Why do we do stupid things during our Kronos Implementation?

1. It's easier and we're really busy

2. It's how we've (they've) always done it

3. It's what everyone else is doing

4. Change is HARD

5. It can be difficult to get buy-in for change

1. 1. Try to talk a senior leader into something without being really ready for his challenges (read "needs more information") = tough

   2. How can the employees possibly handle the change?

Yes. It is all about change. If you are already overwhelmed, and you know change is really time consuming, and you don't know for sure if the change will ultimately save you and your company time, and the unknown could be worse or no better than what you have now...

Why Change?

And did I mention change is hard? Change takes discipline. Yes, discipline. As Chris Brogan once said, "Discipline is setting up the perfect environment to achieve the goals you have." As a Kronos Project Guide or Engagement Manager one must do exactly this every day.

How do you handle change? Is change inherently good? What's the best payoff you've experienced sheep-hearding change?
