UNLOCK THE VALUE
Technology is only as good as those willing to utilise its power; the true value comes from people. Unlock this value by ensuring your people are equipped to adopt the new technology. It’s not as straightforward as simply upskilling; a cultural revolution is required within the business, one that oozes innovation. According to a study by Capgemini Consulting, ‘only one in ten adults in the US feels they have sufficient computer and Internet skills to use the digital tools they’re responsible for in their daily work’. So how can we achieve such a culture shift across an organisation?
REACH + RESOURCE = REVOLUTION
Reach
If employees can’t hear you, they won’t listen. Reach out to your audience with timely, clear and concise messaging. Keep stakeholders up-to-date and aligned and retain employee confidence with quality communications throughout the transformation journey.
Video remains by far the most effective medium, with Forrester reporting that ‘people are up to 75% more likely to watch a video than read documents or online articles’. Video messages are easier to retain (60% over face-to-face training), whilst also presenting a human touch to the message. After all, this is people transformation too.
Resource
Innovative technology, such as machine learning, AI and IoT, is being introduced to improve and streamline business processes, however, according to PMI ‘75% of executives say they’re still waiting to reap tangible benefits from disruptive technology’.
To nurture our people into digital leaders, we need resources for learning available and kept up to date. Video libraries are great for upskilling and teaching new processes, allowing individuals to learn at their own pace, with access to content as and when they need it. Online learning typically requires 40-60% less employee time than learning the same material in a traditional classroom setting. It’s easy to see why many individuals and organisations prefer this method.
Revolution
Weave these two concepts into the fabric of the business, and you will see a new culture develop; an engaged workforce, inspired to go above and beyond their upskilling requirements and often sharing their knowledge. Getting people involved via webinars with live Q&A can bring huge value to the programme, along with support networks that allow learners to engage with one another. Watch as your people transform with the business, and as long as you keep communicating, no-one will get left behind!
