What's New with Salesforce???
Salesforce is full steam ahead on Life Sciences Cloud, leveraging partnerships along the way!
Salesforce, the world’s leading CRM, has expanded its partnership with IQVIA, a leading provider of analytics and research services for the Life Sciences vertical, to accelerate the development timeline of their new product Life Sciences Cloud, focused on helping folks in the realms of Biotech, Pharma, Medical Equipment Manufacturing, Clinical Research, and more.?
Life Sciences Cloud’s arrival coincides as Salesforce's long time partnership with Veeva is set to come to an end in 2025, after almost two decades as partners.?
It's clear that industry clouds, including Life Sciences Cloud, remain a top priority for Salesforce, and that they will continue to leverage partnerships in order to both accelerate the development timeline and enhance the cloud’s eventual capabilities.?

User Adoption Research: Details?from my PhD Research
?Studying Salesforce Academically - and then Putting it into Practice
In my research on CRM User Adoption, I interviewed users, and then coded their responses to themes and sub-themes. Meet governance:
Sub-Theme:? Governance of CRM
The last sub-theme, or axial code, “Governance of CRM,” was made by combining three open codes.? The governance of CRM was an important consideration. Many respondents stated that they have created an internal committee to manage and govern the CRM implementation and adoption issues in the organization. As one of the respondents stated, “There is an internal committee at the organization that manages the database, and it's mostly the team that kind of owns that.”
If your company does not currently use a governance committee approach to keeping Salesforce aligned with business needs, we can help you set your strategy and tactics for that!
If you want even more info on this critical CRM user adoption research, I have a journey built that you can follow if you click here. Or, shoot me a message to have us help you develop your adoption strategy.? - Shannon?

Q:? What are dreamin' events and how do I get started and involved?
A:?This is a great question, because when a lot of us start in the Salesforce ecosystem we are flooded with a new vocabulary. It's almost like a club with some cool members-only passwords!?
A dreamin' event is a place for Salesforce enthusiasts, business users, consultants, partners, and most specifically admins, developers, and architects to meet and share ideas! A dreamin' event is exactly what it sounds like: an event where people can dream up new ideas and ways to collaborate.

These events are everywhere, from small rural communities to large cities; you can basically find a dreamin event anywhere. Typically, they are run by a group of awesome people who just want to find a way for like-minded experts to hold some sessions and share ideas.
If someone wants to get involved with a dreamin' event it couldn't be easier: just ask! Usually dreamin' events are very volunteer-based, so don't be afraid to reach out and get involved. Check out the comprehensive list of events that our friends at Elements.Cloud put together!

MAY DAY
A delicate fabric of bird song ?
Floats in the air,
The smell of wet wild earth ?
Is everywhere.
Red small leaves of the maple ?
Are clenched like a hand,
Like girls at their first communion ?
The pear trees stand.
Oh I must pass nothing by ?
Without loving it much,
The raindrop try with my lips, ?
The grass with my touch;
For how can I be sure ?
I shall see again
The world on the first of May ?
Shining after the rain?
?— ?Sara Teasdale
