Change Adoption - Building a Plan for Organizational Acceptance
|
The Challenge
Whether attempting to adopt ITIL©, DevOps methods, Agile practices, or some other change, every CIO and IT manager understands the frustration of being unable to bring about significant improvements to their processes and operations. Companies often invest in technology rather than in the people who work with these technologies. At the same time, IT teams and customers struggle to make meaningful changes in how they work. The longer these patterns of activity continue, the more money and time is wasted on initiatives that won’t work.
You can have the biggest budget, most well-thought out process and the clearest vision, but if you are unable to gain support from your team and your organization, then your initiatives will not succeed.
This is a common problem in the IT industry. Recent research shows that 83% of companies fail to achieve the value of a best practice initiative because of resistance to change. The key to successful improvement is proper planning, clear communication, and a thorough understanding of change adoption.
