Technology is constantly changing and holds the promise to improve how we work, but only if it’s adopted! A change mindset needs to be the new norm in today’s organizations. No matter the size of the organization or the industry, change is constantly with us, especially technology change.
So what’s all the hype about formalizing adoption and change management programs? Does it really matter?
The answer is most definitely YES!!!
Taking a Personalized Approach to the Human Side of Change
While change is constant, it doesn’t mean people embrace it and realize the benefits of the change. Change happens because of people and focusing their perspective makes all the difference in how quickly they embrace new technology and adopt new ways of working. With the pressure to realize the benefits of technology investments faster, organizations are re-thinking how they help drive their people to embrace new ways of working.
I recently participated on a panel discussion with my Dell Technologies Services peers where we discussed the importance of an adoption and change management (ACM) program to realize the value of technology investments.
We explore lots of topics such as:
- How not to manage change.
- Why does a comprehensive approach matter?
- What’s needed beyond communication and training?
- What frameworks should organizations use?
- Why is understanding workforce personas key to change?
- What are the key components for success?
- How to manage resistance?

Understand, Adopt, Refine and Repeat
News flash – this idea of formalizing an ACM program is something that should become standard operating procedures for every organization. Think of it as a virtuous cycle that is part of your organizations’ DNA – built into everything you do when it comes to helping your people adopt new ways of working. Certainly not all change is equal, the level and depth of an ACM program will vary based on the complexity of the solution and the impact it has on your workers.
By taking a comprehensive, persona-driven approach to driving adoption allows awareness, communication, education, governance and job aids to be more targeted, tailored and effective. Adopt this approach to better position your organization to maximize technology investments and reap the rewards of a satisfied and more productive workforce.
