The Next Generation of Digital Efficiency

Digital Efficiency Has Entered a New Era.

Administrative professionals still need to master Outlook, Teams, Excel, meetings, tasks, communication and the flow of information. But today, Copilot and AI are changing how that work gets done.

In this six-part live virtual training series, Mike Song combines his proven Get Control methods with practical Copilot skills, job-specific prompts, smarter Microsoft 365 workflows and AI agents. You’ll learn how to reduce digital overload, streamline repeat work, manage scattered tasks, strengthen executive-ready output and use AI with more confidence across your whole workday.

Whether you’re new to Copilot, already using it, or coming back to Digital Efficiency for the next generation of training, this series is built to help you work with greater speed, control and confidence.

Digital Efficiency isn't being replaced by AI. It's evolving, because AI has changed how digital efficiency is achieved.

ODI 2026 Workplace AI Survey

Copilot Is the AI Tool Most Admins Have. Few Have Been Shown How to Use It Well.

We surveyed hundreds of administrative professionals in 2026. Access to AI has moved fast, but training and support haven’t kept up.

78%

48%

have received no formal AI training at all

59%

say AI touches less than 10% of their actual work

72%

describe themselves as beginners or basic users

You asked. This series answers.

74%

Session 2: Power Prompts

67%

Session 6: Copilot Agents

44%

Session 4: Embedded Copilot in Outlook, Teams, Excel and Forms

43% said time is the biggest barrier to learning AI. Each session is 60 minutes, and you’ll have recordings for 60 days.

What You'll Learn

Three Skills That Work Better Together

Most AI training teaches the tool in a vacuum. This series teaches Copilot and AI inside the work you’re already responsible for, so every skill connects to a real task on your plate.

LAYER 01

Microsoft 365 Tools

Outlook, Teams, Excel, Forms, meetings and the information that moves between them.

+

LAYER 02

Copilot + AI

Prompts, Copilot features, Notebooks, Pages, Create and agents.

+

LAYER 03

Administrative Workflows

Executive communication, travel, scheduling, research, follow-up, task management and briefings.

You're not learning AI in the abstract. You're learning how to use it inside the work you already own.

Built for Where You Are

Wherever You’re Starting From, There’s a Place for You Here

Returning Participants

You took Digital Efficiency. Now the work has changed.

Your past training gave you a strong foundation. In 2027, Mike brings his Get Control approach into today’s AI-powered Microsoft environment with Copilot fundamentals, Power Prompts, the AI PowerTask System, embedded Copilot, advanced Copilot features and agents. It’s an entirely new learning journey, built on what you already know.

New to Digital Efficiency

Take control of Copilot, AI and your digital workday.

Your work doesn’t happen in one app. It moves across email, calendars, Teams chats, meeting notes, spreadsheets, research, travel requests and shifting executive priorities. This series is designed around administrative work, and it’s a good fit whether AI makes you a little nervous or you already use it daily.

Managers, HR and L&D

Invest in AI adoption that shows up in daily work.

Equip your administrative professionals to use Copilot and Microsoft 365 more effectively, build repeatable AI-enabled workflows, reduce digital friction, and raise the quality and consistency of the support they provide. It builds confidence across mixed skill levels and creates productivity gains your team can apply right away.

Sessions and Overviews

Six Sessions. One Clear Path From Fundamentals to Agents.

Each session builds on the one before it. You’ll start with the Copilot skills every administrative professional needs and finish by building agents that carry more of your repeat work.

Choose the spring or fall series when you register. Both cover the same six sessions in the same order. Each series is sold as a bundle, and sessions can’t be purchased individually.

The AI PowerTask System

Turn scattered requests into a system you can actually control.

Scattered tasks are the bane of an administrative professional’s existence. Requests hide in texts, Outlook emails, Teams chats, calendars, meeting notes, transcripts, and handwritten lists, making follow-through incredibly difficult.

Outlook, Teams, Excel, and Forms

Learn where Copilot fits inside the Microsoft 365 tools you already use every day.

Embedded Copilot is powerful, but knowing where, when, and how to use it can be tricky, especially when prompts cannot always be saved.

  • Quickly summarize Outlook threads and Teams conversations
  • Transform Teams transcripts and recordings into proposals, plans, messages, action items, and executive recaps
  • Organize and rapidly revisit important meeting notes
  • Use Excel to find errors, remove duplicates, create formulas and functions, summarize data, and analyze sentiment

  • Apply practical workarounds for producing repeatable results

Spring: May 6, 2027  |  Fall: October 21, 2027

Notebooks, Create, and Pages

Move beyond basic chat and unlock powerful Copilot features that dramatically expand what you can confidently produce.

  • Use Copilot Notebooks to organize and develop complex information
  • Turn scattered content into polished resources with Copilot Pages
  • Use Create to produce professional graphics without advanced design skills
  • Build workflows for executive briefings, events, travel, presentations, and project updates
  • Adapt information for executives with different styles and preferences
  • Take on once-daunting assignments with greater speed, confidence, and creativity

Spring: May 13, 2027  |  Fall: October 28, 2027

Build the Future of Administrative Work

  • Build agents for executive communications, meeting preparation, travel planning, research, and request management
