Is Your Microsoft 365 Setup Really Ready for AI?

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.
