Learn to navigate technological change effectively within your culture change initiatives using new technologies.

In my experience creating a psychologically safe organisational culture is the foundation we can build on when we plan any kind of transformation. Making mistakes, speaking up, being able to ask questions, voicing vulnerability, sharing doubts helps embracing change and acquire the buy-in of all parties involved. The WOW (way of working) can only follow the WOT (way of thinking). Mindset change is the root of all transformation, unfortunately often overlooked by decision-makers. This is why we see that 93% of transformational efforts failing.

Here's how you can navigate the rapid pace of technological change in Culture Change.

Navigating the rapid pace of technological change is a challenge for any organization. Culture change, a skill that involves adapting and evolving the collective behaviors, values, and practices within a group or society, is essential in this process. The key lies in understanding that technology not only offers new tools but also shapes the way people think and interact. To stay ahead, you need to be proactive in embracing these changes and fostering an environment where learning and adaptation are part of the culture. This article will guide you through the steps necessary to effectively manage and leverage the fast-evolving landscape of technology within your culture change initiatives.

1 Embrace Change

Embracing change is the first step in navigating the technological landscape. Understand that resistance to new technologies is often rooted in fear of the unknown. Encourage a mindset of continuous learning and flexibility within your organization. Create opportunities for team members to experiment with new tools and solutions, and make it clear that adaptability is a valued skill. By fostering an environment that sees change as an opportunity rather than a threat, you can build a resilient culture that thrives in the face of technological evolution.

Para abraçar a mudança é importante abrir a mente. Ser Humano por natureza tem receio de mudança (medo instintivo de preservação), então para gerar uma mudança cultural devemos criar um ambiente que permite que as pessoas possam questionar, possam errar, possam sugerir coisas que aparentemente não se encaixam no cenário (o que muitas vezes se mostra como uma ótima ideia).

2 Stay Informed

Keeping abreast of technological trends is crucial. Dedicate time to research and understand emerging technologies that may impact your field. Subscribe to industry newsletters, attend relevant workshops, and participate in online forums where professionals discuss new developments. This doesn't mean you need to become an expert in every new technology, but having a solid understanding allows you to make informed decisions about which innovations could benefit your culture change efforts.

In addition, with new generations come new ideas—lots of them. From my experience, if an idea needs to be successful in terms of strategic planning it has to be:- * Politically acceptable * Socially desirable * Technologically feasible *Financially viable * Administratively doable * Judicially attainable * Emotionally relatable * Environmentally sustainable

Solicit feedback from your team and be prepared to make adjustments as needed.
