Managing Change
by sachin on July 11, 2008
I realize, it’s an impossible task to convince someone of the futility of some particular task unless and until you totally understand the process and how it effects the bottom line yourself. Now someone who is in-charge can easily try and enforce something. But the system will inadvertently collapse as the required support has to come from people not from machines.
The human quotient therefore, has to be included to prevent an expensive and/or failed exercise. Especially in a place where those who have been in the system for more than a dozen years are a sizeable number.
Also if you are bringing an innovation to the table, you better be prepared to defend it till death. Half baked ideas invariably will kill the whole process and intent of innovation at the workplace.
So this is the action course i propose to take, [assumed implementation of XYZ]
- Learn & Understand About The System .. If am going to implement XYZ, i better be next to God @ XYZ. Learn about it’s pros & Cons.
- Educate the people who will use the system about XYZ. Make sure all their queries/doubts/apprehensions are answered.
Clearly state advantages over the current system. - Start a small pilot. Tune the system to your specific needs.
- Expand to a wider base.
- Full Roll Out!
Hopefully i can pull this through.
