How are new technologies, Change Management and User Adoption related?
Companies want to deliver their services better and faster while keeping the highest standards of management. To achieve their desired results, companies change internal policies, portfolio, business strategies and invest in new IT systems and solutions like Office 365, Teams and SharePoint for example. All these decisions will lead to organizational change; which in turn is treated as a promise of success.
Unfortunately, even the most ambitious plans do not mean anything unless they are effectively implemented. Change directly affects the human aspect. Therefore, reorganizing a company is not just a business challenge; but a human challenge as well. Each employee has its own experience and goes through its personal process of overcoming their resistance to new situations; and in this process; how we go about User Adoption will be the key for success or failure in implementation and organizational change.
Wrike’s survey; includes the viewpoints of over 1,400 office workers. The survey includes people from a variety of different jobs such as marketing, IT, accounting, HR, sales, and manufacturing. In its results; Wrike´s survey shows that the main factor responsible for unhappiness and stress at work is a missing information problem.
52% of people declare that this problem is the most common and stressful aspect in their everyday work. If so; can you imagine how much this indicator increases when top management decides to go with the market flow and engages in change management processes.
