Good change creates good technology

In today’s digital era, organisations face a constant need to adapt and leverage technological advancements to stay competitive. Implementing technology changes within an organisation is not just about the technology itself. It requires intentional consideration of the human aspects of change. This is where the intersection of organisational change and technology change comes to life.

Technology change acts as a catalyst for organisational transformation. It introduces new tools, processes, and ways of working, which changes how people work, how they interact with each other, and with customers. Embracing technology change brings efficiency, productivity, and improved decision-making. With good change management, the technology benefits are accelerated, employee engagement is enhanced, and adoption and implementation efforts are realised.

“We know that technology change brings efficiency, productivity, and improved decision-making. With good change management, we see how technology benefits are accelerated, employee engagement is enhanced, and adoption and implementation efforts are realised. And that must be good for any organisation.” G, CEO Avocado 

The intersection between organisational change and technology change is symbiotic. Change management supports the introduction of technology which aligns with the organisation’s strategic objectives and addresses the needs of a dynamic workforce. It focuses on engaging and empowering employees, fostering open communication, and providing the necessary training and support. In turn, technology change drives innovation, streamlines processes, and provides new opportunities for organisational growth.

When organisational change and technology change are intertwined, organisations can thrive in the digital age. Adopting a holistic approach that combines effective change management strategies with technology implementation, organisations can navigate the complexities of change, unlock the full potential of technology, and create a culture that embraces innovation.

If you are responsible for leading change in your role, join our change management program and learn how to implement change in a way that keeps you focused on the things that matter – maintaining your organisation’s operations, nurturing your people and culture, and delivering on your goals and objectives.
