- Purpose of this slide: To focus attention on the key elements of the new UI and reinforce the key benefits.Talking Points:The key elements that illustrate the Results oriented design are the way features are organized around the task that people do in the applications and the use of Galleries to present a selection of results that users an simply click on. The key benefit here is that a user can spend more of their time focused on their work rather than wasting time trying to figure out how to get the application to do what they want it to do.By replacing the menus and toolbars with the RIBBON, using TABS to organize commands based on the activities specific to the application and using CONTEXTUAL TABS to bring forward specialized functionality when needed we make it easier for users to find and discover productivity-enhancing features.By introducing GALLERIES that reduce the needed to figure out how to ‘operate’ complicated dialog boxes, introducing LIVE PREVIEW that reduces the need to make and undo formatting changes over and over and introducing enhanced ScreenTips that do a much better job of explaining what features do we enable users to use the applications with greater confidence and proficiency while reducing application level support calls to the help desk.Now lets take a look at the new UI. Next SlideIdeally you would demo the new UI at this point, the following slides are provided if that is not possible.
- Despite what you might hear, the process is trickier than you might hope
- A Microsoftee will tell you that deploying Office 2007 is as simple as adding it to a WIM (Windows Imaging Format) file. Theoretically, we don’t disagree, but practically, no way, no how. You’ll need additional tools for this job, and the best places to look are Microsoft’s BDD (Business Desktop Deployment) 2007 kit and the Office 2007 Resource Kit (see also the Test Center Analysis "Microsoft tools ease Vista deployment").A key tool in BDD for Office migrators is the OMPM (Office Migration Planning Manager), which allows admins to scan larger environments to find out what Office apps are running, what versions they are, and what file types and exist. This will let you know who can receive an Office 2007 upgrade, what that upgrade will entail, and whether or not you need to migrate any of the data.Actually deploying Office 2007 is done using the same BDD tools as those used to deploy Vista, since the basic process is simply to make Office 2007 part of the base Vista WIM file installation.Getting Office 2007 into a WIM file begins with installing all the files from your Office DVD to a network directory.Now you launch the Office Customization Tool by running setup off the command line. A series of broad customization options will pop up in a pane, from which you can drill down to more detailed options. When you’re done making your customizations, you can save the whole thing as an add-on file, which Setup will look for when it’s run off this network installation point.You’ll install this customized version when you’re creating a Vista master installation — before snapping a disk image. Test your Vista customizations first, then run your Office installation. Now test your Office customizations the same way. If everything shakes out, simply snap a WIM image and you’re ready to deploy.That covers raw installations, but not upgrading. Microsoft, however, recommends such ground-up installations — as do we after attempting an “upgrade” installation of Vista. Blowing away everything on each machine and beginning from the ground up results in a faster, more stable install.Fortunately, Microsoft’s USMT (User State Migration Toolkit) eases upgrading from Office 2003 to Office 2007 this way. But using USMT doesn’t excuse you from a significant planning phase — Office 2007 introduces a new file format that’s incompatible with Office 2003 and Office 2000. For companies rolling out Office 2007 in bits and pieces (i.e., department by department), this can create real problems for people working on the same document.You can handle this only two ways: First, simply educate your Office 2007 users to always select the Office 2003 file format option when saving. Easy, but that human-error factor has buried so many of us on IT boot hill. Alternatively, you can install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack on PCs still running Office 2003. This allows those PCs to take files in the Office 2007 format, convert them to 2003 and then work with them. Of course, they’ll stay in the older format after that, so if Office 2007 users pick them up again, there might be a bit of initial confusion.Overall, Microsoft has done a decent job anticipating users’ Office 2007 deployment needs and providing tools to manage them. Deploying as part of a WIM image is definitely a plus; however, we couldn’t edit the customization settings on an existing Office 2007 WIM installation the way we could with Vista. (At least, we couldn’t find an easy way to do it.) Best simply to make a WIM image for largely different Office installations.
- You probably wish you didn’t have to spend any of your training budget on marketing. Wouldn’t you rather focus your resources on developingtop-quality learning? The reality is that if you don’t have marketing, you don’t get heard at all.Kevin Costner thought that if you built it, they would come, but this is only true in the corn fields of Iowa. Building great training is usuallyonly half the battle; the other half is getting your workforce to take advantage of it. Unfortunately, like most people, your workforce is sobombarded by marketing messages that unless those messages are carefully planned and executed, they won’t even hear them. Marketing must be an essential part of any successful training program.
- 1. Get executive backing.This may not sound like marketing, but it’s the best possible way to “sell” your classes. Getting executive buy-in means that you convince your company’s leaders to endorse your program, actively promote it … and possibly even require it. Rather than send an email asking them to register, why don’t you have your CEO or another top-level executive email a meeting planner inviting everyone to attend the class. Most sane employees will jump to respond to this … and attend the training as well. We all know how important executive buy-in is, but it’s critical to place this at the very top of your list. This step might take lots of work and follow-up, but it’s worth it.2. Make it easy.A widely known truth in marketing (and sales) is that when you make it easier for your customers to buy, your sales will increase. It’s that simple. It can be very frustrating for consumers to deal with organizations that make it more difficult than it should be to take advantage of their products or services. Have you ever tried to buy something over the web and just gave up because you were confused by the process or had to go through countless screens to complete the order? If the vendor took a moment to step into your shoes, they would see why they’re loosing sales. The problem is that the vendor is thinking from their perspective, not the perspective of their customers. Step out of your shoes for a moment and into your customers’ ways of thinking. This can sometimes be pretty challenging, but you’ll quickly see where you can make improvements that your customers will notice.3. Use email.Nobody likes spam. There’s no question, however that email can generate the biggest bang for the buck. But, there are a few important things to consider:a. Every email needs to add value: You have to make it clear “What’s in it for them” and provide information that will be perceived as valuable. Otherwise, they’ll call it spam. eNewsletters work well for this.b. Send the right message to the right person: Although it’s tempting to send mass emails to everyone in your company, it’s more important that you target the right message to the right person. If you’re offering IT training, send it only to the IT department. However, don’t get too bogged down in breaking up your database into too many groups. This can make emailing so time consuming that you might never send out enough emails to make it worth the time you spent.c. Make it easy to opt-out: In each email, give them an easy way to opt-out. If you do this, it nearly always satisfies those people who might have otherwise complained about your email.d. Plan at least six months in advance: Put together a simple schedule that contains the content of each email, when they will be emailed, and to whom. This will increase the chance that your emails will actually be done and that they will be sent on a consistent basis.
- 4. Publish an eNewsletter.It’s an email, but it’s not as easy to produce as an email. eNewsletters are usually very effective and are generally perceived as valuable communications by most people. The problem is that they take a lot of time to produce and are hard to sustain over time. Here are some tricks to help guarantee your first eNewsletter won’t be your last.a. Don’t be overly ambitious: The eNewsletter highway is paved with eNewsletters that were produced once and never heard from again. Start with a quarterly newsletter, which is fairly realistic. If it works well, you can always increase your frequency to every other month.b. Get help from your training suppliers: Training suppliers have a vested interest in making you successful. The good suppliers have the tools, articles, and expertise to help produce and distribute your eNewsletter.c. Write it yourself: Newsletters are not difficult if you’re doing it yourself. Getting others to write articles and deliver them on time can be like pulling teeth. If you can’t manage the eNewsletter yourself, make sure that the person in charge has a vested interest in its success and is willing to commit the time it takes.5. Conduct seminars … and webinars:As a training person, using seminars as a marketing tool is a natural extension of your expertise. The added benefit of an event like a seminar is that it’s an opportunity to showcase what you do, which gives your customer tangible proof that you offer a good service. But remember, you must add value. The success of a seminar is determined mostly by how interesting the topic looks to your customer. Self-serving topics make for very small attendance.6. Take advantage of all “free” opportunities.There are lots of unique communications channels in your company that will help get your message out. Each company is different, but most have bulletin boards, intranets, newsletters, company events, vendor fairs, etc. Sometimes, you just have to ask to be included to get some valuable free exposure.The good news is that effective marketing can pay off big-time for your training programs. The bad news is that it can be challenging and time consuming. However, if you stick to proven techniques and plan things out well in advance, you can get a return that will elevate your training program to the next level.
