sprint up to about $23,500 for roughly 100 employees, with added sprints for larger rollouts. Figures are directional and rounded.
Illustrative estimate based on the assumptions above and the values you select. It is not a guarantee of adoption, productivity, savings, or business results. Actual outcomes vary by organization, usage, license terms, and execution. A full business case is validated during a readiness conversation.
We assess
readiness, find
the use cases that
matter, run the
sprint, and prove
what changed.
This moves your organization from "we bought Copilot" to "we can see who's using it, what it's saving, and where to roll it out next." It's structured, time-boxed, and built around the way your people actually work, not a generic training day.
A 90-day sprint, not an open-ended project.

Kickoff & goals
Confirm which teams are in scope, your objectives, and what success looks like for your business.
Readiness assessment
Stakeholder interviews, blocker review, and a usage baseline across people, process, and technology.
Adoption sprint
Role-based training, manager reinforcement, champion support, and office hours tied to real work.
Measurement & review
Track usage, adoption, and early time-saved signals against your baseline.
Results & next steps
Package the proof for your leadership, show what changed, and recommend where to expand.
Attendance is not a
success metric. Usage is.
We track the things that actually show whether behavior changed, not activity for its own sake.
Practical value your
team can feel, and that
you can prove.
- Role-based training that maps to the work your team actually does.
- Clear usage and value reporting you can put in front of leadership.
- A confident, data-backed decision on whether and where to expand.
- Measurable productivity gains people feel day to day.
- More return on the Microsoft investment you already made.
- No new tool to buy, learn, or secure.
Every engagement
ends with a
results pack.
You finish with the evidence you need to justify the spend and the next phase internally: a usage dashboard, your before-and-after baseline, an estimate of time saved, and a one-page ROI summary written for decision-makers.
What changed
Usage and adoption measured against your starting baseline.
What it's worth
Time saved and value unlocked, estimated in plain numbers.
What's next
A clear recommendation on where to expand with confidence.
Clear boundaries
make the offer
stronger.
- A generic training day everyone forgets.
- An open-ended consulting engagement.
- A software purchase that was supposed to fix itself.
- A vague rollout with no proof it worked.
Start with one team.
Prove it works, then scale. If you've already bought Copilot but aren't getting full value from it, this is the fastest way to turn that gap into a return.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Training is part of it, but the goal is adoption, usage, and measurable value you can prove.
Yes. We start with one team or department so you can prove the value cleanly before rolling out wider.
Yes. You'll finish with real usage data and a value summary, so the renewal decision is based on evidence, not a hunch.
A fixed, scoped sprint fee agreed up front. If you work through a Microsoft partner, some activity may qualify for co-op funding. Ask us.
The readiness assessment surfaces blockers early, so you don't force a rollout that won't stick.
