About this tag
Change management on WindowsForum.com covers the people, process, and governance side of Microsoft 365 and AI rollouts. Recent discussions highlight real-world cases like the City of Raisio in Finland, which trained nearly 100 municipal employees before scaling Microsoft 365 Copilot, and X-ELIO's phased migration with NTT DATA that paired technical deployment with adoption support. The recurring theme is that successful change management treats AI and collaboration tools as workforce-change projects first, focusing on training, trust, governance, and workflow redesign rather than just software deployment. For IT teams, these threads offer practical lessons on preparing users, managing expectations, and building repeatable adoption practices for Microsoft technologies.
