Microsoft Copilot represents a significant per-user investment. Without visibility into usage, you might be paying for licenses that aren't being used — or missing opportunities to expand AI adoption where it's delivering value.
How to Audit Copilot Usage
1. Check Active Users: Use the Microsoft 365 admin center to see which users are actively using Copilot features.
2. Identify Power Users: Find the team members who use Copilot most. What are they doing? Can their workflows be replicated across the organization?
3. Identify Non-Users: If someone has a Copilot license but isn't using it, investigate why. They may need training — or the license may be better assigned elsewhere.
4. Measure Impact: Survey users on how Copilot has affected their productivity. Look for quantifiable time savings.
5. Optimize Licensing: Right-size your Copilot licenses based on actual usage data.
