manufacturing, Marketing, Sales and very much so HR.
2. Do your homework on your SaaS service and cloud provider

3. Be willing to try and innovate! It’s easy and affordable.

Try with a focus group (engage Marketing and IT by inviting a few to join in the pilot)

If successful, what was learned? What can be improved? If not, kill the project.

Get execs to try and buy in

Use the community as needed for training, content

Roll out to larger audience
