When Lumen Technologies was tasked with creating a website, brochure, and social media posts for a product within 40 minutes, they turned to Microsoft Copilot to spark quick creativity and launched the inaugural “Copilot Olympics.” This event tasked employees with using the AI-powered productivity tool to help with everything from creating images to developing product concepts, and has now expanded to an event across Lumen’s 250-person marketing department. “Copilot fit Lumen’s vision of digital transformation, supporting our company culture around growth, collaboration and customer obsession,” says Ryan Asdourian, executive vice president and chief marketing officer. Beyond fostering team collaboration and a little workplace fun, the Copilot Olympics has motivated Lumen’s staff to use it more broadly turning it from a traditional telecom to a technology company.

Chief Diversity Officer and Corporate Vice President of Talent Development | Microsoft
Last week media coverage inaccurately implied that Microsoft's corporate D&I team was eliminated. While the situation has been clarified, it does strike me that concern around the company's ongoing commitment to D&I is important to address. Since I happen to be passing my 6-year mark at the company, I've been reflecting on all Microsoft has done in this space up to this moment, and all we still need to do ahead. When I first arrived at Microsoft, I spent time in our archives to learn about our D&I history, which is robust. Even Microsoft’s original mission required a commitment to diversity and inclusion—because it is different perspectives, skill sets, and lived experiences that give us the empathy and insights necessary to envision and build products that serve customers and consumers in transformational ways around the world. In the decades since, our focus on D&I has informed our policies, partnerships, and product innovation. Year over year, we have been disciplined and systemic in how we do this work, to deliver progress over time. This next fiscal year our focus includes continuing to execute D&I and talent management best practices that we know deliver business outcomes as well as investing in net new opportunities to support skills and career growth. A few examples include: ✔ Driving greater access to skilling and career opportunities for Microsoft employees at all levels through intentional talent management and cross-company experiences such as our premier global career event ✔ Ensuring each one of us at Microsoft is accountable for our D&I progress, individually through our D&I Core Priority, as managers and leaders through inclusive hiring and executive accountability, and collectively through companywide opportunities such as D&I learning and our global ERG Engage event that helps us move together from insights to action ✔ Continuing to anchor our product innovation to inclusion, as we have done with self-expression in Microsoft 365 and accessibility in Copilot, M365, and Azure AI ✔ Transparently sharing our progress, and our opportunities, around increasing representation and strengthening our culture of inclusion this coming Q2 in our Global Diversity & Inclusion Report As we embark on our 50th year at Microsoft, with one of the most inclusive missions in the industry, let’s remember who we have always been. Succeeding at our mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more requires inviting in different perspectives and lived experiences to Microsoft so we can innovate and deliver aligned to our ambition. Each of us doing our best work depends on us collectively creating the conditions for all employees at Microsoft to thrive. The world is counting on Microsoft to apply all we know about diversity and inclusion to realize an AI-enabled future that includes everyone. The work is not done, and we remain committed to push ahead for progress together.

Health systems spend an estimated $65 billion each year on medical imaging and approximately 80% of all hospital and health system visits include at least one imaging exam related to more than 23,000 conditions. With imaging playing such a crucial role in healthcare, we’re proud to share that Microsoft is collaborating with Mass General Brigham and the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, along with its partnering health system UW Health to advance AI in medical imaging and help improve workflow efficiency and health outcomes across the radiology ecosystem. These collaborations will focus on advancing the development of high-performing multimodal AI foundation models in medical imaging to empower the healthcare industry to create a vast array of medical imaging copilot applications that deliver meaningful impact for patients and providers alike. As the industry witnesses rapid advancements of generative AI within radiology, we recognize an even greater responsibility to prioritize patient privacy and build systems that are guided by Microsoft’s Responsible AI principles. Learn more about how Microsoft is working with these health systems to help deliver more accessible and better-quality patient care in a very resource-constrained environment. https://lnkd.in/dQciH5yE #MicrosoftAI #HealthcareInnovation #PatientCare #DigitalHealth

I’m glad we don’t have to fill out 20 pages of registrations anymore, that we’re going to the 21st century.” — Garrett Utz, Special Olympics Athlete Discover how the Special Olympics is using technology to grow their movement and nurture inclusion: https://msft.it/6041ln3p3
