When leading a cross-functional project, overcoming resistance to change starts with clear communication. For example, when introducing new processes, ensure all team members understand the benefits. Show how these changes can improve efficiency, like reducing time spent on repetitive tasks. Another approach is to involve key players in the decision-making process. When people feel heard and part of the solution, they’re more likely to support the change. For instance, in a project restructuring, invite team leads to give input on how the changes might affect their departments. 🚀 #ChangeManagement

Identify the stakeholders who are supporting the change and those who are resisting it. Focus on the stakeholders who are resistant to the change, and explain the long-term benefits, highlighting what’s in it for them and their teams. Present a clear roadmap and demonstrate the ROI. Organize brainstorming sessions to raise awareness and foster understanding about the changes.

A strategy that always work is Involving Teams Early enough. I engage cross-functional team members early in the process, inviting them to share input during planning stages. This approach allows them to shape the change rather than just adapt to it, fostering a sense of ownership.
When people see their feedback incorporated, they feel valued and are more likely to support the change, reducing resistance and increasing engagement.

Overcoming resistance to change in cross-functional teams requires clear communication and empathy. During a Sales System Implementation, I applied Kotter's 8-Step Change Model to ease transitions by building a sense of urgency and creating short-term wins.
Regular workshops addressed concerns and highlighted the benefits of change, fostering a collaborative spirit. Using the ADKAR (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, Reinforcement) model also helped reinforce buy-in across departments.

Zu aller Erst muss .it den jeweiligen Führungskräften der unterschiedlichen Teams klar festgehalten werden, dass ihre Mitarbeiter für dieses wichtige Projekt ausgewählt wurden und zweitens das Commitment geholt werden, damit auch das Verständnis zur zeitlichen Flexibilität sichergestellt ist, sonst kann so ein Bereichsübergreifendes Projekt nicht funktionieren. Die Widerstände gehören in einem offenen Diskurs mit allen gemeinsam aufgearbeitet, diskutiert und am Ende muss der gemeinsame Fahrplan festgelegt werden.
