Awareness Project Plan Sample

End User Training Look to Experts

End User TrainingIn-person In-context

End-user trainingTraining end users

Who are you training?

What is their role in the organization? What are some of the tasks they perform?

Where do users perform these tasks? On a mobile device? In the office using a workstation?

When do users perform these tasks? When do they need access to the tools? When should training be completed?

How integrated is the tool set in day-to-day activities? How might organizational policies be affected by the integration of the new tool set (sharing documents, storing files, collaborating with external partners, using email attachments)?

should take on multiple forms to accommodate different learning styles, geographical barriers, and resource constraints. You’ll want to develop a comprehensive training plan that takes into account the technologies being rolled out, the core tasks your audience will need to learn, and the available training budget.Most likely, you’ll have multiple audiences to serve with your trainings so it’s important to consider:

Expert Opinions & GuidanceThere is great information out in the world that exists through sites like IT Unity.com and Microsoft MVP or influencers websites. They have been working on user adoption a long time and their best practices are excellent. Sue Hanley, Jennifer Mason, Robert Bogue, Penelope Coventry

Make it Fun - Gamification

Measure, Share, Iterate

Make it fun (buck the company culture)Use an online scavenger hunt as a fun way to encourage usageProvide recognition for content contribution or usage

Gamification

Launch & engagement eventsLaunch day tips:

Host a large-scale launch event, such as a company all-hands or town hall style meeting, in which the executive sponsor and rollout team can officially introduce Office 365 and discuss the value proposition.

Throughout the event, have champions actively engage with the audience to answer questions, address concerns, and encourage the use of Office 365.

Create a Yammer group and point users there to continue the conversation and help consolidate information that is captured.

Organize contests, scavenger hunts, prizes, and giveaways that require people to interact with the Office 365 tools.

Have t-shirts printed for champions to wear on launch day for a unified and recognizable look.

Display printed materials to raise awareness about the day’s activities and showcase the most exciting Office 365 features.

To maximize results, use a variety of tacticsConsider a mix of these activities to maximize impact and adoption.

including internal announcements or newsletters, is critical to driving adoption, as it informs and inspires users about the new technology and helps create a natural “buzz” or excitement.

Communications

such as parties, town hall meetings, contests, and giveaways, can help further momentum and encourage employees to start interacting with the new tools. Events should require users to interact with Office 365, so that they can experience the value first hand.

Engagement events

which can vary from classroom-style sessions to self-help getting started guides, is essential to ensure that employees understand how to actually use the new technologies to get their work done.

Training

Keep in mind that the more communications, events, and training sessions that you organize, the more likely your colleagues will engage with Office 365 during your launch and afterward.

Measure Share Success and Iterate

Broaden EngagementCreate SurveysListen to Issues and Pivot on Them

Define your success criteria

As you draft your success criteria, use the SMART mnemonic to guide you:

Specific: Clear & unambiguous; answers the questions, “What, why, who, where?”Measurable: Concrete; clearly demonstrates progress.

Attainable: Realistic; not extreme.

Relevant: Matters to stakeholders.Timely: Grounded to a specific target date; answers the question, “When?”

When you developyour ideal business scenarios and solutions, it’s critical to come up with a formal set of success criteria to measure the impact resulting from your Office 365 rollout. You’ll need to determine what should be measured, and how you will go about collecting both quantitative and qualitative data.

We recommendthat you choose criteria that will help you showcase success to leadership, such as user satisfaction, employee engagement, adoption velocity, and figures related to your desired business scenarios.
