In a perfect world you would do the following:  Generate excitement, 
train, exclusively implement.

Generate Excitement
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/wdt400/
- Success stories
- You all get new, beefier, PC's!

Training
- We used Jon Paris, on site, for a few days (but that was pre-lpex days)
- Joe Pluta does this also
- See also Susan Gantner
- COMMON
- IBM Technical conference
- http://www.statususer.org/statususer/html/20060510.html
- A local BP had a training lab that sponsored a full day on WDSC from an 
iSeries RPG perspective.  Could have used a little more time as I ran 
short on debugger experience.  eweingartner at shambaugh dot com
- Tutorials in the product itself
- Books:

Don't get cheap here.  Dropping a grand or two on onsite training is cheap 
compared to the lost productivity, or worse, failed installation.

Exclusively implement
- This may require management approval.  But I, and others, strongly 
suggest that you secure (or save off and delete) the following commands 
for the first month:  STRSEU, STRSDA, STRPDM, WRKLIBPDM, WRKOBJPDM, 
WRKMBRPDM, and whatever GO PROGRAM option 1 does.  Failure to do so will 
result in many developers pissing on management, and on all the money 
invested, by refusing to at least give the new environment a try until 
they get over their fear of change.  "Change?  That's for users!  Not for 
me!"
