3. Getting Set

Well the first round of staff training finished up today.  These are not mandatory sessions.  The GoGoogle Team felt there was no need to make them mandatory and what can you really do if folks don’t show up?  Turn off their e-mail until they go to training?  Much better to refer them to the help materials on the GoingGoogle! Support Site and folks in their department that attended the training, right?

So we had two hands-on sessions on Friday in our Training Room (14 attendees), with an option to attend remotely live via WebEx (1).   We had to setup an adjacent room to handle the overflow on one of these sessions so that ended up as a demo session for staff (11).  We also had a pure demo session today at another site (7).  Folks also have the opportunity to view a recorded WebEx of a session (11).  So that’s 44 folks so far.  Good start.  Including the previous training for the GoGoogle Team that’s about 60 users trained (20%)

A few interesting observations…
