I’m sure everyone has run into this. I need some advise. I have a small group of users (65) that have been very used to doing things the “Old Way”. We have a new (ok, 3 years old)server, network and are getting a new ERP system that will replace a 25 year old gem. If something changes on the way people are to do things, I send out detailed emails and reference help files in the appropriate application. They don’t get read, are deleted or ignored. My boss thinks I need to hold training sessions each time I make a change to bring them up to speed. And then monthly on various application issues. Even when I have done this, it hasn’t been retained. I’m a one person IT dept, covering apps, hardware, software, licensing and networking for 65 users. I know it’s in my job description but isn’t that just a little too much hand holding when I can barely get things done now? Doesn’t the user have some responsibility for learning the tools to get their jobs done? Any help on how to get the information to stick? Signed, drowning in Puddletown.
Thanks.
