Start with the problem

Then find the tool

Create a pilot project

Have a well thought out proposal

Build in evaluation from the start

Maybe...Do it in your own time

Think of it as an investment in your employability / skills

The “go to” person

This may be you...

....but there will be others

What do they do to keep up?

Can you get them on side ?

The “it will never work” person

Hope this isn’t you

Listen to them

Can you get them on side ?

Ask your users to co-create
