Agenda
9. • A McKinsey Study examined 40 projects and reviewed the
Organizational Change Management (OCM) effect on their Return on
Investment (ROI).
• ROI was 35% when there was poor or no OCM in place
• ROI was 143% when there was an excellent OCM program part of the project
• As a best practice at Sierra Systems we try to follow:
one foot in today’s reality
the other in tomorrow’s art of the possible
• Biggest issue in todays reality is user adoption
• Gartner is branding 2016 as the “Year of the Cloud”
Tipping point - more IT in the cloud than on premise
• The Best IT Systems are the ones that get used
The Best Systems are Those That Get Used

11. SharePoint initiatives mostly driven and owned by IT
Business not sure where, when & how to use it
Why is our request taking this long?
IT: Overwhelmed with requests
Many ‘one off’ solutions and sites
Difficult to find information, confusing navigation
Training & change management limited
Lack of clear guidelines & policies
Key Issues Impacting SharePoint User Adoption
12. • User Adoption is the perceived usability of a product or
solution after it is developed or built.
• It is judged by the number of active end users or consumers
of the solution or product.
• Most of the time it is a soft area to
quantify however in some cases it is
measurable via set of assessable
metrics tied to Return on
Investment (ROI)
What is User Adoption? - Is it a “Secret Recipe”?
14. • Strategy
• UX Design
• Personalization
• Proactive Work Experience
• OCM (Organizational Change Management)
• Social
• Education
What are the ingredients of User Adoption?

Strategy, User Experience, Personalization, Proactive Work Experience, OCM, Social, Education
“…Employees are saying that, more than ever, they are
reaching their limit in their ability to handle all the
organizational change pushed at them”
(Thinking About Change, Trends in Change Management)
“…The cumulative effect of continual and overlapping
change has left staff increasingly stressed, burned out, and
overwhelmed. This will negatively impact not only staff
engagement and retention but also organizational success”
(John Workman, HR Investment Center)
48. Organizational Change Management
Strategy, User Experience, Personalization, Proactive Work Experience, OCM, Social, Education
Your users are dealing with Constant Change
Change – One after another
Users are
feeling fatigued
more resistant
Carefully plan your change
Results
Users buy-in
Increase ROI
Adoption
49. The ROI delivered rarely equals the ROI that is
expected
The more that people are affected by a change,
the less certain is the ROI
There are three 'human factors' that cause
variation in ROI:
Speed of adoption
Ultimate utilization
Proficiency

51. Do not let your rollout be a one-time event
Create a sustainable solution
Use a variety of communication and training methods
Solicit their input
Provide lots of support and encouragement
Employ OCM on your first rollout – don’t wait
Adoption still not happening
Look for FAIL points
Keep it simple!

Keys to Success
52. Social technologies yield a 30% improvement in bringing a product or
service to market.
- Mackenzie Institute
Companies with socially engaged employees see:
18% higher productivity
51% lower turnover
40% of people socialize more on-line than they do face-to-face
Social is everywhere
No training required
People love to use Social tools
Tagging, Ratings, Likes
Use Yammer

Yammer
Was there an “User Adoption” program to
teach users how to use:
Facebook
LinkedIn
Yammer provides almost
immediate usability for users
Yammer looks like Facebook

56. We use SharePoint because
we know SharePoint
Let your users know what is available for them?
High-level awareness, SharePoint overview, SharePoint 101
Self paced online training
Internal How To’s or short videos to demonstrate main SharePoint functionalities.
SharePointVideos.com
Lynda.com
On the spot contextual help, Instructions
User needs help starting a workflow
Create a site or library for online help - Knowledgebase
Recurring training events
Weekly / Monthly Lunch & Learns
Just-in-time help
Get your champions to help your users when
they need
Create “Ask the expert” discussion form

57. You don’t have to spend $$$ for user
adoption
You don’t have to change the SharePoint
You should provide your users a software
platform they:
inherently understand
simple to use
SharePoint On premise adoption
strategies mostly applies to SharePoint
Online
Cloud Specific Considerations:
Performance - Bandwidth
Availability - Uptime
Online vs On premise feature gap
