Outline & Structure: The biggest user adoption challenges in 2018
End user adoption is ….. definition.
According to Forrester, the most concerning threat in CRM Projects was that of slow user adoption (49%).
There are so many user adoption strategies pushed by companies trying to overcomplicate things and sell their consulting services. But in my experience, it boils down to getting three things right
Communication
• End users not involved in the project from the outset. Need buy in from above but also need the business involved • Communicate downside - lack of KPIs to improve sales pipeline & effectiveness of marketing or how to spend time. What does this mean for the individual?
The technical platform
1. It takes too long / doesn’t save time Too many dropdowns or mandatory fields which makes it annoying to use It’s not available everywhere e.g. mobile Not accessible (hop through different systems) Not integrated with email system Beauty of Dynamics is everything is in one place. So need to do that.
Integration with business systems
• Don’t let it be optional - make it part of the business process
In this post I will share the strategies that I have refined over the last xx years, and use to tackle user adoption challenges when working with international organisations like xxx and xxx.
Extensive research needed: no
