Sun CAP Virtual Workshop

Tomorrow (December 16) I am doing a couple of internal conference calls to talk about our experiences using the Sun Change Acceptance methodology for JDS so far. I'm looking forward to talking about some of the lessons learned that I talked about in this blog back in October .

Since then I've added three more lessons learned to the list. They include:
Resistance is the wrong word to use. It is not so much engaging resistance as it is finding out why people believe they can't make the change.
Change is a long term process. We have only just begun.
Change acceptance work is internal Public relations in the best sense.
I might talk about these more in future blogs.

If you are a Sun employee reading this and would like to join the conference call just look at my calendar in Namefinder for the call in number.

I'm a Beta tester

I just signed up to be an internal Beta tester for Sun Java Desktop System. I expect it to be a real learning experience for me. I am relatively familiar with JDS but I haven't installed it before or ever done any Linux system administration kind of stuff. It should be fun. (2004-12-15 17:34:28.0) Permalink
