Prepare your Teams for the Maximum Adoption of Teams Phone

Transitioning to a new solution is more than a technological change; it affects people in a personal way and fundamentally shifts the way your workforce approaches their daily tasks. At no other time in history has our workforce been more diverse in terms of age, geography, cultural background, and ability. Your organization must create an environment where people of all backgrounds can fully adopt new technology to collaborate at their best—and achieve measurable results.

Without the appropriate user adoption and change management strategies in place, your internal communications and collaboration technologies may be unified, but your diverse workforce will not be.

For these reasons, Continuant, a 2X Microsoft Global Partner of the Year Award Winner for Teams Calling and Meeting Rooms established an Adoption & Change Management (ACM) practice. A definition of ACM is “the application of a structured process and set of tools for leading the 'people side' of change to achieve a desired outcome”. It is an essential element of every solution we deliver to a customer.

Continuant’s Team and Approach to Adoption & Change Management

Continuant’s Prosci certified ACM Team is comprised of emotionally intelligent, talented and dedicated Adoption & Change Management Consultants. They each bring years of business experience and unique skill sets to the practice.

Designed to be both systematic and tailored to suit the unique needs of your organization, the ACM team hosts an ACM Workshop where discovery is the primary focus, it includes getting to know your business, learning about the decisions behind the change and exploring the culture of the people in your organization. The output of the ACM Workshop is a detailed ACM Plan designed to set you up for success in achieving your user adoption goals. Intentional change management drives user adoption and delivers measurable ROI.

Prosci, a business leader in Change Management, and their ADKAR® Model is used by companies around the world, including Continuant, to provide a simple yet effective approach to managing change and achieving measurable success.

Working with a partner, like Continuant, that has a dynamic Adoption & Change Management (ACM) practice is critical as you begin your transition to a new solution.
