At Prosperity 24/7, we are dedicated to helping your business stay secure and productive, enabling you to focus on achieving long-term success. The Better Business Grant (BBG) is a fund of £5.3 million open to Jersey businesses of all sizes and sectors looking to increase their efficiency, upgrade or adopt new technologies, and improve overall business performance.
Jersey Business has identified a significant decline in workforce productivity, with a drop of as much as 30% since 1998. To address this challenge, they have embraced technology as a key solution. When Microsoft announced in January 2024 the availability of its generative AI tool, Copilot for Microsoft 365, to businesses of all sizes, Jersey Business were eager to be early adopters. Now, they are facilitating the Better Business Support Package (BBSP) to allow other local businesses to do the same.
Understanding how your employees work and identifying which processes need improvement are crucial steps in implementing new technology effectively. Our people-first approach ensures that technology is not only adopted, but successfully embedded into your business. If you’re unsure of how to proceed, or are interested in how AI can support your growth, our team of experts are here to help.
Our Microsoft Copilot readiness service offering provide a strategic assessment of how Copilot can be integrated into your business to enhance productivity. This includes evaluating technical readiness, strategy and change management. According to the Jersey Business productivity survey, adopting new technology and AI is the top priority among respondents for improving productivity over the next 12 months. Embracing automation and technology is frequently cited as the ‘top tip’ for boosting productivity.
