Hello - I have a project where we are looking to consolidate software tools across the enterprise as we have many duplicate tools. I am looking for ideas on contests or other ways to engage everyone to make it less of a chore. The organization does not like to give tools up but they will have to. I already have people actively working against me on a PM tool implementation because they don't want to give up their task tracking tools.
here are some of my ideas:
- $1,000 gift card for the individual who's department saves the most money (we have a central team we could pit against each other)
- Also, take the vendor management training and be entered to win 1 of several prizes (prizes could be Apple Watch, large gift card, other)
I've been told that we do not get much participation unless it is a competition. Everyone is competitive and that's how to reach them.
Thoughts? Has anyone done something like this before successfully? Saving Changes...
One thing you could try is to get people to work for the prizes instead of just select a random winner.
For instance, if you need a plan to migrate contents from tool A to tool B, you could offer a prize to those that come forward and show you how to do it.
