Question

You are a business manager responsible for the successful implementation of a new
information system. What problems would you anticipate from staff when the new system
is introduced? What measures could you take to minimise these?

Answer 1

Problems anticipated from staff in introducing implementation of new information systems are the adequacy of their training and understanding of delivering the final outcomes of the new information systems. The staff may lack of understanding of their role in the implementation of new information systems and its goals for business. It is important to address the security and safety challenges in the data information systems implementation and accessibility by different staff members.

Measures to tackle the challenges faced by staff include defining proper guidelines and procedures for implementation. The goals of the process and new information systems need to be clear with clarity of roles for staff. Availability of self help and experts to resolve problems in use and implementation of information systems is important. Necessary measures for security and safety in introducing information systems to secure the data and information is important when transitioning to new information systems.
