We Trained You Why Didnt You Learn A Case Study In Change Managementjhoebler
So everything is done on your project plan – the conversion worked perfectly, the interfaces are humming along, even that tough customization is working properly – why are your end users in a panic? In this session, we will present a case study on change management’s role in not only training the users, but enabling them to learn the new tools and processes and adopting them as part of their daily lives. We will review our plan, what went right, what went wrong and how this multi-billion dollar government contractor managed to take an entrenched user community and turn them into believers of the “new” system – which in turn saved the company money, time and effort.
This is an interesting 5-M Model to evaluate whether a new business idea hold the potential to become a sustainable business. It also shows the process and stages of angel investments.

"The sales operations team must be the key driver and catalyst for increased productivity across the sales organization, setting the vision for its future and maintaining the path toward this vision.

15. Myths and truths about automation – part I
• It sounds intimidating
– That’s largely because we think ‘we have to do it in a single shot’, ‘we have to do a lot of
changes’, ‘it is a single project’, ‘it is going to take a whole lot of time’.... So on and so
forth .
– We don’t have to rush and ‘do-all-in-one-shot’. We can find the best way which
manages perceptions and rate of rate of growth at the same time.
• Process automation sounds threatening
– This is largely because somehow a negative picture is painted. Process automation is
understood as something which makes people jobless.
– Because a few corporate giants have taken that path of ‘layoffs’ in the name of process
automations.
– Process automation, instead, improves working environment – it is a way to achieve
more with same number of people.
Signy IT Solutions Pvt Ltd 15
16. Myths and truths about automation – part II
• Process automation is made to perceive as extremely difficult
– That’s largely because vendors want to charge a bomb for such projects.
– That’s also because the myth that every automation initiative should be integrated with
the other such initiatives.
– There is absolutely no need to get mesmerized with the thought of ‘integrate all’. We
can find optimum solutions for automating and improving business processes. We make
it easy for the customers.
• Process automation is made to perceive as extremely costly
– That’s, again, largely because vendors want to charge a premium price.
• Process automation is a ‘change’ – a natural resistance to change is a big block
– This can be managed by effective communication.
– The truth is – nobody resists his/her own progress.

– To ensure the groundwork for increasing your return on investment (ROI)

20. Philosophy - H2O
• We believe in H2O philosophy i.e.
– Honesty,
– Humility
– Ownership
• H2O has evolved over the years with our experience of working in progressive
economies like India, Kenya etc.
• We have understood that markets with lesser penetration of IT need some hand
holding when it comes to injecting new applications or IT enabled services.
• We have seen people / companies spending and losing huge amounts on small
and large IT projects, reason being lack of honesty, humility and ownership on IT
vendors’ part.
• In all H2O is the base of our work culture.
