I'm wondering what other offices are using as incentives or "punishments" for employees not learning the software.  I want to present our partners with the fact that people are NOT likely to learn it out of the goodness of their heart...especially if they think they can drop back to AutoCAD when life gets hard...

 Thanks in advance for your help!

Our office is using REVIT ... that is now the standard.  We still have problems with staff that want to do autocad ways using REVIT ... They turn off the model in section after using filled regions to go over everthing. 

Works OK until something changes and someone else has to fix all that crap.  Peer pressure and a boss who will not understand why one person is so much faster than the other will be the punishment enough unless the office decides to not use the full benefits of REVIT .... but then why?

Those offices and individuals who don't learn will only fall behind furthur.

it's always a plus to productivity when a company can find away to reward associates (not employeees or workers) based on the perfomance of that individual that really generates $$ for the company. come BONUS time, that will be punishment enough.

i'm sure that just keeping your job will be incentive enough for some people. but it all depends on what your companys long term goals are for implementing Revit.

ericame,

A successful implementation of REVIT in any office requires a core group of REVIT users who are enthusiastic about learning and sharing their knowledge.

Our office (>45) sent 6 of our staff for beginning training with our dealer.  This core group came back to the office and used REVIT on a few demonstration projects.  They then started developing our office standards for REVIT and after one year were instructors for in-house training of our other staff.  Two years later, we are now REVIT only on new projects.
