Businesses must constantly evolve and adapt to successfully overcome a variety of challenges that range from changes in technology and the rise of new competitors, to a shift in laws, regulations or underlying economic trends. A business that is unable to keep up with changing environments will be unable to sustain itself in the long term. Many companies still look the other way when the time comes to update outdated business processes and legacy systems. They simply want to avoid the hassle of operational disruption that might emerge from
running updates.
Changing organization-wide technology solutions is one of the most difficult tasks for an organization. From guaranteeing that there are no technical obstacles, which could wreck the task when it goes live, to ensuring that everybody is on the same page about the change and adequately prepared, there are so many situations to consider before implementing change.
Applying change management best practices can help any organization in any industry, of any size, effectively scale and adapt to shifting market conditions without losing valuable team players.
Here are five best practices to manage change in the workplace when implementing new technology:
