In which Virtue do you see yourself?

Only you know this answer but from a technical, productivity, proficiency point of view I would say YES!

To make sure the right decision is made for your organization and your users you first may want to assess the way that Office 2003 is being used. Is this an opportunity to address training from multiple perspectives? This answer will enhance the transition training by including new ways of doing old activities. Not only addressing the “What’s New” aspect of Office 2010 but also addressing “How do we Work”. Which tools do we use and how? How often are we using these tools?

With the first look at Office 2010 user’s reaction will be “where are the menus?”, “where are my commands and toolbars?”, “where is the “X” command that used to be right here” and more. There’s a good bit of free Microsoft Office 2010 training tools and information available but… Do your users have the time to teach themselves and get up to speed to continue performing well?

Though we use computers daily will the new Office 2010 interface be easy to navigate and locate what is needed quickly, easily and intuitively? Only you can decide but remember not only has the interface changed, commands have been re-organized and re-positioned, there is new terminology and new approaches to working smarter and better if you know where to look.
