🧠 You’ve Got Copilot, Now Learn the Skills That Unlocks Its Full Potential
For civil servants and public sector teams, Copilot can be a game changer, but here’s the catch: Copilot is only as effective as the prompts you give it.
If you’ve ever tried Copilot and thought, “This isn’t quite right.” or “I could’ve done this faster myself.” you’re not alone.
The problem usually isn’t Copilot. It’s the prompt.
This session focuses on the one skill that makes all the difference: how to craft specific prompts that give Copilot the context, clarity, and direction it needs to produce high-quality results you can trust and actually use.
Learn techniques for structuring prompts to leverage Copilot’s full potential and develop the ability to validate Copilot’s responses for accuracy and refine prompts iteratively.
Whether you’re drafting briefings, summarising legislation, or prepping internal reports, this session will show you how to get Copilot to work with you, not against you and give you practical guidance you can use immediately.
