Copilot Activation to ROI Realizations | Valorem Visions Episode 11 | Season 4

Many organizations have rolled out Microsoft 365 Copilot. Far fewer have figured out how to prove it's working. In this episode of Valorem Visions, host Andrew Brower sits down with Kaitlynn Kelly, Senior Adoption Consultant on the Valorem Reply Modern Work team, to walk through what it actually takes to move Copilot from initial activation to measurable ROI. Using a three-phase framework — activation, adoption maturity, and ROI realization — Kaitlynn breaks down why so many organizations get stuck in the middle, how to avoid the trap of surface-level adoption, and what it looks like to tie Copilot usage directly to business outcomes.   Learn more about Valorem Reply's Modern Work solutions: https://www.valoremreply.com/solutions/ai-business-solutions/modern-work/ Follow us on social media - LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/company/valoremreply]     Twitter [https://twitter.com/Valorem]    YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6_xcOlMVYzGYepud5BTtqg]    Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/valoremllc/] Reach out to us  -  Website [https://valoremreply.com/connect/?utm_source=podcast]     Email Us [marketing.valorem@reply.com]

Valorem Visions Episode 9 | Season 4 - Copilot as the System for AI Integration

Everyone wants agents. But most organizations are stuck before they even get started.   In this episode of Valorem Visions, host Andrew Brower sits down with Ben Hungerford, Senior M365 Consultant on Valorem Reply's Modern Work team, to talk through making Copilot the system of record for AI in your organization.   The conversation gets into why so many agentic initiatives stall (hint: it's not the technology), how chasing the "magic bullet" agent is actually slowing companies down, and why starting with integration — not the agent itself — changes everything. Ben also breaks down what it looks like in practice when Valorem Reply works with clients to get unstuck and build real momentum.   If your organization is somewhere between "we know we need agents" and "we have no idea where to start," this one is worth your time.   Got questions or want to talk through your specific situation?
