The heavy lifting of architecting, building, integrating, testing and deploying the technical solution is done. It’s time to get the story out to drive user understanding and adoption. To stumble at this phase puts the impact of all the work that came before it at risk. This session focuses on best practices that drive communications objectives – at every stage of the IT lifecycle — to fuel momentum of technical innovation across the organization, and in doing so elevating the profile of the talent behind it. The session will examine:
- How to craft the story: tips on how pulling together the story to make it memorable, engaging and actionable.
- How to drive adoption of it: leveraging traditional communications channels and putting organizational communications infrastructures to work for you.
- Pushing the story to social spaces: building a community around the program to create ripple effects in social spaces.
- Putting the people behind the story forward: elevating the profile the teams behind the innovation to drive greater adoption.
