This Episode: `How To Make Change Stick`

Lucinda talks about why it is that users find themselves unable to engage with systems in the long term following change, how to motivate them to want to embrace new ways of working and the processes, roles, and responsibilities you need to embed any kind of new system in the workplace.

Key Takeaways

Buy-in is key. Resistance can sometimes arise when people aren’t involved in the formation of the idea itself, which is why we should consider involving people from the outset.
Change is only ever truly embraced when people do not feel as though change is being done to them, rather than for them.
When people resist change, it’s purely because they are not motivated enough to change. This might be the case due to their lack of understanding of the bigger picture.
Many organisations roll out the technical vision and implement a system, then communicate the change in the expectation that it will take effect. What’s required is persistence and the empowering of others.
