PnP Weekly

SharePoint Dev Weekly - Episode 72 - 24th of February 2020

In this session of PnP Weekly, hosts - Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), and typically a special guest from the PnP Community, discuss the latest news and topics around Microsoft 365 development.

In this episode, Vesa and Waldek are joined by Karoliina Kettukari – MVP and Microsoft Teams and Office 365 user adoption and change management consultant with Sulava in Helsinki, Finland.   Their conversation focuses on the human side of technology deployments, not addressed by the mere roll-out/announcement of a new technology.   It is clear, change is constant and change impacts people throughout the entire organization - directly and more often indirectly.  A large hurdle and risk to new technology adoption is the perception that this is an IT solution we now need to use as opposed to a tool we wanted and expected because it supports our ongoing business transformation.  Three tips for driving successful (change management) adoption include: 1) securing internal resource and management commitment, 2) understanding/communicating this is a continuous journey, and 3) focusing on the human aspects of successfully performing a function rather than focusing on learning a technology.

As always, if you need help on an issue, want to share a discovery, or just want to say: “Job well done”, please reach out to Vesa, to Waldek or to your PnP Community.
