要約

主要な所見
  • 生成AIへの期待は、デジタル・ワークプレース領域でも広がっている。従業員が日々の仕事で生産性を上げたり、効率化を進めたりするために貢献する日常型AI (エブリディAI) として、多くの企業がその導入の検討進めている

  • Copilot for Microsoft 365 (M365) は社内/社外の情報を幅広く利用可能であり、特に社内で埋もれているナレッジから価値を引き出す手段として、ユーザーの期待が高まっている

  • Microsoftやその代理店は、Copilot for M365のセキュリティについてのメッセージを発出しているが、ユーザー企業側のセキュリティの成熟度や担当者の感度の違いで、解釈に違いが生じやすい。

推奨事項
  • Copilot for M365は従業員の働き方を変えるさまざまな機会をもたらすが、中でもナレッジ共有、コンテンツ生成、デジタル・デクステリティ向上の3つの機会に注目する。ただし、生成AIは技術的に進化の過程にあるため、成果の評価は、1年や2年といった余裕を持った時間枠で行う。

  • Copilot for M365におけるセキュリティでは、これまでの取り組みと異なり従業員が主体的に実行するものが増えることになる。そのための準備は容易ではなく、多くの時間を要するという点について、Copilot for M365検討の初期段階から社内の課題認識の統一を図る。

  • デジタル・ワークプレース領域における生成AIを適切に利用するために、ガバナンス主導する組織 (センター・オブ・エクセレンス:COE) を立ち上げ、ポリシーやルール策定を急ぐ。また、この組織は、ビジネス部門でCopilot for M365を実践するコミュニティ (CoP) と連携を取りながら、従業員の仕事に効果を生み出すための、より効果的な使い方や機能の普及を促進する役割も担う。
