Introducing a new tech tool into your organisation is not always easy. Differing skill levels and resistance from staff is not uncommon. The following checklist may help:
- Decide on one tool to try
- Among the staff who will be using the tool find out who has used it before
- Find out from this group whether the tool you want to use is compatible with their computer
- Invite a small group of staff to trial using the tool in an informal, relaxed way
- Provide several opportunities after this initial trial to enable participants to get really comfortable with the tool
- Get one or more of these people to teach others in the organisation how to use the tool
