Adoption is at the centre of everything. It's crucial for a successful deployment and use of Office 365 and its online services. Although adoption makes sense it's not easy to drive and manage adoption for Office 365.

Introducing Delve and the Office Graph
Look up Office 365 and these are phrases used to describe Office 365 and tell the advantages and business scenario’s. Sounds very powerful!
*Go over some of the phrases and make minor jokes*
The techies and early adaptors love this. These are the people to create a Yammer network and start leaving messages with a few other people. These are the people you need to have within every company, to take the lead, make people enthusiastic.
*Talk about Joolz workshop*
These are the people it’s all about (not old people) but the business users who don’t care about new stuff. They are busy with their day to day business.
They aren’t all unwilling to participate, that’s not the issue. They want to have an answer to this question: What’s in it for me? How does this make my life easier and more efficient?
That’s the key to adoption! Being able to answer that question and get these people involved and excited!
If you aren’t able to answer, and keep answering, that question adoption is really at stake and keen lead to a failed implementation, and continuation, of Office 365 within every business. This leads to a lose of an investment.
Slide Intro: The first step of the journey is to establish the project vision
Talking Points:
We recommend you set the vision and goals with customers up front. Outline the objectives and identify all critical stakeholders across the business.
Suggested deliverables include
a vision statement
objectives
executive sponsorship across all areas of the business that are impacted
identified champions that can spearhead the effort.
The role of executives in the four-step process:
Executives have the greatest influence on culture
Their participation is essential in driving employees’ adoption of new technologies.
Employees crave a sense of transparency into their organization’s leadership
Organizations that explicitly secure executive sponsors to actively communicate the value and benefit of Office 365 are more likely to be successful with their rollout.
Executive support is also an essential aspect of driving end-user adoption.
They need to commit to lead by example by incorporating Office 365 capabilities into how they personally get work done.
Slide Intro: The vision statement will be the foundation for the project and on-going success/measurements
Key Talking Points:
One of the most important factors in driving adoption with a new technology is to first define a clear, concise and comprehensive vision. A well-defined vision enables employees of all levels to foresee the value the new tools will bring not only to the organization as a whole, but also to the individual roles within. This in turn helps secure buy-in and support across the business.
The first step to defining a vision is to understand what’s possible.
Slide intro: Defining business scenarios drives the vision to a more granular level
Key Talking Points:
Business Strategy (Vision) (in black) includes the areas where an enterprise needs to evolve in order to meet business objectives.
Business Scenarios (in orange) are the programs and projects actively working to progress one or more organizational strategic goals.
Usage Scenarios (use cases) (in green) detail a process, or a combination of processes, required to successfully execute and deliver a business scenario.
Slide Intro: Defining the solution is a key part of the plan
Key Talking Points:
Keep it simple to avoid overwhelming people
Identify “low hanging fruit” to begin with (a friendly audience)
Get the right team for your pilot to get good feedback and a solid footing
Slide Intro: Users are key to defining the solution
Key Talking Points:

Slide Intro: Awareness and communications inform users of upcoming roll-out, and share benefits for them to create anticipation
Key Talking Points:
Keep in mind that the more communications, events and training sessions that you organize, the more likely your colleagues will engage with Office 365 during your launch and afterward.
Examples are:
Teasing videos
Email templates and scenario spotlight
Print communications (posters and flyers)
Buzz days and SWAG
Slide Intro: Effective end-user training helps with adoption
Key Talking Points:
The “Why” should be the most important aspect of your training. If your end users are new to Office 365, your training should do more than simply introduce them to procedural “how-to” information for performing tasks. They need to know why the change is happening, what’s in it for them, and why they’re being asked to change.
A key part of your training plan is to demonstrate the benefits of the change. Understanding and addressing user concerns is key toward easing the transition and ensuring a successful deployment. Here are some tips:
Lead with benefits: explain what their specific work will look like with Office 365, and what types of efficiencies or benefits they can expect in comparison with any old tools or processes.
Use real work scenarios: use the tasks or business processes that are familiar to your audience as a way to draw them into feature-specific information.
Include your governance model: make sure to integrate information about the rules, processes, and best practices that your organization has put into place around Office 365.
Create a learning center: use an internal team site to store training resources such as getting started guides and tips & tricks.
Mobilize Champions: call upon your network of champions who are committed to developing Office 365 expertise to provide coaching and assistance across their teams.
We enter into the IT and business transformations that are being driven by new technology and new IT options with our customers. Customers have lots of reasons they enter into business and IT transformations.
Because of the nature of our focus on Office 365, it often feels like a technology conversation. And, there are lots of variables, components and technology topics that need to be discussed.
But ultimately, the customer’s only real interest is to get to the results they have envisioned. They don’t really want cloud, or technology, or any of the transformational challenges that go with moving from one system to a new one or one approach to a new one – they want the freedom, the scale, the simplicity and the promise cloud offers. And generally, that is why they have turned to you, rather than doing it in house.
Ultimately Customers want the results of the business and IT transformations they are engaged in.
They want predictable outcomes from the transformation and to know that those outcomes will align with their business objectives.
They have specific and general business challenges that they need to solve. Some of them may have been the justification for the transformation, and others are simply problems that they need to solve for along the way.
They hope to see employees realize their individual potential and see the importance of this, but also want to ensure that the organization reaps the benefits of that impact.
And they look to quantify the value they receive from their investments, and realize that value today and into the future.
