Your Adoption Kit for Citrix Workspace Premium Plus
Thank you for choosing Citrix as your secure digital workspace partner. We put together this kit of promotional materials to help your organization prepare and onboard users with Citrix Workspace. If your role in IT doesn’t include internal promotion, we recommend that you pass this kit along to your internal communications, readiness, or HR team so they can implement these materials to the fullest. Your kit includes:
• Workspace champion guide Creating awareness, promoting and rolling out Citrix Workspace shouldn’t be the job of one person or even a single team. This guide will equip your organization’s workspace champion (likely someone from internal communications, readiness, or HR) with the practical guidance and resources they need to build a team of champions, develop a timeline and rollout plan, and send out recommended communications.
• End-user guide This walks end users through the steps they need to take to get started with their new services. We suggest you include this guide in the final email communication and post it on your intranet.
Citrix | Citrix Workspace Premium Plus adoption kit | Cover letter 2
• 6 email communications When it comes to change, you can never over-communicate. Which is why we drafted six emails to keep your users informed during each stage of the process. We recommend you start sending the emails at least six weeks before the launch of your services.
• Facility flyers It’s easy for emails to get lost in overloaded inboxes, so we designed some flyers for you to print out and post at popular areas around your office, like the break room, collaboration spaces, and even the hallway or elevator.
• Desktop backgrounds We’ve provided a few desktop backgrounds to deploy on your virtual desktops. This will make it easy for users to distinguish between their virtual desktop and native desktop.

One of the most important steps in powering a better way to work for your organization is to create a team of cross-functional champions.
Assembling the right team means identifying individuals who are positioned to motivate and manage change within your organization. The people you choose don’t have to be line-of-business leaders or directors; they can be passionate team members from various functions of the organization who are interested in driving productivity and organizational enablement.

Planning your journey to end-user adoption
This section illustrates a few resources that will help you and your team plan your journey toward a successful rollout:
• Sample timeline • Sample email communications • End-user guide • Additional resources
These supporting materials are intended to support you in the development of a communications strategy that will interest, excite, and educate your end-users. After all, you don’t want anyone to ever feel surprised by change. These resources will allow you to successfully manage change by engaging people early, acclimating them to what’s to come, and empowering them to use Citrix Workspace in a way that will power a better way to work long after the launch.
You can customize all the materials included in this section based on your organization’s primary goals and use cases for Citrix Workspace.
Tips:
1. When customizing your communications strategy and tactics, consider your company culture and specific use cases.
2. Try using a mix of communication tactics to inform your end-users of the changes ahead (get outside the inbox).
3. Be sure to have your executive champion send the first communication. Your champion should be someone who is widely respected within the organization and whose announcement won’t go unnoticed (Bonus point: schedule the first communication for an all-hands meeting).
