When working with clients who are hesitant about change, I focus on illustrating the benefits. I share real-life examples and data to show how new ideas can improve their business outcomes. My team and I also believe in starting small, implementing incremental changes to build confidence and trust. I recall a project where a small pilot project alleviated concerns and encouraged the client to adopt more innovative solutions. By listening actively and addressing concerns, we help clients transform from skeptical to enthusiastic about embracing change.

I would listen to their concerns, understand their resistance, and show them how the change can be simpler and more beneficial for their business, leading to more profit. Stepping out of the comfort zone isn’t easy, but trying new approaches and taking risks can lead to great opportunities.

Every consultant and leader faces resistance to change. The key is understanding that resistance is rarely about change but uncertainty and fear of the unknown. Engaging clients in the process, linking change to their goals, and using small, quick wins to build momentum can make a huge difference.

I hit them with a ‘what if’ scenario—what if their biggest competitor adapts first? ?? Then, I break it down: small, low-risk tweaks that show quick wins. Once they see results, they’re the ones asking for more innovation.

1. Give them the taste. 2. Highlight the Advantages/benefits 3. Whats that one thing? 4. Show them the graph If client struck to the older technology resistant to new technologies, better to prepare them the POC of the newer projects samples with the new technology and by highlighting every benefits in a dashboard and by highlighting what the one thing that was the problem in the past that got permanent fixes here has to be displayed effective .
