Change Management and Adoption Strategies

[MichaelGreen]

There are many impactful change management components that can increase a technology solutions’ adoption rate among users.  People coming to UC get excited about so many new capacities or expanded utilization of their platform that will bring value to their organization.  Leverage these components to increase your success rate:

• Preparing for Change is a strategic activity that should happen at the beginning of each project where you create strong alignment between people, the goals of the project, and the sponsors who will advocate for the technology’s use. 
• Managing Change is a series of initiatives that are integrated into your project plan to assist people in accepting and embracing the new capabilities or workflows of each project. 
• Reinforcing Change is the best practice to cement the new workflows into an everyday routine.  People interacting with technology brings your geospatial efforts to fruition. 

Come by the Guiding Your Geospatial Journey area to talk with experts about people focused change management activities that can enhance and increase your technology adoption rates.  Additionally, here are several people-oriented sessions that are happening at UC:
