With good preparation and a strategy, technologies can be implemented and easily adopted by employees.
Tips for introducing new technologies
- find technologies that solve problems for the company
The goal of introducing new technologies is to find solutions to problems. For this purpose, all possible solutions should be examined and the best one selected. This should then be communicated to the employees and made understandable how the problem is solved.
Consideration should also be given to how the solution will be implemented and stakeholders should be involved. This helps to ensure a smooth transition. - offer support
Once the decision for the new technology has been made, full support should be available to make the transition as easy and smooth as possible. It makes sense to avoid manuals and use programs that allow easy access to help. Employees should not feel intimidated by the new technologies but should have the feeling that they can access help when needed. - no hurry
The important thing is that despite the need to increase productivity, calm is maintained and implementation is not badly handled. In the process of finding a new technology, it can be tempting to implement a pilot program, but this makes the situation more difficult for employees because there is a fully established program to work with. - be transparent
Transparency can prevent frictions that can often occur during implementation. Here it is important to keep the employees up to date so that they have the opportunity to understand the processes and the role they play in them. The understanding helps to make the transition as easy and fast as possible. - maintaining the level
The introduction worked well and was accepted by the employees, now it is important to keep the level and not to fall back into old patterns later. In order to avoid this, the responsibility can be assigned in the team to monitor the processes and to pay attention to the ongoing use after the implementation.
Conclusion
No matter which technology is to be introduced to increase the efficiency and success of the company, there will always be new challenges, but if you follow the above tips, the foundation for a successful implementation is laid.
