What do you do if key stakeholders in IT Strategy are resistant to change?

Understand their concerns and address them with empathy. Clearly communicate the benefits of the proposed changes, backed by data and success stories. Involve them in the planning process to give them a sense of ownership. Provide training and support to ease the transition. Highlight the risks of not changing and how the new strategy aligns with the organization's long-term goals. Maintain open lines of communication, showing transparency and commitment to their input and concerns.

Begin by paying attention to the worries that stakeholders have regarding the suggested adjustments. Arrange private or group consultations to talk about their reservations and get thorough input. Ask open-ended inquiries to get over their objections, misunderstandings, or anxieties. Comprehending their viewpoints facilitates the customization of your strategy to tackle particular problems and cultivates a cooperative environment. Building trust and demonstrating that you respect their feedback can help lessen opposition and make the implementation of changes to IT strategy go more smoothly. This can be achieved by acknowledging and confirming their concerns.

O Entendimento e a Comunica??o deve ser eficaz quando se trata de lados que talvez n?o compreenda o real objetivo, nesse momento precisamos entender a real dor e buscar de uma maneira eficiente apresentar uma proposta que possa sanar as dores, qualquer falta de compreens?o possa ser alvo de uma falta de comunica??o adequada, sendo assim uma melhor forma de apresenta??o e pontuando objetivos claros para o preocupante possa ser útil para evitar uma comunica??o ruim e desentendimento do objetivo estratégico.

I think it is important to truly understand their concerns. Too often, one can ignore the stakeholder concerns and only focus on the benefits. I will go deep to know their pain points and usually this can be some operational issues etc. Do not rush to the process and attempts to "sell" the benefits before you truly understand what is holding them back. After knowing their real concerns, work with them step by step how the new strategy will help their business function to perform better, how they can still adjust the strategy during execution if something doesnt go right.

Highlight value: Clearly articulate how the change improves efficiency, reduces costs, or increases revenue. Use data: Support claims with concrete evidence and metrics. Address concerns: Directly respond to objections raised. Paint a positive picture: Emphasize the opportunities and potential rewards. Ninja tip: Focus on the "what's in it for them" mentality to gain buy-in.
