Technological change brings about many challenges because of the very nature of the changes it involves. Workers who are usually comfortable in the way they work can anticipate change as something that creates a zone of discomfort and many will not feel at ease with the desired change.
Most technological implementation failures are due to the lack of preparation, communication to key stakeholders such as employees, unions, etc.
Although substancial amounts of money is invested in complex Information Systems, very little effort is put in key activities that will increase the project’s chance of success.
Managing technological change forces public organizations to review almost all of it’s work processes, employee tasks and responsibilities. Information System implementation conditions as well as implementation strategies (managing resistances, evaluation risks and consequences) are key aspects of a technological change project. A good technological change project involves a structured implementation plan, as well as communication strategies.
