This scenario took me two attempts to get right... The Friday Deep Dive

Ahoy,

Welcome back to another Friday deep dive!

Like I said on Wednesday, it took me two attempts to get this right.

The first time gave me an opportunity to learn so I could do better the second time.

But why learn from your own mistakes when you can learn from other people’s right?

And I’m certain I would have performed better the first time round if I had previously thought about the scenario and planned for it.

So today you get the best of both worlds, learn from my mistakes and prepare for any similar scenario that may pop up in your own lives!

Here’s a quick review of this week’s scenario in case you missed it.

Your organization has decided to adopt a new technology platform that will significantly change how your team works. Some team members are excited, while others are resistant to the change.

1. How would you introduce this change to your team in a way that addresses both the enthusiasm and the concerns?

2. What steps can you take to ensure a smooth transition and adequate support for all team members during the implementation?

3. How can you use this situation to cultivate a more adaptable and change-positive team culture?

So while this scenario is specifically about introducing new technology, it’s really just an example of new idea’s being bought to the team, new systems, new ways of working.

And that doesn’t need to come in the form of technology.

You could be wanting to introduce a new SOP or a new structure.

What we’ll cover today can be applied to any other areas where bringing in something new is involved.

This example is particularly interesting to me because, as I said earlier, this is something that I actually had to do.

I was introducing a new piece of software that was going to help us manage our data much more carefully.

It was an excellent piece of software and was going to be a huge help.

However, I made the assumption that everyone would agree with me immediately…

Wrong move.
