If employees don\u2019t know how to use this technology, there\u2019s no point in implementing it.

Members of the Group IT Service and Technology department respond to around 134 monthly demands \u2013 and can have up to 250 active projects at any given time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from spreadsheets, notes, and emails, their teams didn\u2019t have a standardized solution to manage their workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We needed a way to manage and provide visibility of the demand throughout its lifecycle,\u201d recalls the PMO Delivery Lead for Group IT Services and Technology. We also wanted to drive simplification and productivity, reducing the amount of time spent on reporting meetings and working out what was happening within the projects.<\/p><cite>PMO Delivery Lead, Global Telecom Leader<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The company turned to Planview Planview AdaptiveWork<sup>TM<\/sup> for demand management software that would improve the way they managed their project portfolio. But first, they had to overcome a major hurdle when introducing the solution. They had to convince teams to adopt it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to&nbsp;Harvard Business Review, <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2017\/11\/what-everyone-gets-wrong-about-change-management\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">about three-quarters of organizational change efforts collapse<\/a>. One of the most common factors in failed change efforts is the failure to gain buy-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PMO Delivery Lead recognized the need for employee buy-in regarding crucial changes to the ways the organization operated. Getting this part wrong could result in a wave of push-back or skepticism about the change and its value.<br><br>Here\u2019s how she got teams across the organization invested in the demand management software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-demonstrate-the-value-of-the-solution\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Demonstrate_the_Value_of_the_Solution\"><\/span>1. Demonstrate the Value of the Solution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Saying no to change is easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agreeing to change means more work. That\u2019s why so many within an organization will resist change, even if it\u2019s a great initiative or innovative idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/what-are-the-goals-of-change-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">When you\u2019re driving change<\/a>, it\u2019s vital that your target audience knows why they should care about what you\u2019re offering. The PMO took the time to communicate the benefits this change brought to teams and tailored those benefits to their respective roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe put together training sessions based on different job roles to introduce users and walk them through the functionality,\u201d said the PMO Delivery Lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She and her team also created short videos with instructions on how to complete certain activities. These videos focused on how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/products-solutions\/products\/clarizen\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">effectively manage capacity and better track the demand lifecycle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These resources helped team members get accustomed to using demand management software, while showing the value Planview Planview AdaptiveWork brings to the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The main benefits were to provide improved visibility, driving decision making within the organization \u2013 particularly around understanding the key risks and issues, and prioritizing work for the engineering teams.<\/p><cite>PMO Delivery Lead, Global Telecom Leader<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-get-support-throughout-the-organization\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Get_Support_Throughout_the_Organization\"><\/span>2. Get Support Throughout the Organization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, the department recruited volunteers from each business area and asked them to provide a champion to support the solution. These champions were responsible for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Creating open lines of communication between Group IT Service and Technology and other departments.<\/li><li>Providing updates and passing information to their colleagues.<\/li><li>Delivering feedback, questions, and concerns from their departments to Group IT Service and Technology.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We found having input from key users early on is a must. So, we asked them to take information back to the teams about some of the capabilities and functionality that were going to come out of the tool. And also, for them to then bring feedback to us, ensuring that we were meeting the needs of the business.<\/p><cite>PMO Delivery Lead, Global Telecom Leader<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/what-is-a-project-champion\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">The strategy of recruiting champions<\/a> worked exceptionally well. The champions ensured their teams understood the value of the demand management software and felt comfortable using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-incentivize-your-change-management-journey\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Incentivize_Your_Change_Management_Journey\"><\/span>3. Incentivize Your Change Management Journey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A natural response to employee resistance is to simply impose new rules and penalties. But this strategy runs the risk of sending the wrong message and creating long-term friction as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PMO Delivery Lead understood that creating an incentive to support the change journey is more effective than maintaining rigid rules and penalizing those who resist. So, she ran marketing campaigns aimed at providing information on Planview Planview AdaptiveWork\u2019s implementation. She even distributed stickers, lanyards, and information flyers throughout the organization to encourage people to attend company-sponsored lunch-and-learn information sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We ran a competition with prizes throughout the whole process to get people to attend calls. We gave them additional prizes if they did a presentation within their monthly team meetings on what was coming,&#8221; said the PMO Delivery Lead. &#8220;I think that was the most effective thing that we did to help all of the users come along the journey and understand what was going on.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incentives are one of the main links between people and change. The objective wasn\u2019t to merely coerce compliance, but to nudge employees toward different experiences that will promote interest and enthusiasm for what&#8217;s new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Planview Planview AdaptiveWork has definitely become the center of our organization. And that success could not have been realized without buy-in from the people.<\/p><cite>PMO Delivery Lead, Global Telecom Leader<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-have-a-plan-for-your-change-management-journey\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Have_a_Plan_for_Your_Change_Management_Journey\"><\/span>Have a Plan for Your Change Management Journey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This leading telecommunications company made an effort to train teams and demonstrate the benefits of adopting Planview Planview AdaptiveWork as their demand management software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result? A streamlined demand lifecycle with increased visibility, better reporting on resources and capacity, and improved decision making around the prioritization of work.
