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 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 half of the day you translate this into a concrete pilot approach, a change management route and a combined strategy in which several platforms can exist side by side. You finish 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.

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

You do not need any deep technical background.

Anyone who has never worked with ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot may find the pace hard to follow.

You will learn how Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot compare in terms of functionality, price, governance and strategic fit.

Change management, adoption and combination strategies are also covered.

Do you receive a certificate after the AI Strategy: Comparing and Choosing Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot course?
Yes, afterwards you will receive a certificate of participation from Learnit. It is proof that you have completed the course and a useful addition to your LinkedIn profile or internal portfolio.
Which working methods and materials are used in the AI Strategy: Comparing and Choosing Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot course?
You work in a small group of no more than 10 participants, alternating between short knowledge blocks, hands-on assignments in the three platforms and strategic discussions. You receive a digital workbook with comparison matrices, TCO templates, a pilot approach and a governance checklist that you can put to use in your organisation straight away.
Is the AI strategy course: comparing and choosing between Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot vendor-independent?
Yes, that is the starting point. Learnit does not sell licences for Claude, ChatGPT or Microsoft 365 Copilot and has no partner interest in any of the providers. You get an honest comparison of strengths, weaknesses, price and governance, so that you make a choice based on what suits your organisation best.
How do you apply the AI Strategy: Comparing and Choosing Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot course in your own organisation?
You go home with a draft AI strategy, completed selection criteria and a TCO estimate for the platforms that are relevant to you. You can discuss these straight away in your management team or steering group. You can use the pilot approach and governance checklist to start an initial implementation with a clear scope and measurable success criteria.
What is the difference with Learnit's other AI courses?
Where courses such as 'Working with ChatGPT' or 'Copilot for Microsoft 365' are aimed at users who want to work more effectively with a specific tool, here you take the strategic perspective. You compare platforms at organisational level and work on policy, governance and TCO. This course is therefore not a course in using the tools, but a course in making decisions, aimed at managers and policymakers.
Is the AI Strategy: Comparing and Choosing Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot course also suitable for the public sector?
Yes, the comparison is particularly valuable for government bodies, educational institutions and healthcare organisations. Topics such as data region (EU versus US), retention, tenant isolation and compliance receive a good deal of attention. Policy officers and CIOs from the public sector can bring in their own frameworks and test them against what the platforms do and do not support.
How does the AI strategy: comparing and choosing between Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot course deal with data governance and privacy?
Data governance is one of the core topics. For each platform you look at where data is processed and stored, which retention applies, how tenant isolation works and what does and does not happen with your input. You compare the consumer and enterprise versions and assess what fits your compliance frameworks, such as the GDPR or sector-specific requirements. This allows you to make a choice that is also legally defensible.
