– Engage stakeholders at every level to foster buy-in and collaboration.
Create a sense of urgency around the transformation process to accelerate action and avoid complacency.

– A crucial point raised was the role of middle management as the drivers of change, helping to bridge the gap between leadership and frontline employees.

– The panel also underscored the importance of continuous communication and the use of adoption schemes to keep teams informed, motivated, and aligned.

– To manage the change process effectively, technological tools like project management systems, data analytics, and dashboards were recommended. These tools help track progress and offer insights into the adoption and effectiveness of new technologies.

Finally, the panel emphasised the role of HR as key players in facilitating transformation. HR departments should act as catalysts, ensuring that employees are engaged, supported, and feel secure as they navigate changes in their work environment.
