Sidney Crosby did not become one of the best hockey players in history by practicing alone and hoping for improvement. He has coaches, and he works with them consistently. The parallel for business is straightforward: if world-class professionals invest in coaching to improve their performance, organizations should apply the same logic to how they use technology.
A cloud solutions coach helps organizations get more out of the tools they are already paying for, identify problems they may not have noticed, and build the internal knowledge to sustain those improvements over time.
Identify Issues
A cloud solutions coach reviews your internal processes and identifies where technology is creating friction rather than removing it. The goal is not to find reasons to buy more software. It is to make what you already have work better.
Coaching sessions that serve this purpose include:
- SharePoint Online and Microsoft Teams introductory sessions for teams new to the platform
- One-on-one process reviews to identify where the current setup is causing problems
- Refresher sessions on best practices and new features as Microsoft updates the platform
Build Team Collaboration
Technology alone does not improve collaboration. People need to know how to use the tools effectively and agree on how they will work together within them. Coaching focused on collaboration covers:
- Communicating, meeting, and managing files in Microsoft Teams
- Advanced Teams features that most teams are not using
- Microsoft 365 productivity tools for project management and team coordination
Develop Internal Knowledge
The best outcome of a coaching engagement is that your team no longer needs a coach for the basics. Building internal knowledge means your people can handle day-to-day questions, train new staff, and adapt to platform changes without constant outside help.
Topics that build this knowledge base include:
- Creating and administering SharePoint sites and Microsoft Teams
- Using Microsoft Forms, Power BI, and Power Apps
- Advanced technical Microsoft 365 coaching for IT staff and power users
Getting Started
Regroove offers one-on-one and small group coaching sessions aligned with your organization's goals. Sessions are conducted in your actual environment, not a sandbox or demo system, and are recorded for future reference.
If your team is underusing Microsoft 365 or you have completed a migration and adoption is lower than expected, coaching is usually the most direct path to improvement.
