Overhauling an enterprise’s technology resources can call for more than a budget and a bright idea to streamline and innovate. Getting the “buy-in” among stakeholders across the organization is a vital aspect of investments in new technology. That can be a complicated ask, especially if the introduction of new tech appears to be at odds with those stakeholders’ interests.
In this episode of the InformationWeek podcast, Michael Leland, field CTO for Island, and Diane Ma, US finance strategy and global business services practice leader for Deloitte, discussed how leaders might encourage organizations to embrace a new tech investment.
Which stakeholders within the organization are vital to get on board for the overhaul to work? What happens if the new tech exceeds the budget? How should the rollout and training of staff be approached? How should the impact of a tech overhaul be assessed?
Ma and Leland shared their ideas on those questions, and more — including taking their turns with tabletop exercises.
