The lesson

Choose a process where digital tools clearly help — leave requests, supplies requests, filing incoming letters — and simplify it first.

Choose tools by need, cost, offline use, ease of learning and data protection; prefer tools the office already licenses.

Pilot with a few users, train everyone, keep a fallback for a while and collect feedback before full rollout.

Step by step

  1. Choose a process.
  2. Compare two tools.
  3. Plan a pilot and training.
  4. Define how you will measure success.

Practice activity

Expected result: A practical plan with a pilot, training and success measures.
