DID YOU EVER TRY INTRODUCING NEW IDEAS AT WORK?
piece OF CAKE?
OR DID YOU RUN INTO A FEW OBSTACLES?
Hey guys, I just heard about xBa5iL at CRAFT! It’s so
cool!
WTF? How come Dan got time off for that? We’re busy!
Take #1 NOPE WE’RE BUSY!
Why does no one listen to me? What’s wrong with them?
Hey guys, I just heard about xBa5iL at CRAFT! It’s so
cool!
Wow Dan’s so wise. Let’s get started right
away!!!
BUT ARE WE READY FOR YAY?
Maybe I need to work on this a bit more …
INVEST IN YOUR IDEA
Little by little, the bird makes
his nest
DO IT YOURSELF
PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES
PICK YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY
Ditch the jargon & buzzwords
WHAT INTERESTS THEM?
Hey guys, how’s it going? Interested in a
lunchtime session about xBa5iL?
It could help with our build times.
Dan! He can help with this live
issue. Build times are a pain but
later.
Take #2
A few people showed up for my session about xBa5iL but no one’s using it yet. I give up…
Hi. Is this the xBa5iL User Group? I’ve been trying to use it at work but
run into some issues
Oh really? That sounds
interesting. Tell us more..
Take #3
One BY ONE
How do I do that?
Are we allowed to do that?
Do we have time? What if it goes wrong?
Not my idea.
Might be hard work.
MANY REASONS FOR RESISTING CHANGE
START DIGGING
SHOW RESPECT
EMBRACE SKEPTICS
LISTEN CAREFULLY
REALLY LISTEN
Hang on! Vikki you’ve worked here for a few years. What are your thoughts on
speeding up the build?
Well, about 6 months ago, we got
started on build automation but
then management told us it wasn’t a priority. Want me to dig out our setup?
