We asked, leaders answered
A survey of more than 500 managers involved in a recent ArcGIS implementation project measured the impact of including people-focused change management. Approximately 51 percent did not include it, while 49 percent did. The results were clear. People-focused change management pays off.
Improved project outcomes
Most respondents (75 percent) started people-focused change management at the technology project initiation or planning stage. An early start sets the stage for success.
Better on-time delivery rate
ArcGIS projects that included people-focused change management were 16 percent more likely to be completed on time or ahead of schedule than projects that did not include it.
Faster user adoption
Nineteen percent more users of people-focused change management rated the project's impact on speed of adoption as effective or very effective than those who did not use it.
Better for business
We asked the bottom-line question that all leaders care about: How satisfied are you that the project has achieved business goals? Users of people-focused change management were more than twice as likely to be very satisfied (27 percent versus 12.5 percent of nonusers).
Ultimate utilization
Technology projects succeed when technology is applied. Communication and training were the top change management activities used to prepare people for new workflows.
More technology users
Fourteen percent more change management users rated the project's impact on the number of new technology users as effective or very effective (59 percent versus 45 percent).
Higher user proficiency
Sixty percent of change management users rated their project's impact on user proficiency as effective or very effective compared to 47 percent of those who did not use it.
