peer leadership

Peer leadership is a recurring theme in Microsoft's enterprise AI adoption strategy, as seen in the Microsoft Copilot Expo program. This three-week virtual skilling campaign used peer leadership alongside role-specific training and gamified incentives to drive daily use of Microsoft 365 Copilot tools. The approach built on earlier initiatives like Camp Copilot and the Copilot Champs community, leveraging social learning through Viva Engage and professional badges to create a repeatable template for scaling AI proficiency across organizations. Peer leadership here refers to employees who informally guide and motivate colleagues, complementing formal training with hands-on, community-driven support.
