Change Management and Effective Implementation

When introducing anything new into our personal life, within an organization or the society – it is natural to recognize that the introduction of change must be managed, or we will not achieve the desired outcome. That brings us to the meaning of Change Management – a process, tool and technique developed to manage the people side of change, in order to achieve an optimal business outcome. It is a systematic management of employee, client engagement and adoption when a new method is presented. Ultimately, change management focuses on how to help employee accept and utilize change in their daily activities. 

Effectively managing change requires an individual and organizational perspective

Individual Change Management

This is focused on understanding how people react to change. Prosci’s ADKAR Model describes change as successful when an individual has:

  • Awareness of the need for change
  • Desire to get involved and support change
  • Knowledge on how to change
  • Ability to implement required skills
  • Reinforcement to sustain the implemented skills

If any of the above listed is missing, then the change has a high tendency to fail. In summary, in leading the people side of change – you must ensure that they have awareness, desire, knowledge, ability and reinforcement.

Organizational Change Management

This perspective of change management is the process that teams utilize to support successful individual change. To further clarify, organizational change management (OCM) is the set of actions to help build awareness, desire, knowledge, ability and reinforcement across the organization. Some of these actions that help an organization implement change are:

  • Communication plan – Create an effective plan that is targeted for each of the different impacted audiences
  • Sponsorship roadmap – Build a coalition of support with senior leaders and managers
  • Coaching plan – Organize the change coaching session to engage managers and supervisors. Once they familiarize themselves with the change, then conduct both group and individual sessions to engage frontline employees
  • Training plan – Identify the skills and capabilities that are needed, and plan a comprehensive training session
  • Resistance management plan – Monitor resistance and develop set of steps that you can take to answer these objections. 

Change management practitioners are the drivers of strategy and plan development. In times of change, it is the effectiveness of senior leaders, sponsors, coaches and managers that will determine whether a project succeed or fails.

How Cybercrime and Threat Can Impact the Business – Delta Data Services LLC

How Cybercrime and Threat Can Impact the Business

How Cybercrime and Threat Can Impact the Business

The average cost of a cyberattack in 2021, according to IBM Security, was $4.20 million*. This number alone should convince both large-scale organizations or SMEs that cyberthreats must be handled seriously. Cybercrimes are very much a threat to any business that uses the internet to operate or control any element of its operations, especially IT businesses which is entirely linked to the online/cloud world. Maintaining the cybersecurity of customer or partner database stored on cloud or internal networks should be a top priority for businesses.

Just like tech, cyberattacks are becoming gradually enhanced. Their aim is most often monetary gain. Recovering from a cyberattack is a painstaking and long procedure that results in being extremely costly. 

  • Social engineering is to trick individuals into giving the attackers access to their internet accounts or computers. The goal of these cyber assaults is to get individuals to click on a malicious link or file. Phishing is the most popular form of social engineering as it tricks users into disclosing personal information. 
  • Malware is a type of malicious software that infiltrates systems and networks with the intent of compromising and potentially stealing data. That is the most common cyberattack which is continuously evolving.
  • DDoS (distributed denial of service) is a common exploit used by cyber criminals to extort money. A DDoS threat occurs when hackers flood a victim’s network with traffic that their servers can’t manage, leading the network to breakdown and become unavailable to customers and workers, resulting in downtime as well as financial and reputational harm. In exchange for restoring the network to its prior state, the hackers then demand payment.

    A security breach may be classified into three types of consequences: financial, reputational, and legal. 

  1. Theft of confidential data: Businesses will often pay expenditures connected with fixing compromised systems, networks, and devices as a result of the breach.
  2. Reputational Damage: Cybercrimes have the authority to deteriorate your company’s goodwill and destroy your consumers’ faith in you.
  3. Legal consequences of a cyber breach Data protection and privacy rules require you to keep track of the security of any personal information you have about your employees or clients. You might face penalties and regulatory punishments if sensitive data is unintentionally or intentionally compromised.


A successful cyber attack would be devastating to your company. It may have an impact on your financial line, as well as your company’s reputation and consumer trust. Recovering a business from cyberattacks is expensive and can have a negative influence on the company’s connection with its consumers. Businesses will have to keep one step ahead of cybercrime as it gets more sophisticated and advanced.

Laserfiche: Why you should move ECM to Cloud

Organizations across the planet are now in the cloud. The cloud is now an important approach for enterprises to host Enterprise Content Management (ECM) applications, providing fast processing power, various pricing models, flexible storage options, and extravagant off-premise support all in one enterprise content management service agreement. Gone were the days when businesses had to worry about the enterprise content management system and they used to hire extra staff for documents management and process supervision. Now with the cloud ECM solutions, organizations are decluttering and getting safer than ever. According to the researchers at Levvel, over 70% of today’s organizations are migrating to the cloud.*


Save on Hardware maintenance and Staffing cost:

If your business has decided to move your ECM tool to the cloud, it often means you can assign ownership and management of hardware and software to your cloud provider. This reduces content maintenance cost and staffing expenses, according to Laserfiche


Maintain Limitless Repository:

Major benefits of using cloud based ECM include the power capability, scalable approach, unlimited storage, and fast speed available — and Laserfiche provides all of those. Organizations have a lot of data to store from invoices, HR content, marketing documents, financial records, or visual charts and diagrams. Having a limitless repository to store the sprawling massive content is the right choice — actually like a hard disc that does not fill up.


Protects Data and increases Confidentiality:

Do you really think your internal security is better than that provided by Laserfiche? A transition to the cloud can keep the critical data behind the firewall and there is a solution ready to go in case of a natural disaster. Staff members who work remotely or from home can easily access the data available on cloud.


Now is the time when all businesses should start designing a strategy for migrating ECM to the cloud to solve a straightforward content problem that needs to be addressed, as most enterprises have made the transition already and those who haven’t are lacking behind. Among all cloud ECM, Laserfiche is the world leader in terms of ECM that changes how your office runs.

Looking to move your ECM to the cloud? Try Laserfiche! We will set up and integrate all the ECM features in your business cloud.

What is Business SWOT Analysis

DDS SWOT Analysis

You may have heard the term "SWOT analysis" if you’ve ever worked in a corporate office setting. This has nothing to do with analyzing militarized police enforcement response units and everything to do with examining your business in-depth. S.W.O.T. is an acronym that stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. A SWOT analysis is an organized list of your business’s greatest strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

Strength

  • What your business excels at
  • Characteristics that set you apart from your competition
  • Internal resources include competent and knowledgeable personnel.
  • Intellectual property, cash, proprietary technology, and other tangible assets
Weakness

  • Things your business is missing
  • Things that your competitors excel at
  • Resources are limited.
  • Uncertainty about the unique selling proposition
Opportunity

  • Specific product markets that are underserved
  • There aren’t many competitors in your neighborhood.
  • Needs for your products or services that aren’t being met yet
  • Your company’s press/media coverage
Threat

  • Competitors on the rise
  • The regulatory climate is changing.
  • Press/media coverage that is negative
  • Changing client perceptions of your business
You’ll have a good approach for prioritizing the tasks you need to perform to build your business if you take the time to complete a SWOT analysis. You may believe you already know all you need to succeed, but a SWOT analysis will drive you to look at your company with an angle of 360 degrees and from new perspectives. You’ll examine your strengths and limitations, as well as how you may use them to take advantage of market opportunities and threats.

Ensure to enter good notes on your Activities. If you cannot save, ensure all required fields, including Description, are filled in.
