Greetings, friends!
I'm leading the launch of a new Champions program in our organization. We are an academic department supporting the adoption of Teams and Sharepoint to foster community in our globally distributed graduate student community.
I'm about to hold our kick-off meeting. The recommendations are to "build skills in your champion community...bring them on board, conduct their initial training, encourage them to attend our courses, and make sure they are ready to support (colleagues) as they move forward in the experimentation phase."
My ask: Can anyone share agenda items they used in their Champions kick-off meeting? What did you decide to cover? How did it go? If you held your kick-off all over again, what would you do differently?
Much appreciation for your thoughts!

@J_o_h_n Here are some ideas that we are kicking around to use in our Champions Kick-off meeting - yet to be held. We are a large organization with a geographically dispersed group of Champions who don't yet know each other.

@Dean Virag, thank you! Sounds like you're going to emphasize training some. Did you envision running some training in subsequent Champions meetings or pointing folks to existing videos, etc.?
I could see polling the group to gauge more about what they want to learn first and focus on that in a meeting. Some of the other topics may be best left to independent learning.

@J_o_h_n .. Yes we will probably be having a training topic in every one of our monthly meetings. Here are some ideas that we are thinking about for Champion Training:
Champions can also request topics in the Teams conversation.
Hope this helps!!
