ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
If technology is really so great, so helpful and so enabling, why do so many managers have war stories about how difficult it can be to get their people to embrace it when it’s here to stay? Why is it that, despite all the obvious benefits and funding given by NCSS and Toteboard, SSAs are still worried and reluctant to embrace it completely?
The crux of the matter is:
-
While most decisions about technology in the workplace are made on a rational basis, what is rational to you may not be rational to others.
-
People quite often change their minds, going from acceptance to resistance and back again. People change their minds all the time, so they obviously do the same with new technologies. So, this ding-donging is very exhausting, and you would want to give up or stop at your entry level.
-
While the funders can provide a very comprehensive range of tech support from subsidies to advisory and digital implementation consultancy and digital planning, this does not address the need of SSAs sufficiently.
-
Every SSA has different needs and digital focuses, so supplying a fast and simple solution to the problem will only make them question whether you understand their problems and needs. The solution lies in involving their people (management and users), which takes time, effort and commitment.
This workshop aims to help charities to have a practical understanding and confidence on how to introduce technology to their workplace for success or back paddle them to review their understanding of the need and use of technology in their organisation and how to use grants and get consultants to help them fix problems.
Your deep appreciation of the methods and understanding of technology in your workplace is essential so that you do not end up with different piece meal approaches and bear unnecessary technological costs after the funds end. For you to succeed you or/and your staff must have good understanding of your needs over the coming years, staying committed to the change and owning the journey.
