You’ve heard the buzz: Microsoft Copilot is transforming how people work — summarizing emails, drafting documents, automating tasks. But before you unleash AI across your team, there’s one question you need to answer:

Is your environment actually ready for it?

Because here’s the thing: Copilot doesn’t work in a vacuum. It relies on the quality of your structure, permissions, and data hygiene. If your Microsoft 365 environment is cluttered, inconsistent, or insecure, you won’t get magic — you’ll get mayhem.

Here’s what readiness really means:

• Your licenses support Copilot (not all of them do)
• Your file structure is logical, accessible, and correctly shared
• Your security settings are modern — MFA, Safe Links, Entra ID in place
• Your workflow tools (like OneNote, Planner, Teams) are already in structured use
• Your sensitive data is governed, not just scattered in personal folders

Most teams miss at least two of these — and it can lead to poor adoption, data exposure, or just disappointing results. That’s why a quick AI Readiness Assessment is a smart move before rolling out tools like Copilot.
