I was in the market for a new wristwatch a few years ago. The most important aspect is a vibrating alarm, so I can get out of bed quietly in the morning without waking up my wife and the baby, and also to serve as a reminder during […]
Last year, Mike Herrity posted about creating a revolution in user adoption, and asked which model works the best: Lenin, Trotsky, or Stalin. This was in the context of using SharePoint in an educational environment. Basically, the three approaches are: – Lenin – appeal the masses, that is, […]
Getting People To Use Sharepoint View more presentations from Mary Wynne-Wynter. Mary Wynne-Wynter posted a presentation to SlideShare a couple of years ago, called Getting People to Use SharePoint. There are some neat ideas in the 21 slides – I recommend checking it out for more on user […]
Towards the end of July, I submitted my new book, User Adoption Strategies to the iBookstore. It’s taken a while, but effective immediately, you can buy User Adoption Strategies from there in digital form! As in the screenshot above (courtesy of @qtzar), the book is US$24.99 via the […]

A neighbour we have never met just brought a generator for us to use for a few hours. How neat! The deep freezer and fridge are connected, so hopefully that will be enough to keep the food from spoliation. We did connect the water pump, but with the […]
It’s Father’s Day in New Zealand. For most fathers in Christchurch, it will be a day of looking after their families after the earthquake yesterday – perhaps even the idea that it is “Father’s Day” will be forgotten. The night here was okay. A few shakes now and […]
