Management Software

2. Why can it be difficult to make even simple tools work?

• even simple tools involve change, which two-third’s of staff naturally resist.
• there is a learning curve which requires individual and group commitment and discipline.
• haphazard utilization across the team renders any tool unproductive over time.

Dealing with the Why questions up front with your group goes a long way towards generating buy-in and reducing barriers to implementation.  At their best, Why questions not only surface and reduce resistance, they also identify the needs to be solved by using a tool such as ManagePro.

Successful implementation of a tool such as ManagePro means clearly identifying how it is going to be a solution to specific needs.  It means identifying needs before presenting a solution.  It means identifying barriers in both practice and perception, and actively removing them.   Successful implementation means starting with the Why questions before moving to the familiar What, When, How and Who questions.
