3. So You Think You've Finished
Implementing Connections?
Environment is up
IT has played with it
4. User Adoption - The Missing Piece
We used to call this training - now there is no
budget for training, so we came up with a
new name
You used to do this after you created a brand
new Domino app - remember?
5. Why is User Adoption Work
Necessary?
You are the 1%
For normal people,
playing with new
technology is not
fun & not part of
their job
This is why pilots and sandboxes suck
6. Why? Part 2
It's been 15 years since the desktop has
changed
Need to help people understand what's in it for
them, and that the way they've always done it
is not necessarily the best way to do it going
forward
7. Why? Part 3
Metcalfe's Law - the value of the
network is proportional to the
square of the number of connected
users
Users = success
8. Best Practices and Use Cases

jobs
Executives need to participate
