Why is Change Management necessary?
Change Management is the act of preparing, supporting, and helping individuals, teams, and organizations in making organizational change. In the context of Google Workspace, this is essential in driving systemic digital transformation, as we are directly affecting the day-to-day workings of most – if not all – of your users. Some common questions when shifting to Google Workspace are:
1.
Why are we making this change?
Is it the cost savings? The proven collaboration tools? A change in company vision or direction? Giving context to a major technology shift is helpful in helping your users adjust & adopt.
With change management, we aim to reduce resistance to change by effectively communicating and answering the above questions and more, which in turn:
- Reduces periods of coexistence with legacy systems
- Limits holdouts and negativity due to confusion
- Increases productivity and adoption
