Organizational change management is one of the most overlooked and under-planned parts of many SharePoint implementations. You simply cannot afford to ignore the importance of this topic. Successful organizational change management is a critical component to ensuring the success of any SharePoint initiative. In this class, we will discuss field-proven tactics to help your users make sense of the change that your SharePoint solution will inevitably bring into their daily work lives. You will learn a user adoption framework and some factors you should consider when planning your next SharePoint initiative. We will challenge the mindset that adoption can be driven, and embrace the concept of designing change for long-term sustainable cultural acceptance. By attending this class, you will be able to: Design your own organizational change-management strategy Understand how to foster user adoption Understand how to engage and build solution champions Build a communication plan Apply field-tested strategies in your organization

52. • Write a “Dear John” letter saying goodbye to
your old solution (ie. Intranet for example)
• Share those letters company wide

• Publish them on your current intranet
• Run a contest and let others vote and pick their
favorite
• Share via social media (ie. Yammer/Sitrion)
• Pay attention to what people say this will
give you insight into what their hopes are for
the future solution

to upgrade/migration

• You can have “weigh ins” if desired
• Share via social media (ie. Yammer/Sitrion)
• At the end have a “Biggest Loser” celebration
