Mastering Copilot Feels Just Like Playing the Piano — Here’s Why

Microsoft Copilot is an incredible tool. Yet, in my work with clients (I’ve probably taught Copilot in some form to nearly 50 different companies), I continue to be surprised at how most organisations are overlooking this opportunity to transform their business processes. 
Congratulations! Your organisation recently made the decision to move forward with selecting SAP S/4HANA, and you will either be leaving an old ERP or a previous version of SAP ECC behind — a great strategic move but only the first in many more decisions to come on the SAP ERP journey that lies ahead. The SAP solution portfolio includes numerous components that can be deployed in many ways. To begin moving forward…
Digital transformation in finance has been on the docket for years. So, why do organisations still struggle? The status quo is filled with manual, spreadsheet-driven workflows and fractured application ecosystems that may have been caused by failed attempts at digital transformation — and significant investments alone will not guarantee success. These issues have led to reduced data integrity and delayed reporting…
Operational leaders of nearly every organisation, regardless of size, geography or industry, have seen a seismic shift in the unexpected changes to operational processes over the last few years. From supply chain and infrastructure disruptions, remote work and severe staff shortages to rapidly rising prices, each business has a striking story to tell of how it has been impacted. It’s also likely these companies have…
Among the business topics that have dominated the press over the past two years, supply chain difficulties and labor shortages have certainly been at the top. But the two are not mutually exclusive. organisations across all industries are having a hard time finding employees to keep their supply chains operating as efficiently and smoothly as possible; goals that have been made more difficult due to the COVID-19…
Mission critical The quote-to-cash (Q2C) process is a vital part of the sales cycle that is responsible for driving revenue for an organisation. It encompasses detailed sales functions spanning from initial quote configuration to payment receipt and revenue recognition. Optimising the Q2C process allows companies to speed up sales cycles, close a higher percentage of deals and create a better buying experience for…
It’s probably not surprising that emerging technology’s role in the future of work, the workforce and workplaces are top of mind for global business leaders; what is surprising is nearly three quarters (74%) of those executives believe digital and emerging technologies will add jobs and increase the size of their workforce over the next decade. That should help allay some of the fears of workers that emerging…

Our ProPride initiative supports our belief in supporting a dynamic, sexual and gender-diverse workforce.“I have a fundamental belief that you can’t have diversity or a diverse workforce until you have an inclusive culture and practice…
It’s our good fortune to have an abundance of information security expertise at Protiviti, and it’s even better when we assemble these experts to share their experiences. In this first of a three-blog series, we discuss the early days for the CISO’s transition into a new leadership role which include: Establishing crucial relationships with the business, IT and security and privacy teams. the…
The last two years have provided a considerable test of resiliency for technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) companies. Industry leaders have been widely commended for spearheading growth and innovation during this period, but they continue to face a broad range of risks that require laser-focused mitigation strategies. In recent months, a dominant threat to the industry has been the war between Russia and…
It might seem difficult to believe that, in 2021, only 25% of jobs in technology were held by women. Such a small percentage shows that women are still grossly underrepresented in this vital and continually growing industry. Whether the issue is a lack of women with education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects or archaic attitudes in hiring practices, there is a serious…
