Who is Chris Bortlik?


Part 1: The Challenge of Adoption


• Connecting SharePoint to Biz Goals – Users want to see the connection

– Outcomes, not requirements

• Elegant Solution Design – Don’t make users go through five screens to do one task

– Example: Tagging instead of folders

• ‘WIIFM’ – “What’s in it for me?” – users want to understand what they get

out of using the system (why they have to add metadata, for example)

What Users Want


Part 2: Must-Have Elements to Your Adoption Strategy


1. Communication Plan

2. Training Plan

3. Content Conversion Plan

4. User Support Plan

5. Incentives and Reward Plan

6. Executive Sponsorship Plan

7. Information Architecture Plan

Must-Have Elements


• Frequent – CEO Blogs – Town Hall Meetings – Posters

• Fun – Online Scavenger Hunts – Portal Naming Contest

• Two-way – Survey/Feedback – Polls

Communications Plan – KMA Best Practices


• WIIFM – saving time – One Stop Shop – Collaboration

• Have a Fantastic User Experience – Invest in an information

architecture

• Taking away the alternatives – File shares – Email Attachments

Incentives and Reward Plan – KMA Best Practices


Part 3: Find Your Killer Application


• A = V > C

• Adoption = Value > Change

The Magic Formula for Adoption


• Make people want to use SharePoint

– Remember – most times they have a choice

Hint: just using SharePoint as a file share replacement is not a good reason

• Make SharePoint part of some critical business process/flow

– So they need to use SharePoint

• Remember the adoption curve & tipping point mentioned earlier?

Why Killer Applications Matter?


• Internal User/Focus Groups

• User Champions

• Executive Sponsors

• Surveys

• Understand the Challenges

– Just because you build it, doesn’t mean they will come

– Adoption won’t happen magically (even though you want it to)

– Users of SharePoint have jobs & other options to get their work done (e.g. email)

• Have a Plan

– Not having a plan is planning to fail

– Use one or more angles (communication, training, user support, etc)

– Break SharePoint rollout phases down into smaller chunks to help people absorb it

– Plan for continual long term engagement

• Training & Communication Planning is Key

– Use the great resources out there

– Many are free
