Title: Getting Your People Excited About Change! Using Technology to Get Everyone on the Same Page

Description:

Digital technology is often considered as being useful primarily for management’s purposes or for accounting and administrative purposes. The information digitally collected, although more empirical and perhaps more easily attained, is often used for looking backwards. It’s a measurement of past activity; a trailing KPI that does little to change the current state.

In this Tech Talk, we will share ideas and best practices of how technology can get all your people more engaged and more involved day in and day out; the power of intrinsic motivation and how to make KPIs that change behaviour; how “truth” and “one source of truth” regarding performance and productivity is empowering; how and why making it “their system” is far better than making it “your system”.
