If you build it… They will come. Or will they?...
Problem: Just because you create something, doesn’t mean people will use it
What’s Our Strategy? 1. Focus on a few tools at a time 3. Make the tools available to users in our community of practice 2. Learn the tools inside and out
TO DOs • 1. Figure out what people need • 2. Create/find/use a tool • 3. Market & feedback
