Ideas to get all internal Digital Champions together
Kirsty_McGrath_MVP thank you very much for your response. Great suggestions, especially focusing on quick wins.
When we established the community, we just installed Microsoft Teams, which was a big focus area for our champions. They have received several demonstrations (I can't call these sessions 'training') by Microsoft about the various MS Teams functionality.
We continued with Microsoft demonstrations throughout the year on a monthly basis, covering topics selected by our champions. This gave us insight into functionality we didn't know existed in common tools, such as PPT, etc..
We also trialled the Champions platform with a group of volunteers but received the feedback that this requires too much manual work (tracking 'events'). Have you been using the Champions platform and what is your experience?
If you organised such a Champions day in the past, did you include Microsoft trainers/speakers or did you keep the day internal?
Thanks again. You input is much appreciated.
As for Champs Days, I ran these for both Microsoft as the specialist, bought in Microsoft also as resources and ran personally as part of my business. Running with internals is more successful as it’s someone they trust, that knows the tools and challenges etc. But, having externals also can give different industry insights on how others do it. Running different workshops for different reasons gives variety that Champs love.
