Based on Traveling Coaches’ renowned best practices for user adoption of complex technology, the Office 2010 Rollout Kit is a collection of marketing, pre-learning, classroom and floor support tools which are legal-specific and delivered in soft copy for easy customization by law firms.
“Our recent successful rollout of Office 2010 would not have been possible without Traveling Coaches’ guidance and training materials,” said Beau Mersereau, Director of Applications, Development and Support for Fish & Richardson. “We wouldn’t have been able to succeed without their help.”
The Office 2010 Rollout Kit is the newest addition to Traveling Coaches popular collection of law firm learning products. The previous Office 2007 Rollout Kit set the standard for law firms wishing to ensure rapid and complete user adoption of Microsoft Office. The 2010 Kit includes a rollout roadmap; learning plans and a tool for estimating the duration of custom training classes; technology commercials; WOW! Sessions; pre-learning with CLASSe™ eLearning briefs; master training guide; hands-on exercises with legal documents; quick reference cards; FAQs; personal coaching plans and more.
“Our experience with hundreds of firms is that complete adoption of Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010 requires a comprehensive communication and education strategy including myriad “learning moments” to accommodate the various roles and learning styles in a law firm,” said Charlene LeMaire, co-founder and Chief Learning Officer for Traveling Coaches. “Our Office Rollout Kits are the distillation of our proven best practices delivered in a format that law firms can immediately implement to ensure success.”
