Your company approved Microsoft Copilot. ONLY Copilot 🙃.
Yes, I know, it's integrated with Microsoft, IT trusts it (with their SOUL), security and compliance are covered. For a lot of tasks, it does the job.

But I keep seeing the same pattern: one tool approved becomes… that's our AI strategy. And people end up working around limitations instead of actually building something that works for them.

I'm currently designing a training for someone in exactly this situation. Copilot is the official tool (Copilot, the basic one...), but some tasks genuinely need something else. So instead of training them on one tool, I'm building a personal system, when to use what, how to combine tools deliberately, and crucially: what information should NEVER leave the company's approved environment. Because "use Anthropic Claude for this and Copilot for that" is incomplete advice if data risk isn't part of the conversation.

What makes this specific? this person wants to learn Claude for personal use, and Copilot for work, but the company never provided proper training. So I tested their day-to-day myself, understood their actual workflows, and built the training around that. Not around the tool. Around THEM.

This is how I build every training. Not "here's how this tool works" but "here's a workflow that fits your role, your restrictions, and what you actually need to get done." The tool choice comes last, not first.

Most people don't need more AI tools. They need a clearer system for the ones they already have access to.

⁉️ Does your company restrict which AI tools you can use? How are you navigating that?

PS: Every training I deliver is built from scratch for the person in front of me. Never a generic deck 🙂
