Nowadays, companies are aware that they need to adapt to new technologies if they don't want to fall behind and be overtaken by the competition. However, most of them are currently preparing or in the process of implementing these technologies. The key question is: how to do it successfully?
The most challenging part of implementing management projects in an infrastructure is getting started. It's about getting the ball rolling. It's a fact that people find it difficult to change their way of doing things. Well, let's be honest, we can also be a bit lazy.
Technological adaptation is the process by which potential users of the technology learn how to use it and make it their own, incorporating it into their work processes as originally intended during its development. This will only be possible if people integrate this technology into their day-to-day work, using it and ensuring that the technology brings about changes.

As the philosopher Thomas Reid said, "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link." Everyone must work to understand the vision of why the change is necessary and find their own motivation to integrate technology into their work processes. People in positions of authority should lead by example to achieve the greatest success in the learning and adoption process of the new tool.
In any technology adoption project, there will be risks, so it is important to go through a risk identification and management process. These risks can be related to people, the technology being used, or external factors beyond the company's control. It is essential to identify potential issues that could harm the project and maintain control over all activities.
When incorporating risk management and technology adoption processes into IT projects, we are creating a much larger project that requires detailed control. Typically, such approaches are incorporated into the development of a Technology Plan that can guide the company's digital transformation. It is precisely when we combine and integrate an IT project with a people management project that we can talk about initiatives that transform businesses.
To manage change and handle technology adoption, it's essential to raise awareness among teams and create an environment that promotes change. In many companies, there are people of different ages, with varying levels of seniority in the company, varying levels of digital proficiency, unique experiences, different levels of responsibility and hierarchy... All these circumstances mean that some teams can be drivers of change, but they can also hinder change.
