Silicon Valley Salesforce User Group: A Workshop for Better Deployments

SVSUG presents Creating Better Salesforce Deployments: A Hands-on Workshop

Sources like Gartner report alarmingly high failure rates of 50-70% for CRM projects. To address this problem, we’re having a workshop, Creating Better Salesforce Deployments, in which we will step through the top failure modes and teach a 6-step process to avoid them.

Alex Cowan, will lead us through this hand-on workshop. You will learn how to apply today’s best practices on Design Thinking, Lean Startup, Business Model Generation, and Process Design to your Salesforce projects. Alex spoke last August at our largest meeting to date, and this new workshop builds on that excellent presentation and more of Alex’s extensive work.

If you’re a Salesforce user/manager, you’ll go home with techniques you can use to improve your projects and organize your teams.

If you’re a consultant, you’ll have a chance to add some of today’s most important ideas and techniques to your repertoire.

If you’re an application vendor, you’ll learn how to develop better products quicker and more consistently.
