ways to keep people at the center
of your innovation strategy.
Technology mobilized the world at
the onset of the pandemic, but now
the potential of innovation to help us
not only get through the next stage
of recovery but also excel in getting
work done is clear. How are you using
innovation to find talent and keep
people engaged with their work and
each other? Here are five ways to help
your organization keep people at the
center of your technology strategy:
Collaboration tools are key
during these volatile times, so
be sure to budget appropriately
for such investments. Include
training in that plan to ensure
people know how to get the
most out of those tools.

Identify pain points that
cause bottlenecks in your
workflow and the solutions
that can help you eliminate
these hot spots.
When deciding on technologies,
make sure you have a project
team representative of the
people who will use the tool.
Their feedback and point of view
will be critical in understanding
which solutions can make the
strongest impact.
Don't be afraid to cut your
losses if a technology fails to
live up to its promise. It's better
to abandon an ineffective
purchase than to force people
to continue using something
that delivers little reward.
Consider building a home-grown solution
if the right commercial one can't be
found. This approach may lead to a better
adoption and outcomes than trying to
force-fit an off-the-shelf product that
doesn't match your people's needs.
