Having A Powerful Tool Like The TAC CMS System is
Only 1/2 The Battle. Learning How To Harness It's
Power Is The Other 1/2!
You've purchased a new Church
Management Software system (CMS). What an
important step you just made. Good job!
With so much that the CMS offers your
church, it's hard to imagine a church without a CMS, but
that's another story. In this article we're
discussing something else, but something just as
important ... getting proper training!
I can't tell you how often I talk to a
church (or even a business) that has purchased a new
automation system to streamline their process and
increase proficiencies, but refuse to purchase training.
I hear things like, "They said it was easy to use so we
shouldn't need any training," or "We'll read their
manual if we need help," and so forth.
Let use one of the systems available
as example in discussing this topic. Let me use
Church
Management Software system
TAC (The
Automated Church).
If the TAC-CMS
is easy to use (and it is), does that mean you don't need
training for it?
Absolutely not!
The fact is, it's extremely easy to use.
But let's blunt here ... just like beauty, "easy to use" is
in the eyes of the beholder. And the reality is,
unless you're the programmer of a system you're not going to
know every little shortcut or facet to the program without
someone showing you. That's software in general!
Bradley Chesnut has been training
businesses and individuals on using their automation for the
past 20 years. As he'll tell you, there's always
something to learn. A shortcut here, a more efficient way of
doing this, and so on.
In addition, when Bradley ran across
someone unhappy with their automation, 9 times out of 10
it's because of lack of training ... they just simply didn't
know how to effectively use what they have.
The point is, it takes the right
system and proper training to gain the full benefit and
advantages to the system you purchased.
The best thing you could do after
purchasing a new system is get training on it. |
