Tech rollouts

It's easy to have an intention to roll out new technology to teams. In our case we have no hesitation to highly recommending technology apps like Trello, Slack and Google drive.

Like any kind of change and innovation the biggest obstacle we face is the force of habit. People are used to emails and useless meetings and reports. That's their comfort zone. What it takes to move them towards new technologies is going one step at a time aiming for progress rather than for the perfection of goal achievement.

Even when early adoptors are willing and interested in doing more, we can start by moving just one kind of email or conversation or meeting into any of these environments. Even just one transition and migration exposes most people to most of the functions they're going to use the scale into full use of all three.

Parallel to this whole effort of helping people see the benefits and unique advantages of doing so. The last thing we can do is realistically assume that people will understand immediately what the transition is about before we make it clear to them. It is also significant to involve them every step along the way in how the transition occurs.
