SalesTable-Leadership Engagement Framework
The document presents a Leadership Engagement Framework designed to guide IT’s structured conversations with LIIF leaders ahead of a company‑wide Microsoft Copilot rollout. Its purpose is to surface leader needs, opportunities, concerns, and potential champions to ensure a responsible, high‑impact AI adoption. The framework outlines a three‑part engagement approach (explain vision, listen, shape rollout) executed over four phases: initial leadership listening sessions, a two‑week Copilot Ambassador pilot, refinement of the rollout plan, and phased team training. Leaders are asked a set of nine targeted question groups covering personal AI perspective, Copilot awareness, department readiness, sponsorship willingness, influence mapping, governance & risk perception, value metrics, future AI vision, and a core strategic question about workload reduction. Classification matrices translate responses into leader profiles (advocate, skeptic, etc.) and sponsorship levels (Executive Champion, Active Sponsor, etc.). An executive summary dashboard scores each leader across dimensions such as personal interest, Copilot knowledge, sponsorship potential, change readiness, governance comfort, innovation mindset, and department opportunity, producing segment bands (AI Champion, Strong Sponsor, Neutral Observer, Skeptical Stakeholder). The framework also defines an ambassador program, governance guardrails, and a stakeholder influence map. An appendix lists current outreach targets with names, titles, reporting size, level, and functional teams. The overall goal is to create a prepared organization that can adopt Copilot responsibly, identify early use cases, mitigate risks, and align AI initiatives with LIIF’s business priorities.
