The world changes fast. New technologies and ideas develop even faster. As a result, to keep up, things like phones, computers, and televisions need to be continuously updated. A business model is no different.
Our business models must be consistently evaluated and, therefore, if needed, updated and revamped to make sure we are operating at the highest level. Creating a new business model can be tough. Administering it can be even tougher.
Sigmaways CEO, Prakash Sadasivam, understands the importance of staying ahead of the curve. He believes there are several blocks that will undoubtedly pop up as you work to implement a new business model. One particular challenge is resistance to change. In a recent article on Forbes.com, Prakash said, “ Make sure to communicate clearly and consistently, engage employees and stakeholders, provide training and support, lead by example and celebrate small wins, to name a few strategies. Thus, by addressing the natural resistance to change, leaders can create a more receptive environment for new business models to evolve and increase their chances of successful design and implementation.”
According to Forbes other potential blocks important to realize are:
- Change Management
- Over-preparation
- Poor Product-Market Fit
- Resistance
- Unwillingness To Embrace New Technology
- Lack Of Education For Employees
