52 COVER STORY We asked Microsoft partners how they are helping businesses to empower their workforces with generative AI Partner perspectives “Ascent’s structured, design-led AI framework empowers organisations to achieve more in less time. We collaboratively prioritise use cases by team impact, risk and complexity, run experiments to prove value, build data and cultural readiness and design roadmaps that accelerate delivery with pre-built AI architecture, agents and apps. This guided approach builds confidence, smooths adoption and drives results faster. Realworld examples include enabling a legal team to save more than £500,000 ($680,000) per month with AI-powered contract analysis, an analytics team to better interrogate customer data at a premium UK retailer, and a critical procurement team to transform cost-efficiency at a global food services leader.” “AI is promising to skyrocket productivity in the workforce, but what’s missing is a central place to effectively coordinate the work of both humans and AI to drive teamwork at scale. Asana’s work management platform, supercharged with AI and prebuilt workflows, is designed for a human and AI approach that combines employee oversight with AI efficiency. This is key to driving clarity, transparency and accountability across the business to not only elevate employees beyond tedious work, but also unlock real benefits such as greater productivity, reduced digital exhaustion and return on investment.” Saket Srivastava Chief Information Officer, Asana Murray Foxcroft Chief Technology Officer, Ascent
