Don't Let Copilot Become Shelfware

The harsh reality facing organizations today is that approximately 40% of Microsoft Copilot licenses become shelfware within the first six months. This represents billions of dollars in wasted investment as companies rush to adopt AI without proper implementation strategies. The problem isn't the technology—it's the approach.

The Three Main Failure Points

Organizations typically fail at three critical junctures. First, governance frameworks are either too restrictive or completely absent, leaving employees uncertain about appropriate use cases. Second, training programs focus on features rather than workflows, resulting in employees who know what Copilot can do but not how to integrate it into their daily work. Third, change management is treated as an afterthought rather than a core component of the rollout strategy.

The financial implications are staggering. With Copilot licenses costing $30 per user per month, a 1,000-person organization with 40% shelfware rate wastes $144,000 annually on unused seats. However, the opportunity cost extends far beyond direct licensing fees. Organizations miss out on the documented 410% ROI that successful implementations achieve through productivity gains and workflow optimization.

The ADOPT Framework Solution

Our NUDGE governance framework provides clear guardrails without stifling innovation, enabling employees to understand when and how to leverage AI capabilities effectively. Combined with comprehensive training programs designed by educational consultants and learning scientists, we ensure users don't just understand features—they transform their workflows.
