Conquer rollout hurdles:
Overcome challenges, achieve success
Embarking on any project brings both excitement and challenges. Rollout projects are no exception. As you set out to implement new systems, processes, or initiatives, it's important to anticipate and navigate the obstacles that might arise along the way. In this section, we'll delve into the four main challenges that frequently emerge during rollout projects. By understanding and preparing for these challenges, you'll be better equipped to steer your project toward success. Let's explore these hurdles and uncover strategies to overcome them effectively.
Four main challenges you face(d) in a rollout project
New change (e.g., software) is not accepted
and usage is very low
Low or no motivation of employees
and fluctuation has risen
A project is not declared as a “change”
and thus, employees are not informed and involved
Knowledge of new goals is low
within concept for required (market) adaptation
Your are not alone!
70% of rollouts fail – due to six main reasons. Lets make sure yours is not one of them.
Here are six reasons why rollouts commonly fail and six solutions included in our change management approach to ensure that your rollout will be a success.
Reasons for failure...
1 | Poor alignment:
Lack of coordination across departments and borders
2 | Lack of understanding & communication:
Unclear strategy and objectives and conflicting priorities
3 | Inadequate resources:
Slow shifting of funds & people across business units
4 | Micromanagement:
Lack of accountability across levels due to strong top-down focus
5 | Performance culture:
Focus on performance above agility, teamwork and ambition
6 | Poor guidance:
Inadequate down-the-line leadership skills and development
...and how we solve them
Close employee integration to encourage buy-in, overarching goal understanding and to build intrinsic motivation
Stakeholder management and transparent information result in cross-functional understanding, goal focus and priorities
Stringent communication fosters understanding and motivation as employees know the Why, How and What
Employee involvement & empowerment through co-creation, clear responsibilities and adaptions to individual requirements via feedback
Internalized company values, e.g. teamwork, ambition and agility, need change measures to stay alive
Ownership and responsibility fostered through designated roles and tasks during the change initiative
Our goal is to move your rollout from vision to reality by accompanying everyone through the change
