Phase 2: Early Adopter
66
Start your Google Guides program
Time frame: Weeks 7–8
What and why: In the Core IT phase, you defined your Google Guides
program and lined up your guide candidates. At this stage of the
Early Adopter phase, you hold your Google Guides kickoff meetings
and begin to bring your guides up to speed.
The result: Your Google Guides are energized and ready to help you
lead the switch to Google Apps in your organization. They know their
responsibilities and are getting up to speed on Google Apps.
“One of the key aspects that enabled our
smooth transition was the identification
of ‘Google Guides,’ people from across
the Museum who volunteered to help
their colleagues with the new Google
Apps environment.”
—Joe Kraus, CIO, United States
