Change Management 101: Getting people from Point A to Point B
An overview for IT people on the change management of people. This session does NOT cover ITIL or systems change but dives into user adoption concepts that developers, architects and project managers need to consider as they design and deploy SharePoint. We’ll compare rational, social and fear-based strategies and give you tips on preparing your team to respond to user backlash. You’ll learn how to infuse a few key public relations skills into your technical team that will make a big difference in how users perceive the tool. You’ll leave this session with the framework of a communications plan that you can take back and implement in your organization. Whether you are in the planning phase or have already deployed SharePoint, this session will give you the business perspective you need to help you focus on user adoption.
 
Delivering Presentations That Inspire
There’s a motivational speaker in all of us, but like the Wizard said to Dorothy’s friends, “they have one thing you haven’t got.” A presentation! Break away from bullet points and boring handouts and move into the new features of Office 2007 to market your ideas. Excel, PowerPoint and SharePoint work together to store presentations for easy callback and present information on a website instead of on a landscape, printed page for your internal audiences.
 
Go from raw data to the big screen using features like PivotTables, Conditional Formatting, and Presenter’s View. Link data between Excel and PowerPoint so you don’t have to update the presentation when the data changes and use the new eye candy available to you to turn your bulleted lists into full-color and animated design elements. The secret to inspiring others is an exciting presentation. Make your presentations pop using the new tools in Office 2007. A Live Meeting tutorial is also included in this session.

Professional Speaking For People Who Have to Present

This 3-hr session is a great refresher for trainers and it is especially useful for people who do not present to large audiences as part of their day-to-day duties. One major difference of scenario-based training is that it is not hands-on learning. For people who are used to teaching participants how to do a task step-by-step, you will benefit from learning:

  • How to connect with an audience
  • How to control a crowd
  • How to motivate an audience
  • Change management techniques
  • How to report your success
 
Introduction to Scenario-Based Training
In this 3-hour session, we discuss an instructional design model and teach you how to develop custom training presentations for different audiences. By the end of the session, you will know how to analyze your audience, design a training plan and develop scenario-based training modules that meet the needs of your users. Move away from ‘canned’ intro, intermediate, and advanced curriculum that doesn’t focus on corporate or departmental deliverables and into process-driven learning that demonstrates how the new tools in Office 2007 can improve the way they work. The result is shorter class times, higher retention of the curriculum, and immediate adoption of Office 2007 and SharePoint.
