Keep Moving Forward: Four Office Technologies To Consider Letting
Go Of
I have a colleague who, until several years ago, tracked most of his projects on a large chalkboard rather than using project-tracking software. The same colleague was using an older version of Microsoft Word
that produced old-style DOC files, rather than the more compact DOCX files. He still doesn't use much HTML-based mail. Why is he so resistant to change? Because when he's comfortable with a technology, it's a pain to change. He's seen lots of change over the course of his career. First he had to learn to use an electric typewriter, then a word processor, then computers of various kinds starting with Mac IIs and DOS, before moving on to Windows 3.11 and all the new Windows versions since. His
first laptop weighed 20+ pounds (it too ran on DOS). His very first computers used eight-inch floppy disks for media storage; then came three-and-a-quarter-inch floppies, CDs, Zip Drives, DVDs, low-end flash drives, USB thumb drives, and Micro-SDs. Now he's dealing with all the tablets and smartphones, too. Sound like you? It’s understandable why people get sick of learning new technologies.
Moving At The Speed of Innovation: Build A Culture Where Everyone Innovates So You Can Out-Maneuver the Marketplace and Outperform the Competition
If you aren’t continually innovating and pivoting, you are on a fast path to irrelevance. To compete and win in today’s ever-changing, fast-paced landscape, organizations and leaders must learn to create a culture where innovation is the norm and adaptability is the requirement from people of all levels of the organization.
You’ll discover how to:
Make innovation tangible and accessible so that everyone is responsible for and participates in driving innovation for your company.
Stop forcing the innovation mandate that falls short and unlock the unique innovation drivers of your teams.
Operationalize innovation so that it shows up in all aspects of your culture, not just in the one-time brainstorm sessions.
