The next London User Group Meeting will be held at The Institute of Directors, 116 Pall Mall, on Tuesday 26 June from 4pm until 6:30pm. As always drinks will be taking place after the event to enable time to network and meet with other SFDC users and partners.

At the last meeting a frequent topic of conversation was that there are now other factors impacting the time required to implement and evolve a working salesforce.com solution, and that getting the technology right was often simpler than other considerations when making your SFDC programme successful.

This covers a very broad spectrum which couldn't possibly be addressed in a single session, however coupled with the initial user group survey; I would like to propose the following for the next London User Group meeting.

There will be three tracks:

1.         Managing stakeholder expectations of your SFDC programme

2.         Finding and selling to the business the right functionality to meet your business needs

3.         Providing executives with the information they need to champion the programme.

Each track will provide feedback on their findings to the whole group, the aim is to demonstrate and share good practice.  Please also let us know if you have a preference for which of the above tracks you wish participate in.

Once again the IOD is the central London location for this event, although I am looking for User Group members to host these meetings in the future. If anyone would like to host an event even if outside of London it would be much appreciated.

I look forward to seeing you in June.

Thanks

Lawrence
