well i would like to proceed with the following action plan :) 1 - Understand Concerns : will try to identify and understand team fears and will try to address them. 2- Communicate Benefits and Reasons to Change: Highlight how the methodology solves problems and aligns with goals. 4- Provide Training: Offer resources, mentoring, and tools for smoothly adoption of the new methodology. 3- Invite them to be Contributors : Engage them early, seek input, and start with a small pilot. 4. Show Quick Wins: Demonstrate success on a small scale and celebrate results with them. 5. Encourage experimentation and create feedback loops.

Design methodologies are subjective for various reasons like the skill set we have, designs we were exposed, designs we have seen majority follows. Changing the focus from subjective to objective impact on business needs and transformation required to support it, will make the team to shift gears and succeed. The beauty of this question is it's applicable to all, even to leaders. The best way is to bring up a culture where we focus on objectively articulating the change with its benefits and give enough time for analysis.

If the team is hesitant on a design which is similar to changing the jaguar logo then I would second the decision. Design is all about thinking out of the box and collaboration towards a singular goal, but if the team has doubts then it needs to be met with some discussion which will help unfold the problem and develop a simple and effective solution. I would put out the data from market research and user feedback creating a poll to let the team decide an outcome.

One of the main reasons people resist change is fear of the unknown or lack of skill. Offer workshops, tutorials, and continuous support to help everyone get comfortable with the new methods. Bring key team members into the conversation early on. Let them provide input on the new methods and ask for their feedback. This helps create a sense of ownership and reduces the feeling of being forced into something unfamiliar and also By taking a proactive, empathetic, and strategic approach, you can help others embrace the new design methods and move forward together.

To overcome resistance to new design methodologies, focus on collaboration and education. Start by explaining the benefits and aligning the methodology with team goals, using real-world examples. Involve team members early in the decision-making process to address concerns and build buy-in. Provide hands-on training and pilot projects to demonstrate value in a low-risk setting. Celebrate quick wins and gather feedback to refine the process. Emphasizing how the new approach enhances efficiency and creativity can help ease the transition and foster adoption.
