Several months ago, I developed a nagging pain in my right shoulder. Nothing much at first, but over time, it got worse. Initially, I ignored the pain and hoped it would resolve itself. But it didn’t. So I tried several common over-the-counter remedies; the ones that everyone takes. They provided some improvement, but none resolved my problem.

When I was a kid in grade school, I always hated homework because it often stood in the way of going outside to play with my friends. I can remember joking around with them and saying that we needed to build a robot to do our homework for us. That way, we could spend our after school time riding bikes and playing together.

In my previous blog on change management, we examined the natural and inevitable cycle of change that people go through during times of change. We explored how resistance to change is often a more troubling problem than even the most complicated tangle of technology, and how project managers and systems integrators need to account for these human factors. Indeed, no matter how innovative new systems and technology are, or how thoughtfully we have put together our strategies, if people resist change and find ways to sabotage our efforts, it is unlikely that even the best technical implementation will have meaningful success.

In the words of the great John Lennon, "You may say I’m a dreamer...but I’m not the only one." According to AIIM research, 75% of the organizations we surveyed view digital transformation as “important” or “very important” to their organization. But why? Most respondents pointed to operational savings as a result of a more digital and connected workflow. In other words: cut the paper, cut the inefficiencies.

It is common to take great care in the selection and implementation of new technology. Interactions between hardware and software are cautiously investigated; operating systems and network connections are carefully tested, and uptime on critical systems is painstakingly protected. But one very influential factor that is often overlooked is the natural and emotional reactions of people when things change. If people resist change, find ways to sabotage your efforts or become angry or withdrawn, it is unlikely that even the best technology strategies will have meaningful success.

Everyone has a process for onboarding new hires, contractors, consultants, etc. There's a checklist to follow: issue the badge, issue the keys to the office and the parking garage, and of course set up the Active Directory account, the email account, and all the other information management system set-up tasks.
