Mastering Copilot Feels Just Like Playing the Piano — Here’s Why

Microsoft Copilot is an incredible tool. Yet, in my work with clients (I’ve probably taught Copilot in some form to nearly 50 different companies), I continue to be surprised at how most organisations are overlooking this opportunity to transform their business processes. 
It might seem difficult to believe that, in 2021, only 25% of jobs in technology were held by women. Such a small percentage shows that women are still grossly underrepresented in this vital and continually growing industry. Whether the issue is a lack of women with education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects or archaic attitudes in hiring practices, there is a serious…
Cyber risk is a growing threat to organisations of all shapes and sizes. Cyber risk quantification allows organisations to better understand the financial impact that these risks pose; however, setting the scope of quantification activities and clearly articulating their outputs can be a challenge. Recently, Protiviti teamed up with the FAIR Institute to review how organisations can implement key Factor Analysis of…

Motivated by multiple drivers, enterprises across nearly all industries are increasingly embracing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), enhancing efficiency, profitability, customer experience, and improving evidence-based decision making. Ever-increasing volumes of available data, both structured and unstructured, combined with ongoing innovations in the software and infrastructure…
Companies face multiple threats as the security landscape continues to evolve. But how can they get to grips with the cyber risks they face and a record number of data breaches? Taken together, all areas of risk and security are essential in modern businesses: from IT and physical systems to cybersecurity and personal protection. But if they aren’t implemented correctly, they all have the potential to cause problems…
Gemma Sullivan has a full-time job and a full house. With a seven-year-old, five-year-old, and two-year-old boys twins, managing an effective work-life balance could be a challenge. But, working at Protiviti, she’s been able to balance work and home demands and made it work for everyone, including herself. “I’ve had a really positive experience,” Gemma said. “It’s been different since I’ve taken numerous bouts of…
Protiviti appreciates the need for work-life balance among working parents. As such, we offer a competitive Parental Leave programme and the Protiviti Parents Network to support parents and soon-to-be parents working for our organisation. The Protiviti Parents Network focuses on the blend of work and family for new and experienced parents. The network meets regularly in local groups to empower working parents to…
The Potential of Machine Learning (ML) to deliver value to banks has created something of a gold rush in adopting this methodology for banking applications. ML can produce immense benefits when applied to complex nonlinear problems where there is a large amount of data, particularly unstructured data. Use cases for incorporating machine learning in banking include asset management, fraud detection, credit risk…
As corporations are trying to return to some semblance of “normal,” whatever that definition may look like now, and are concurrently dealing with the lingering impacts of a global pandemic and implementing digital transformation, many challenges face the C-suite. Putting people and culture and how to adapt to the significant changes that have taken place in the workforce since 2020 may very well be at the top of…
