Operational Technology Solutions

Make sure your team actually uses your technology. Training, change management, and ongoing support that drives adoption and builds confident, capable staff.

The Adoption Crisis

You have the technology, but your team isn't using it—or they're not using it well. Low adoption means low ROI.

Systems Sitting Idle

You built or bought technology, but months later adoption is terrible. Staff revert to old ways—email attachments, shared drives, paper processes. The investment is failing because behavior hasn't changed.

Constant "How Do I...?" Questions

Staff know the system exists but don't know how to use it beyond basics. You're constantly answering the same questions, troubleshooting issues, and spending time supporting technology instead of running programs.

Training Doesn't Stick

You did training once, but skills faded. Staff turnover means constantly retraining. Change resistance persists—"I liked it better the old way." You need ongoing support and reinforcement, not just one-time training.

How We Drive Technology Adoption

We don't just teach features—we ensure behavior change sticks and build internal capacity for long-term success.

User Training & Skill Development

Hands-on training that builds genuine confidence and competence. We train people to actually do their work better, not just to understand features.

Adoption Success Examples

Real scenarios showing how we turn low-adoption situations into high-utilization success.

SharePoint Launch Adoption Program

A sport organization built a comprehensive SharePoint system but 3 months after launch, usage was abysmal. Staff still emailed attachments and used shared drives.

SharePoint usage: 15% → 85% within 4 months. Email attachments decreased 70%. Support tickets decreased 60%.

Seasonal Staff Training Program

A municipal recreation department hired 60+ seasonal staff every spring and fall. Training them on registration systems, facility booking, and communication tools was overwhelming.

Training time: 3 days → 1 day live + 1 day self-paced. Technology errors decreased 75%. New hire confidence: 3.2/5 → 4.6/5.

Low M365 Adoption Turnaround

A provincial sport organization paid for M365 but staff only used Outlook. Teams, SharePoint, Planner, and other tools sat unused. Leadership wanted ROI on their technology investment.

Teams adoption: 10% → 90% within 6 months. SharePoint adoption: 5% → 75%. Email volume decreased 40%. Eliminated $8,000/year in redundant software.

Building Internal Training Capacity

A growing recreation organization was dependent on external trainers for all technology training. Every time they hired staff or implemented new features, they needed outside help.

Internal team now delivers 90% of technology training independently. Response time: weeks → days. Annual training costs decreased 75%.
