Plan: Onboard and implement
The first part of your journey is onboarding Webex.
It's crucial that you define your business outcomes and plan for your implementation, especially integrating Webex into your existing technical ecosystem.
There are four milestones you'll want to meet in this stage of your journey:
- Define your vision for Webex
- Engage with executive sponsors
- Configure your services in Control Hub
- Prepare for launch
Launch: Use, engage, adopt
After implementation, you'll onboard your users. Whether you're setting up their accounts, making usage a habit, or giving users their first "Ah-ha!" moment, you'll want to empower them throughout this phase.
There are four milestones you'll want to meet in this stage of your journey to help your users get the most out of Webex:
- Onboard users
- Create excitement and host adoption events
- Recognize and reward champions
- Help users meet their intended use cases
Grow: Optimize and build champions
Now that you’ve reached the growth phase, you'll want to promote the value of Webex even more.
You want to make sure your users love Webex and continue finding ways to use it every day to help them be more efficient.
There are four milestones you'll want to meet in this final stage of your journey:
- Roll out new features and services
- Discover new Webex capabilities
- Celebrate and share success stories
- Join the Webex Ambassadors network
Conquering hurdles along the way
We created milestones to make it easy to see if you're tracking towards your adoption goals. So, if you're not where you want to be, we'll help you get back on track.
Lack of user awareness
When you hit this hurdle, revisit your communication plan, or consider gamifying adoption. If you've got champions, leverage them as well to get the word out about Webex.
Unclear use cases
A common roadblock is users not understanding how to incorporate Webex into their daily workflows. Share best practices or uses cases they can relate to in their role.
Lack of sponsorship
Executive sponsors are vital in driving Webex adoption. Prepare them and define their responsibilities well so they feel equipped to succeed. Action plans are great too!
Track your success
When you started this journey, you set attainable business goals and made a plan to achieve those goals. As you move through your journey, check in and see how you're tracking towards your goals. You'll want to track usage, business outcomes, and internal success stories.
