Who this is for
For technical leaders, solution architects, IT managers, and HR-tech sponsors who learn best by walking through a real build.
How this course works
- 8 audio-narrated slide chapters · ~36 min of focused content
- Narrated by Emma (Azure neural voice)
- Capstone with interactive Markdown builder you take to your team
- Trust trip-wires on every play — what not to cross
- Free verifiable certificate on completion
What you'll walk out with
Specific outcomes from this course — no fluff.
- The impact × feasibility filter that picks the right first use case — and the three exciting use cases this team consciously skipped
- Stack Fit Assessment across Azure OpenAI + Copilot Studio + Dataverse with three integration gotchas that only surface at pilot scale
- Two grounding patterns (policy doc + HRIS data) with row-level security tested cross-role before launch
- The 5+1+1 hybrid conversation flow that shipped — and why the earlier 50-topic prototype failed
- Weekly iteration cycle that caught two pre-launch hallucinations on real HR ticket data
- Three-cohort four-week pilot rollout with four kill criteria signed by HR + IT + Legal pre-launch
- The week-4-to-8 adoption playbook — four interventions and three adoption signals that predicted sustained 50% usage
- Five lessons from the build + four trust trip-wires + interactive build-plan builder

Welcome
A 1-minute orientation — what the course covers, how to navigate, and what you walk out with. No audio on this screen.
The starting situation
Impact × feasibility filter · 3 use cases consciously skipped · the boring one that shipped.
Stack Fit Assessment
3-layer fit (model + orchestration + data) · 3 integration gotchas at pilot scale · "why not" alternatives.
Architecture and grounding
2 grounding patterns (policy doc + HRIS data) · RLS tested cross-role · mixing patterns in one query.
Building the conversation flow
Earlier 50-topic prototype failure · 5+1 hybrid that shipped · multilingual handling (En + Hi + Ar + Tl).
Evaluation and iteration
Eval set from 150 real HR tickets · weekly iteration cycle · 2 hallucinations caught pre-launch.
Pilot rollout
3-cohort 4-week sequence · 4 kill criteria signed by HR + IT + Legal pre-launch · what actually happened.
Adoption playbook
Week-4 cliff · 4 interventions (weekly tips · manager toolkits · feature releases · transparency) · 3 adoption signals.
Capstone — Lessons learned
5 lessons from this build · 4 trust trip-wires · interactive build-plan builder.
