Las unidades de negocio dudan sobre los nuevos protocolos de gobernanza de datos. ¿Cómo vencerás su resistencia?

➡️ 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Sometimes resistance comes from misunderstandings. Clarifying the purpose and benefits of the protocols can help alleviate fears. ➡️ 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Offer a phased or pilot implementation to allow business units to adapt gradually. Tailor the protocols to fit the specific needs of each unit where possible. ➡️ 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀: Share examples from other organizations or internal teams that have successfully implemented similar protocols, leading to positive outcomes.

Encouraging the adoption of new data governance protocols starts with recognizing that change can be challenging. By celebrating the efforts of those who embrace the changes—whether through a shout-out in meetings, a small bonus, or even opening up new career opportunities—we show appreciation for their willingness to grow. Adding a bit of fun with friendly competition, like leaderboards and badges, can make the process more engaging. Just as importantly, by offering a helping hand through dedicated support channels and listening to feedback, we ensure that everyone feels supported and valued throughout the transition, making the journey a truly collaborative effort.

Understand where the resistance comes from. Analyse the root cause and get a proper communication on the "what's in it for them". Be ready to have a change agent with you to implement, train, communicate, gather the pulse of the business unit. Assess how this goes. Repeat. (And yes, support/sponsorship from Top management does help. Make it their topic through adding it on their monthly meeting)

Generalmente una nueva protocolo/politica de gobierno de datos tiene que ver con un problema o incidente recurrente dentro de la organización: puedes indicarles como este incidente; presente o futuro; puede afectarlos en sus actividades basado en los principios operativos y organizacionales.

Establish a champion program with clear goals and policies. Define office hours to come up with thoughts and feedback to keep updating rules and show that this is a continuous journey.
