Situation

The situation is where you start. You learn by dealing with real-life work situations. Provide a short description of the situation for the learners to work on. Along the way, you will impact results.
Sitches are situations, jams, issues, errors, gaps, troubles, stoppages and many others to fix and solve. They are also opportunities to improve, grow, expand, and introduce better, faster and cheaper ways to get the desired results.
What is your Situation and Question?
Meeting rooms are always challenging to find. Every room has been assigned a Outlook calendar and resource privileges. New room technology EVOKO has been implemented but uptake has been poor. Staff don't realize there is a step past just booking it in Outlook. Once at the room, one must push the button in the middle of the panel (like iPAD) to let the room know you are there.
What's the biggest challenge?
How would you communicate this across the organization, it's as simple as pressing that button in the middle to let the room know you are there! IF you don't the room frees up causing room double bookings.
What's the objective?
A simple way of communicating the importance of this step, resulting in less stress over double room bookings. This is expensive technology that works so well if it's used properly.
