Your organisation pays good money for SharePoint and Office 365
Yes, it costs money to run it and to build a digital workplace or intranet in Ireland. Here’s how to squeeze as much value out it as possible with Andrew’s SharePoint Adoption Programmes (ASAP).
A successful Office 365/SharePoint rollout focuses on driving user adoption, and helping everyone in your organisation understand the benefits of working in a new way. Let Andrew Gilleran guide you throughout your launch, communications and rollout planning for end users as you look to create an effective digital workplace.
Not shown how to use SharePoint properly
Problems with technology like Office 365 and SharePoint (and especially with migrations) always, always come from a mix of poor training, poor communication, poor usability and a lack of understanding of how users work. People are shoehorned into using it based on the how the platform was designed and built. They are not shown properly how to use it for their jobs.
‘Sustainable adoption’ is what it’s all about
There is no magic bullet, no single or simple solution. And it won’t happen overnight either. It is a journey.
We can show you how to use SharePoint, Office 365 (and Yammer) to get your employees working smarter and be more engaged with a variety of innovative training programmes.

‘If you build they will come’ has been a common theme for SharePoint intranet implementations the world over. SharePoint HAS to be managed, promoted, supported and nurtured. Bit like a plant, it will wither and die if not looked after. The best thing about SharePoint is that you can do lots of things with it. The worst thing about SharePoint is that you can do lots of things with it. We will show you how to look after SharePoint.

Intranets manage information, documents, content, processes and files in many different ways. SharePoint is the foundation for pretty much everything in an organisation. Use a SharePoint intranet to Get Work Done as the bedrock for a digital workplace
'Work like a network', says Microsoft. Work anywhere on any device at any time especially with Microsoft Teams. It's the cornerstone of a valuable digital workplace in Ireland. Collaborate using Teams or Groups. Use Office 365 to Get Work Done.
But user adoption has to be planned. We call it 'sustained adoption'. And it won't happen overnight.
Get talking, working, sharing, responding, asking, informing, listening, discussing, brain storming with employees and customers. Use Yammer to Get Work Done. 'How to get much more out of Yammer' is my free ebook. Download it here.
With the likes of SharePoint, Office 365 and Yammer, getting users using the platforms to Get Work Done as part of a digital workplace is what matters most of all. Otherwise it is a complete waste of time and money. Ineffective user adoption will cost you money. My focus is always on the end user.

The Head Honcho. Andrew not only has the business & communications experience, training skills, technical knowledge and all round good sense of using SharePoint and Office 365 to improve how people work, his aims are to help people to Get Work Done. It's all about building an effective digital workplace and intranet
Andy has a major thing for Yammer and enterprise social networking or as he says: "enterprise community networking". It's a bromance, sure. But he knows how to implement it and get people using it to make their life and job a lot easier. He knows it must have business and end user value.
Ah SharePoint. A breaker of many dreams. Mr. G has built many code free solutions to Get Work Done on 2007, 2010, 2013 and online versions. But the focus now is on SharePoint Online and Office 365. But keep it simple, he says. 'Think of the end user' is his mantra. Don't make it complicated. Show them how to use it properly. Make training useful and ongoing. Focus on user adoption. He is also a member of the Irish SharePoint User Group.
He saw the clouds earlier. The Office 365 cloud that is. Accessing your content, documents, email, calendars, files, building intranets, task management and collaborating anywhere on any device (and now with Microsoft Teams) has been his focus since his early days as a freelance road warrior in web content management.

People have been chosen to update their team/department's section on the intranet. And they may be reluctant to take on the extra work involved. They have received training and guides on how to update their section using their chosen technical platform such as SharePoint. They have been shown how to update content but necessarily WHAT to create. Then your intranet gets stale. People complain. They stop using it. Content is out of date. It's badly written and confusing. But people are busy in their jobs and struggle to produce decent intranet content. So without decent and regularly updated content your intranet will not be used as much as you would like.
Intranets can be expensive to build and manage. But they are very, very useful and can have major value for an organisation. But you and your users need good content. And they need guidance. Intranets are usually managed by Internal Communications so they know the importance of good content and clear, effective communications.
The Intranet Authors Masterclass will show you and your content team how to create useful, valuable and interesting content to vastly improve your intranet.
