Leadership

Leadership Pillar of Success

Engaging leadership gives you a great opportunity to really embed Webex across your company. Having the right people communicating the “why?” behind the investment, and using Webex to the fullest will do wonders for your adoption efforts.

Benefits of high Webex adoption to your leadership team

Cost and time savings by reducing travel
Shorter more, productive meetings
A more engaged and connected workforce

Before you engage with your senior leaders...

Prepare a short business case for ”Why Cisco Webex?”

Draw from your business drivers document and reference one or two key use cases or case studies relevant to your industry.

Get them on board early

Help executives become familiar and comfortable with the platform by coaching them and providing support resources – the mobile apps and ease of joining meetings are often key selling points. The earlier you can get them involved the better, they can share the benefits with their people.

Encourage them to lead by example

Encourage them to convert a regular 'in person’ or audio-only meeting to Webex and reward good Webex practice from their teams.

Use the toolkit

Get creative with the checklists and assets available to you on the following pages. They have been created with the experience of engaging leadership teams in the adoption of Webex Meetings.
