Classroom-based, instructor-led Microsoft Teams for large and dispersed companies
- Oct 10, 2019
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.
Chris Blackstone we have used online training for our organization (30K) and a site on our Digital Workplace with link to the Microsoft training videos. On this site we have also tried to guide people on how and for what they should use Teams for. The duration of the training's are 1 hour where we go through the basics for app 40 minutes and then people can ask questions in the Skype Chat or Teams Chat depending on where we do the training. If you don't have time for participating we have recording a training and shared it via our site
