- Set clear, measurable objectives that showcase the benefits of the new technology to the entire team.

- Facilitate training sessions to ensure all members are confident and competent with the new tools.

    New technology adoption can divide IT teams, some embrace it, others resist. The key to alignment? Clarity, involvement, and support. 🔹 Transparent Communication – Explain the why behind the change. 🔹 Involvement Over Imposition – Let the team contribute to decisions. 🔹 Hands-on Learning – Provide training & safe testing environments. 🔹 Early Wins – Small successes build confidence. 🔹 Gradual Adoption – Implement changes step by step. Tech adoption isn’t just about new tools, it’s about a growth mindset! 🚀

    Acredito que o primeiro passo seja, conquistar a confiança de ambos os lados mostrando empenho em alçar a metas do projeto, ao mesmo tempo que precisamos demostra interesse em ouvir a equipe demostrando sensibilidade aos pontos de vista.

    Team divisions can stall growth. Bring your IT team together on new tech: 1. Communicate openly. Hold a forum for all opinions. 2. Explain the 'why' of the change. Make it relevant to company and personal growth. 3. Address problems directly. Facilitate transitions with training and assistance. 4. Find group champions to lead by example. 5. Measure progress and appreciate little triumphs. 6. Be adaptable. Adjust the plan based on input and results. Unity doesn't mean uniformity. Diverse viewpoints foster innovation. Unifying everyone around a success vision is crucial. Can you turn resistance into enthusiasm for your next IT project?

    The key to a successful team lies in balancing empathetic leadership with a strong focus on results. When each member feels truly heard, recognized, and valued, an environment of trust and motivation is created. This strengthens the bonds between team members, encouraging cooperation and synergy. In this way, challenges and resistance cease to be obstacles and become opportunities for collective growth, turning potential conflicts into genuine collaboration in pursuit of a common goal.

    Acredito que uma equipe ciente do planejamento estratégico da instituição, conheça os objetivos e as prioridades. Entendo que este é o primeiro passo. Depois ouvir cada gestor e entender os pontos em divergência, dificuldades e impactos. Valorizar as contribuições e trabalhar para que todos compreendam e se sintam parte do programa.

    Como Director de Finance Transformation en PwC México, he visto que el cambio tecnológico solo se consolida cuando el equipo lo hace suyo. Involucro a todos desde el diagnóstico, uso pilotos con quick wins visibles y reconozco públicamente a quienes adoptan primero. Esto transforma la resistencia en liderazgo. 🔍 ¿Mi mejor estrategia? Hacer del cambio una co-creación, no una imposición.
