Classroom-based, instructor-led Microsoft Teams for large and dispersed companies

Chris Blackstone highly recommend a Champions network, built from multiple business units, across all regions, and strong visible leadership support. Microsoft did not have the training we needed, so we have a small in-house adoption team. We got them going with the hands-on training and AMA sessions, built the knowledge, developed use cases per area based on their feedback, and then did a full roll out. We had a learning hub for information which links back to the specific apps which plug into Teams. Teams is intuitive for a jump start, and then you need to Level Up - focus on your use cases and how you can help people solve specific issues, or template things. Depending on your demographic, gamification + swag has worked well.
Hi Chris
We have offered classroom or a screen sharing conference call training and then we produced webinars or mini webinars showing how to do each different step so people could look at what they needed to instead of having to sit through the whole lot again and if people couldn't attend they have the webinars to sit and look through when they have the time. It has worked well and the webinars are referred to quite often in the beginning and now by new starters.
