Anthropic, OpenAI and Microsoft are competing for your AI budget. In this strategic course you compare Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot on what really matters: functionality, price, governance and fit with your organisation. Vendor-independent, hands-on and immediately applicable in your management team.
Description
In this one-day course you make a well-founded choice within the AI landscape. You compare the three largest platforms — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot — on functionality, price, governance and strategic fit. The set-up is vendor-independent, so you get an honest picture without a sales pitch for any one supplier.
You will work on selection criteria that suit your organisation and look in depth at data governance, Total Cost of Ownership and the differences between the platforms in practice. During a hands-on comparison you carry out the same business tasks in all three environments, so that you notice where the strengths and weaknesses lie.
In the second session you translate this into a concrete pilot approach, a change management route and a combined strategy in which several platforms can exist alongside each other. You end the day with a working document: your draft AI strategy, ready to discuss with your management team.
Topics
- The AI landscape: players, models, product lines and pricing models
- Anthropic Claude: strengths, weaknesses and ecosystem
- OpenAI ChatGPT: breadth, image generation, agents and price
- Microsoft 365 Copilot: integration with M365, Power Platform and tenant governance
- Hands-on comparison: the same business tasks in all three platforms
- Open-source alternatives and self-hosting: when to use them and when not
- Drawing up selection criteria that suit your organisation
- Data governance per platform: retention, EU/US and what stays inside
- Total Cost of Ownership: licences, training, change management and exit costs
- Pilot approach: scope, success criteria, evaluation and escalation
- Change management and adoption: roadmap, ambassadors and knowledge sharing
- Combination strategies: several platforms in parallel with a clear division of tasks
Result
You have a clear picture of the AI landscape and know how Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot compare in terms of functionality, price, governance and strategic fit. You go home with a draft AI strategy, comparison matrices and TCO templates.
Specifically, by the end you will be able to:
- Distinguishing the three major platforms in terms of functionality and price
- Drawing up selection criteria that suit your organisation and use cases
- Assessing data governance per platform in terms of retention, data region and tenant isolation
- Estimating Total Cost of Ownership including training, adoption and exit costs
- Setting up a pilot with a clear scope, success criteria and evaluation moments
- Explaining when a combination of platforms is smarter than a single choice
- Formulating a change management and adoption approach with ambassadors
- Assessing whether open source or self-hosting is a realistic alternative
- Presenting your AI strategy clearly to the management team, the board or stakeholders
Target audience
This course is intended for managers and policymakers who want to guide their organisation towards a well-founded AI choice. The approach is strategic and vendor-independent, so no sales pitch from any one of the providers.
The course is intended for:
- CIOs and IT managers who have to set the direction for AI policy
- Innovation managers and leads who are weighing up platforms against one another
- Training and HR managers who are thinking about adoption and training roadmaps
- Policy officers who draw up governance and compliance frameworks
- Consultants and advisers who support clients with AI implementations
- Board members responsible for digital strategy
Teaching method
You work for one course day in a small group of no more than 10 participants, either in the classroom or online. The course is built around an active alternation between overview, comparison and decision-making.
In the morning you gain a clear picture of the AI landscape and compare Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot hands-on by carrying out the same business tasks in all three platforms. This way you experience the differences in functionality, ease of use and output for yourself.
In the afternoon the focus shifts to your own organisation. You draw up selection criteria, map out data governance and Total Cost of Ownership, and work on a concrete pilot approach. Discussion, sparring with the trainer and exchanges with other participants play an important role.
You end the day with your own working document: a draft AI strategy that you can discuss straight away in your management team. You also receive a digital workbook with comparison matrices, TCO templates and a governance checklist, plus a certificate of attendance.
Prior knowledge
You have a management or policy role and understand at user level what generative AI does. In-depth technical knowledge is not required. The course is strategic in nature and set up independently of any vendor.
Comments
Bring a laptop on which you can work in the browser with Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot. Access to your corporate M365 tenant is useful, but not required.
In-company
Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.
Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.
Language
The training is given in Dutch as standard. The trainer has a good command of English. English-language course material can be used. With a minimum enrolment of 3 participants, the training can also be given entirely in English.
