In today’s disrupted marketplace, traditional business models are crumbling under the force of digital transformation. The need to adopt new technology and new ways of working is no longer under debate — innovation has becomes essential for success.
But innovation isn’t easy. Changing how you do business is hard work. It requires thoughtful planning and skilled execution. You’ll need a partner that not only has a deep understanding of technology, business strategy and organisational process, but also knows what makes people tick.
That’s because successfully adopting new, innovative technologies requires getting your entire team involved. Oftentimes this is not easy, as the fear of the unknown can be a huge obstacle. Some on your staff may think that it will increase their workload, diminish their responsibilities, or even make them redundant.
A recent survey of business leaders for the Canon Business Readiness Index found that one of the biggest challenges when implementing change was denial. Employees just didn’t see the value in using the new technology. At first glance this may not seem rational, but the fact is, change can be highly emotional.
Failing to adapt to change could be heartbreaking for your employees, so it’s crucial to manage the emotions that arise from adopting new technologies. The first step is to understand your company culture. Often, company culture is not expressly defined but develops organically over time, influenced by leadership and the people that make up your team.
Knowing how these people think and which values leadership encourages will help determine the strategies you use to implement a successful change initiative. Critical to this success is finding a technology partner that not only has a deep understanding of innovation, but also understands your company culture.
