The Challenge
How Work Actually Happens is Rarely Written Down
Every organisation has a picture in its head of how its processes work. Neat diagrams and documented procedures that detail how things are supposed to run. But the reality is almost always messier than the picture.
Processes rarely follow the tidy flowchart. People find shortcuts and build workarounds, and plenty of processes were never written down at all. What that leaves is a gap between how you think work happens and how it actually happens. Most of that real, day-to-day detail lives in people’s heads or written down once in a Teams chat, where it’s hard to see and easy to lose.
That gap matters more now than it used to. Low-code tools and AI have lowered the barrier to building things, which is good news – but it also means more unofficial processes are taking shape across businesses, often without anyone capturing them. At the same time, there are now far better ways to handle the old manual routines that still run on email threads and spreadsheets.
To take advantage of either, you first need a clear view of how the work really runs today.
That’s what the AI Process Discovery Accelerator is built to give you. Over four to six weeks, we use Copilot and AI to capture how your processes actually work – through lightweight recordings rather than weeks of workshops – and turn them into a clean, structured Process Knowledge Base in SharePoint. It closes the gap between the diagram and the reality, and leaves you with a foundation your team can search, reuse and build on.
What’s Included?
Phase 1: AI-Assisted Discovery
We capture how the work really happens, quickly. Minimal workshops, maximum reality.
Lightweight Process Recordings
Real captures of how work happens, through screen walkthroughs, short narrations, and conversations with the people doing the work. Designed to surface the workarounds and exceptions the documented process misses.
AI Assisted Analysis
Phase 2: Process Mapping Your Team Can Actually Use
We turn what we’ve captured into clear, reusable maps with a permanent home.
Human-Readable Process Maps
A SharePoint Process Knowledge Base
Phase 3: Copilot & Automation Readiness
We prepare each process for what comes next, so you know where to start.

Capture More Processes, Faster
A Knowledge Base That Doesn’t Go Stale
A Foundation Copilot Can Read
Ownership, Not Shelfware
Who It’s For
This accelerator is built for IT, digital workplace, operations and process-owning teams who:
- Have heard ‘we need to be ready for AI’ but aren’t sure what that means for their processes
- Are tired of process documentation going out of date the day it’s written
- Are planning to deploy Copilot or build Copilot Studio agents, and need the underlying processes ready
- Have processes that mostly live in people’s heads, and want to change that before someone leaves
- Need to capture more processes than a workshop-led discovery can practically cover
- Want a permanent, reusable foundation – not a one-off deliverable
You don’t need to know which processes to capture first. Pick a handful that matter most, and we’ll work out the rest together.
What You Need to Know
Built around your Microsoft 365 tenant – your Process Knowledge Base lives in your SharePoint, accessible to your team and Copilot agents from day one.
Four to six weeks, fixed price.
Light on workshops, heavy on real-world capture. We work around the people doing the work, not the other way around
Microsoft funding may be available to offset the cost of discovery. Get in touch and we’ll let you know if you’re eligible.
