Teams adoption
romana240thanks for the message. Yes this is my background working in change management, adoption and learning and development. I work for a Microsoft partner calledhttp://www.adoptandembrace.com and this is exactly the type of work and typical of situations we come across on a daily basis. We help companies to look at ways to help, support, empower their workforce to use these tools within their daily work flow. It's not about forcing anyone to do anything - it's about an empathetic understanding of their business and how work flows between all the people, the systems they use, the processes they have, the knowledge, skills, capabilities and motivations of the workers to change and adopt to new system. It's also an awareness of the culture and political environment and sensitivities in the workplace. If you can identify a business case to pilot your product and evaluate it against some tangible business goals then you're more likely to see success - and support and sponsorship by business managers for it.
Hi romana240 !
You are very wise to reach out to the community to ask others who have done this before. @Helen Blunden is absolutely right that you should focus on the business and business outcomes. Once you have decided to go ahead with your Teams adoption, it can help to provide your users with training that is not just educational - but also inspirational and motivational. We help a lot of companies with this through our video-based storytelling to drive adoption of Teams and Office 365 (and can provide it as a service right from within Teams). You can have a look at our web site storyals.com or feel free to connect with me directly to set up an online meeting for a demo. 🙂 /Ulrika
Thank you Ulrika_Hedlund for your reply.
It seems that I've got a business case to build :). I have several internal users who have adopted it; that was my initial idea. Once I've had time to prepare a decent a company-wide proposal, I will be able to move forward with the initiative.
In the meantime, let me know what would work for you to setup an online demo.
