Will Your Project Be A Success?

“We’re doing this because we’re committed to remaining a leader in technology by fostering improvements in productivity and customer service.” - Project Manager, Global Firm

Business Drivers & Project Goals WHY IS THE FIRM DOING THIS, AND HOW WILL YOU KNOW WHEN YOU’RE SUCCESSFUL?

What drove the firm’s decision to rollout office 2010? It’s unavoidable. Microsoft dropped support for Office 2003 and Windows XP which means that important security and stability updates will end. The Firm cannot incur the risk of faulty and unsupported software. This upgrade is also inevitable because client demands and expectations that the Firm will be compatible with .docx file formats, produced in Office 2007 and 2010.

It’s beneficial. Windows 7 is the Operating System that Microsoft finally got right. Architecturally and reliably, Windows 7 will present an experience that will result in fewer crashes. A main business driver is to provide a more reliable, stable performance in end user experience. Firm Shareholders want technology to get out of the way.

What drove the firm’s decision to rollout office 2010? We want world class technology that delivers consistency, reduces risk and positions us at the forefront of technology. We want technology that is aligned with that of our clients, streamlining the way we communicate and protect the data entrusted to us.

Anonymous Global Firm


Goal Setting: How will you know when the project is successful? •

•

• •

People are not surprised at the time of deployment and it’s not the first time they’ve seen the new interface in Office 2010 and Windows 7. Each group of users experiences a consistency in training and in installation of software. Each group gets the same information across the board. Users learn to help themselves. Measured and proven user adoption of the new system.

•

•

We have introduced current technology that better supports our users’ needs for enhanced productivity and easier collaboration. When we have user acceptance, endorsement and adoption.

“Instead of taking the traditional approach…with a single focus group, IT adopted the challenge of engaging the firms’ stakeholders from the very beginning.” - Pamela Hart, Hunton & Williams

Needs Analysis WHAT RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED FOR USER ADOPTION PLANNING?

Lessons Learned from Past Projects • Don’t drag it out, condense the training and create a deployment schedule that enables practice areas as well as secretary and attorney teams to be on the same desktop as soon as possible. – Brown Rudnick • Involve the user community in the decisions and have better communications throughout the process. – Loeb & Loeb

Lessons Learned from Past Projects • Our intention is to staff up to provide more floor support, user support and one-on-one assistance to ease transition by addressing users’ needs as immediately as possible. Deployment process will be as uniform as possible across all offices (hardware swap, messaging about goals and on-the-ground support). – O’Melveny & Myers • Allow enough time between groups to provide adequate support, have a corporate sponsor of the project and provide ample floor support. - Reinhart

Lessons Learned from Past Projects • Communication! Start weekly IT planning meetings early. And smaller preview demo groups organized by department and practice group result in more grass roots interaction with users, giving IT more feedback and lessening user fears of change. – Luce Forward • By interviewing and working with our attorneys and staff one-on-one in advance of the rollout resulted in a smoother transition. – Hunton & Williams


Understand that the users will work with all of the features differently than you can ever imagine.

Focus Groups & User Surveys We conducted a survey, which received a 65% response rate, and then conducted a focus group facilitated by a User Adoption Consultant. With these two methods, we analyzed: • learning preferences • training durations • preferences for classroom learning topics

• processes and workflows

Focus Groups A focus group of 120 people which included partners, associates and staff was divided into 4 distinct groups where each group focused on interrelated applications. Practice Support team members became SMEs and conducted detailed sessions on configurations settings. The end result was a well-defined workstation image which was then demonstrated to the firm in a Show and Tell. Involving the focus group early on promoted a number of important decisions including the training and awareness impact as well as a good feedback loop.

User Surveys and Polls We polled secretaries and word processors to see how often they were receiving .docx files to work on.


“Communication is critical to adoption. It was a lot of work, but well worth getting everyone on the bus together.” -Nola Vanhoy, Alston & Bird

Awareness and Buy-In WHAT IS YOUR COMMUNICATION STRATEGY?

Project Theme

Project Theme

Project Theme

Communication Elements Most of our Magic 8 Firms leveraged these best practices and vehicles for communication: • Frequent communication to the user community • Town Halls/Roadshows/WOW! Sessions/Demos • Intranet/Learning portals • Emails • Mix of firm-wide communications with targeted practice group/user group/departmental messages • Video testimonials • Technology commercials

Posters and Signage

Portals for Communications

EMF 3 (Win 7/Office 2010) is a website which houses interactive guides, peer and industry videos, available training sessions, blog and training materials.

Pre-Learning HOW HAVE YOU PREPARED USERS FOR THIS CHANGE?

WOW! Sessions (aka: roadshows, town halls, show & tells, project briefings)

• Live, high energy, meetings to explain the WHY and the WIIFM. • Many include demo sessions on key user benefits. • Get the message from the top-down. • Set expectations and outline the project plans. • Incentives/prizes to get people to participate.

7 out of 8 firms held some form of WOW! Session.

Demos of “What’s New What’s Different” to all users/all sites via video. Attendance earned them a copy of Office 2010/2011 for home usage.


eLearning as Pre-Learning • Make eLearning available before classroom learning. • Some firms even require certain user groups to complete an eLearning plan prior to attending classroom events. • Most uploaded eLearning to a learning portal or learning management system for tracking purposes. • eLearning often includes both Captivate briefs and video lessons.

All 8 firms pushed out eLearning as Pre-Learning!

Other Ideas for Pre-Learning • Microsoft Home Use Program • Kiosks and virtual labs to try out the new technology with guided exercises • Ribbon Hero and Interactive Guides on training computers

The Words We All Want to Hear from Happy Users/Customers…

“In the history of mankind, no software/hardware/kitchen sink upgrade that I have had the pleasure of going through has been this easy. It is a testament to you and your team's advance preparation and acumen. A sincere thank you doesn't seem to do it justice. From both us and the clients we serve.”


“For the record, you guys did a great job last night. Thanks for your patience as I struggled to get my spreadsheet out to the client. The new software is much faster, better, and easier to use. Really a great improvement and no glitches other than this one document today, which is like WOW! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE IN IT. You really have a great team.”


“Having lived through the day without throwing my computer out the window, I want to thank you for the help desk, the roaming helpers, and your personal help. It’s so much faster!”
