How do you know you have poor user adoption?

Change management falls around adoption of software

Want to keep user adoption at the highest

#1 is how to calls at the helpdesk

#2 is feedback for more training

#3 low customer satisfaction scores

#4 no central repository for SAP training materials

“training is on Sharepoint, servers, old printed manuals” – not uncommon; important for a central repository; SAP Enable Now has a mini-LMS capability

#5 no solid answer when ask where to find training

#6 work around behavior (spreadsheet processes)

#7 “ask a neighbor”

Webcast survey poll results are shown above

“Wrapper” around SAP education solutions

Putting the user first

Step 1 is the detailed learning analysis of project team; how use the system, configure it, how maintain after go live

Step 2 organizational change management

Step 3- how training people

Step 4 – measure performance – if you don’t measure it, it doesn’t exist (Knoa)
