Ideas to get all internal Digital Champions together
Great thread... I wanted to add that when I ran the internal User Group at Microsoft monthly we always tried to highlight "new" features (whether new or not) based on a business scenario that people in the Champion team could relate too. Too often we train on the "tech" without connecting it to the business. So we'd highlight "How to Run a Marketing Campaign" or "Communicating your Wins with SharePoint News" and then provide some handouts. As the leader of the group it was my teams responsibility to figure this stuff out but we had help by asking each of the Champions to present things they'd learned. That helped us keep it fresh, gave people speaking experience and built trust among the members so they would speak up more readily.
Another thing is that there is no substitute for setting a good example in how you use the tech yourself. If you aren't using Whiteboard, PowerPoint Live, Video embeds or SharePoint News - start now. Also lots of first party apps to embed in Teams like Forms and Polls to "show by doing"
Lastly, if you are in person - never underestimate the power of FOOD or SWAG at a meeting. Even something inexpensive like stickers is great. Worked for me every time 🙂 Good luck and tell us how it went!
