Recently, Microsoft conducted a study of more than 1,300 early Copilot adopters across multiple industries to discover what their early behaviors could teach them about the good and bad effects of adopting and rolling out AI. Read this blog post for an analysis of what "the 11-by-11 tipping point" means for your Copilot users in terms of improved productivity, work enjoyment, work-life balance and the ability to attend fewer meetings.

What is the 11-by-11 tipping point?
The 11-by-11 tipping point refers to the time it takes for users to start seeing value from AI tools like Copilot. Our research indicates that saving just 11 minutes a day is enough for most people to recognize the usefulness of AI. Additionally, after 11 weeks of consistent use, users report improvements in productivity, work enjoyment, work-life balance, and fewer meetings.
How much time can users save with AI?
Users can expect to save an average of 14 minutes a day when using AI tools, with the most efficient users saving up to 30 minutes daily. Over the course of a month, this translates to nearly five hours for the average user and 10 hours for the most efficient, which is equivalent to one full work week saved each year.
How can organizations encourage AI adoption?
Organizations can encourage AI adoption by identifying quick wins that save at least 11 minutes a day, such as using AI to summarize meetings or draft job descriptions. It's also important to support employees in using AI consistently for at least 11 weeks to help them form a habit. Leadership should model this behavior by actively using AI themselves.
