Striving for operational stability in your team, how can you navigate conflicting views on technology's role?

I think it is important to help people understand that we can leverage technology, especially newer technology, to provide help and productivity which then allows our existing team to provide more value add engineering, service, new innovation, etc. It can also help us address the more mundane tasks allowing the team to do more interesting work.

In the name of Time -Goals will be SMART -Impact will be 60% predictable -Intent will be objective -Communication will be subjective Yes change is inevitable growth is optional

In order to navigate conflicting views on technology, there must be a strong and empathetic leadership driving the culture of change and adoption of new technologies to improve business processes. Technology is often seen as a threat, until join the change and become part of the disruption team. It is important that the team gets educated on the technology, but also have leadership transparency on how their jobs will be impacted, specially how technology will make their lives easier.

Tech change can be tricky with a divided team. Remember, it's a tool, not a boss! Focus on how it improves processes, not replaces them. Encourage open discussions where team members voice concerns and ideas. Frame it as a team effort – technology should empower them, not control them. By fostering a culture that sees change as an opportunity, not a threat, you'll gradually bridge the gap and get everyone on board with the exciting possibilities tech integration holds.

I agree Change Management is an important element. Unfortunately, in my experience it's an afterthought. The software and team have been selected and then it becomes "just get it done". Where a solid up front Change Management program is implemented, the project moves much more smoothly.

I've found the most successful tech adoption strategies go beyond simply addressing current needs. By incorporating elements of future-proofing and fostering a culture of experimentation, we can leverage technology to not just solve problems but open doors to new possibilities. This means looking for tools that can adapt and grow with our evolving needs, while also creating space for team members to test and learn from emerging technologies, even if they don't solve an immediate problem. This forward-thinking approach keeps us ahead of the curve and fuels a culture of innovation that benefits the team and the entire organization.

Before tech leaps, assess your team's needs! Gather all voices to understand workflow gaps and how technology can bridge them. This collaborative planning ensures any new tech is more than a fancy gadget – it's a strategic solution. When your team has a say in the assessment, you gain valuable insights and, more importantly, build buy-in for the upcoming technological changes, fostering a smoother adoption process.

I've found that assessing team needs is like taking inventory before a big trip. You've got to know what you've got and what you're missing to plan effectively. I like to run workshops where we map out our processes and pain points. It's eye-opening to see where the bottlenecks are. You start to understand not just what's slowing us down, but why. Here's the kicker – this process often reveals unexpected opportunities. Once, while discussing our project tracking woes, we stumbled upon a way to improve client communication too. This approach has turned tech adoption from a top-down decision into a team mission. It's not about forcing change, it's about solving real problems together.

Tech integration thrives with clear goals! Define success – how will this new tech get you there? Set SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) to provide direction and keep everyone motivated. This roadmap guides your team through the transition, ensuring each member understands their role in achieving operational stability with the new technology. By working towards clear goals, you'll transform tech adoption from a hurdle into a collaborative journey towards a smoother, more efficient future.

I've found that setting clear, SMART goals is crucial when bringing new tech into the mix. You've got to know what you're aiming for and how that shiny new tool will get you there. It's not just about having fancy gadgets; it's about making real progress. When I set goals for my team, I make sure everyone's on the same page. We define success together, and I ensure each person knows their part in the grand scheme. It's like plotting a course on a map – you need to know where you're going and how you'll get there. Remember, goals aren't set in stone. I like to revisit and adjust as needed. Tech moves fast, and so should we. Keep it flexible, keep it real, and watch your team thrive.

Treinar e acompanhar o melhor dos remedias, ainda mais quando falamos em algo novo, como as inovações que nos permeiam. Não adianta inserir algo e achar que todos vão ser mestres, Ha e uma detalhe importante, o processo de inovação deve ser algo conjunto, ou seja, algo que vem empurrado não funciona.

Tech success hinges on a trained team! Invest in comprehensive training programs that cater to different learning styles and skill sets. Don't forget ongoing support – be there to address hurdles as they emerge. This empowers your team to become confident tech users, not just passive adopters. By equipping them with the knowledge and support they need, you'll ensure a smooth transition and unlock the true potential of technology to boost operational stability and individual contributions to the team's success.

With over 70% of organizational change efforts failing, it's crucial to align people, process, and technology. - New technology alone, will fail. - Squeezing old processes into new technology will fail. - Misaligned teams, where you have wrong people in wrong seats, will fail.
