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

Holocaust Memorial Museum

The United States Holocaust Memorial

Museum is a non-profit organization based

in the United States. It has 700 Google

Apps users.
