Having the organization treat it as the norm. The trouble is ‘the norm’ doesn’t go away and too often the organization gets used to the change being something different. Something they do on the side. Unless you can take away some if those things that continue the norm it is often hard for people to fit the new stuff in. Remove the old tools if you can ( this is where IT is great: just ask them to delete it en masse). Do not accept the old report and only ask for the new one. Drop the old measures and replace with the new. You can do this if you’ ve truly got what Heather suggests you have in her first line: leadership report. Convince them to drop the old report, sanction the tools, change the measures and you have a chance in this important test of your change.
