How to Implement New Technology in the Workplace
Focus on research , planning , and execution .
When your team is making tech advances , such as new mobile capabilities on the sales floor or rolling out a new tracking software , consider these three tips .
Examine the issue . Before implementing a new technological service , first consider the problem this intends to resolve . Ask questions while researching a new system : Will this best meet the needs of the team ? How long will this potential solution remain effective , and what will the cost of upgrading or changing be in the future ? Consider what other elements might impact this issue . Communication or employee engagement may affect the success of your ultimate solution .
Understand the complexities of a problem before introducing a new system . Keep the goal and the team ’ s interests in mind — consider functionality and user friendliness to ensure higher adoption rates .
Show solidarity and transparency in communication . Plan how management will roll out the new service internally and externally . Create a strategy that shows transparency and explicitly states what employees and business partners can expect , as well as a timeline for implementation . Clearly communicate any potential impact to your customers . Tell employees what ’ s in it for them — will this make their jobs easier ? Identify early adopters of the system who can serve as peer leaders in using the system and help guide other employees .
Repeat education sessions . Learning a new system requires many opportunities for education . Offer multiple training sessions , as well as supplementary materials that accommodate the differences in learning styles and ability levels . Build the new technology into routines as quickly as possible .
