Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence

Your operations week already lives in Microsoft 365. Put Copilot to work inside it.

110+ tools and 120+ unique prompts turn familiar documents, messages, meetings and spreadsheets into usable working outputs.

A supplier reply arrives late. A meeting ends with unclear owners. The weekly report mixes periods, and the same missing detail travels from email to a task plan. Generic AI examples leave the real work of preparing inputs, choosing the right app and completing the final document to you.

The course follows a complete operations workflow: source notes become a procedure; communications become decisions and tasks; the operations journal becomes a report; shared status becomes a clear next action. Each scenario shows where to open Copilot, what to provide, a complete prompt, the resulting draft, a common correction and the saved output.

Mike brings 20 years of HR practice, experience at Preply and Wargaming, and authorship of about 200 books on Amazon. He is the #1 HR instructor on Udemy. The course applies that practical teaching approach to documented Copilot workflows and an explicitly fictional operations example.

First comes a detailed tour of Copilot access, app capabilities and plan differences. Word handles SOP drafting and rewriting; Outlook handles thread summaries, email drafting and coaching; Teams connects meeting questions, shared notes, Recap and actions. Planner turns the task list into a plan and status report, with schedules and invitations covered alongside it.

Next, Excel handles formulas, PivotTables, charts and operational measures. Copilot Chat, Word and PowerPoint assemble the weekly report. Pages and Notebooks support cross-team coordination and questions over selected materials. Agent Builder covers an SOP-answering helper, and the final lesson brings the scenarios into a 90-day team rollout.

The continuing fictional example is Velquessa Linen Services, a linen and workwear rental and laundry business. Operations Manager Tessa Arden works through a line-response SOP, a delayed chemical delivery, a clinic shortage, a weekly meeting, a route launch, the delivery log, KPI figures, a weekly report, team handoffs, an SOP agent and rollout. All company records, people and example numbers are fictional.

The demonstration sequence spans 88 Copilot screen-demo slides across 10 detailed lessons. The screens are mockups rebuilt from Microsoft's public documentation; the real interface and workflow may differ. The demonstrations show a licensed Microsoft 365 Copilot user. Some app features, agent scenarios and preview experiences require that license or additional access.

The main practice route uses Copilot Chat with an eligible Microsoft 365 work account, approved pasted notes and your own working files. An organization must enable the relevant access. No trial is required. This route does not imply access to every in-app function or to all organizational files. The downloadable HTML tools run offline in a browser; they do not connect to Copilot or call an AI service.

The working toolkit: 114 distinct tools and templates, counted separately from 121 unique prompts

  • 10 interactive HTML working files: SOP Builder, Operations Email Bank, Operations Data Checker, Rollout Planner.
  • 7 additional working parts within those files: Tone checklist, Weekly inputs, Metric definitions, Agent instructions, Team roster.
  • 52 ready forms, registers and records: access map, source register, responsibility table, shift handoff record, agent passport.
  • 16 ready templates and structures: SOP template, customer shortage reply, weekly agenda, one-page report, five-section slide outline.
  • 16 ready checklists and question sets: owner review checklist, schedule review questions, input completeness check, handoff acceptance checklist, 18-question test log.
  • 13 ready calculators: missing sets, task completion, delivery rate, rewash rate, operating cost per kilogram.
  • 121 unique full prompts, counted separately: supplier follow-up, SOP drafting, meeting action extraction, Excel formula explanation, agent instruction drafting.

The 97 ready forms, templates, checks and calculators are working components within the HTML toolkit, also demonstrated in the course. Repeated displays and repeated KPI calculators are counted once. Explained product concepts add no extra tools to the total.

The ten saved artifacts are a Copilot access map; an SOP and line-response procedure; an operations email bank; a meeting playbook; a task plan and timetable; an operations data and KPI panel; a one-page report with five slides; a cross-team status page; an agent passport with instructions and tests; and a 90-day rollout plan.
