Case Study — Jill’s 2‑Month Rollout Success
Role: Program Manager, 11 Years’ Experience
Challenge
Jill faced a daunting task during the integration: rolling out a new customer-support platform amidst apprehension from the two teams coming together. The stakes were high, and she knew resistance could derail the initiative.
Action
Jill teamed up with a Gotara partner who helped her set an ambitious 60-day target for two pilot teams, igniting excitement and urgency. With Gotara’s help, Jill crafted a powerful narrative that articulated the need for change, which resonated across the teams. To ensure everyone understood the platform’s benefits, they conducted side-by-side comparisons that clearly showcased its value in action. Jill enlisted passionate super-users to champion the training sessions. She kept every meeting laser-focused on purpose, fostering a culture of enthusiasm and collaboration.
Results
“Seeing the ‘why’ in action erased doubts. Adoption happened faster—and with a lot less noise.”
The program exceeded expectations—3 of 4 teams were live within 2 months, beating the rollout plan by 50%. Skepticism flipped to enthusiasm as confusion turned into proactive advocacy, and early cost‑saving wins lifted C‑suite visibility.
Example of Results at a Glance
- Adoption accelerated well ahead of schedule, compressing roll-out time and freeing capacity for new priorities.
- Positive user enthusiasm went up and support tickets went down after go‑live, reinforcing confidence in the change.
- Early ROI evidence secured executive buy‑in for broader expansion, turning the pilot into a funded enterprise initiative.
