What if you could turn 30 minutes of manual work into just a few minutes of strategic review?
That’s exactly what happened when Eric Miller, one of E&I’s AI Champions, used Microsoft Copilot to streamline weekly executive updates for the Tariff Task Force. Instead of manually aggregating data from spreadsheets and surveys, Eric crafted a prompt that enabled Copilot to generate a polished, insight-rich summary, complete with high-level trends and business partner-specific insights.
This isn’t just about saving time (though the 83% efficiency gain is impressive). It’s about freeing up our people to focus on what matters most: making decisions, not wrangling with data.
Whether you’re just starting your AI learning journey or already experimenting with prompts, this is a great example of how a well-structured prompt can unlock real value. You’ll see how Copilot:
- Pulled together insights from multiple data sources
- Organized them into a clear, executive-ready format
- Empowered Eric to quickly review and refine the output
👉 Curious how it works? Check out this reference guide to see the exact prompt and Copilot-generated output. It’s a practical, real-world example you can learn from or even adapt for your own team.
Let’s keep learning, experimenting, and sharing. Every prompt is a step forward on our AI journey.
Best,
Doug
