Best ways of recruiting champions within your organization. Any success stories?

CG-1717Look for the people in the different areas of the organization you are targeting who are the "go to" people when someone in that group has a problem and needs help. There are always people in organizations who seem to have the pulse on things, know where to send you to get the answers you need, or seem like they know how to do everything that everyone in their team does. Those people are your champions. You need to identify them, talk to them, and show them how O365 will not only benefit them, but also their network of employees. They will be the ones who will encourage others to use the tools that are available. They will also be the ones to help you understand what features will be the right ones to use to show different groups what they will get out of using this new system. Whether they like technology or new systems or not, they will be all about helping everyone else be successful and therefore will be some of your greatest champions.
