"Fight Change" Versus "Go with the Flow" RESULTS

It's a difficult thing - Change ! Not everyone is happy, because people build comfort zones and do not want to come out of their comfort zones. People who are impacted by change feel threatened due to various reasons "is this person trying to act smart", "why is he telling me this stuff", "I like it this way and thats what works for me best", " it will be more work for me", " I just don't time".

Having faced each of the responses given above, the best bet was to show the true value of change. Whichever way you can "Reduced Effort", " Long term benefits", "Higher Efficiency", "Better organization"..etc. Get real numbers in terms of hours, in terms of inputs from other stakeholders, in terms of long term and short term view etc.

If none of this works best is to own the change and implement it. Once people see the implementation with their own eyes they will be happier to accept change.

One critical thing that needs to be achieved before making the change is to get agreement from Sr Management. Sr Management cares about benefits in real terms, ROI, number of hours saved, collective information, way to access information better etc.

Once all the step mentioned above are implemented you are one step ahead in implementing change. :)
