Imagine constructing a skyscraper but only deciding where to place the foundation after the first few floors are built. Sounds risky, right? Yet, this is exactly how many organizations approach IT implementations—they focus on technology first and people later, leading to delays, confusion, and resistance.
Timing in IT transformation is everything. The success of your project isn’t just about what you implement—it’s about when and how you engage your teams, align leadership, and prepare for change. If you wait too long, you’ll be stuck in reactive mode, scrambling to fix adoption issues instead of ensuring a smooth transition.
The Cost of Bad Timing in IT Implementations
Too Late = Low Adoption & High Resistance: If change management and user engagement start too late, employees will feel blindsided, leading to pushback, workarounds, and reduced trust in the system. Training becomes rushed, and critical workflows are misunderstood, causing productivity losses right when the system goes live.
Too Early = Unclear Expectations & Fatigue: While early preparation is key, starting too soon without a clear roadmap can cause confusion. Employees may tune out important updates or resist the change due to a lack of tangible details.
Just Right = Seamless Adoption & ROI: The best IT implementations strike a balance. They engage stakeholders early enough to shape decisions while ensuring employees receive the right information at the right time—not all at once.
