Even with the most well-architected, well-designed SharePoint solution, there is no guarantee that users will be jumping over themselves to use it! And, since you only just convinced your organization to migrate to SharePoint 2010, what do you do now that we’ve got yet another release of SharePoint to get our users to adopt? SharePoint provides a convenient and personalized way for your employees to find the information and tools they need to be more productive and it’s even better now and solves even more business problems. However, as great SharePoint is, it comes with a unique challenge: you often have to convince users to give it a try! Your users have other options for accomplishing many of the tasks SharePoint 2013 enables, even if some of these options are “sub-optimal.”

In this presentation, you will learn the key elements of an effective user adoption plan through numerous case studies and fun and engaging examples of how a variety of organizations have successfully deployed their SharePoint solutions.

You will learn:

  • Critical elements for user adoption planning
  • Best practices for communications plans
  • Practical examples of adoption approaches that really work
