Problem

PMI wanted employees to use generative AI within a common governance framework. It needed staff training and a controlled route for introducing workplace tools.

Approach

PMI made the Microsoft Copilot chatbot in Edge available to office employees in April 2024. It subsequently gave around 3,800 employees initial access to Microsoft 365 Copilot, then offered access by application. Training and an internal information hub supported the rollout.
