Navigating Organizational Buy-in
- Recognizing micro cultures in an organization.
- Finding a way to build buy-in across all levels.
MIT Lincoln Laboratory has been undergoing a digital transformation including CAD, MBD, MBE, PLM, and ERP. We have found that buy-in is critical at all levels of our organization, but each level is a micro culture requiring a different organizational change management approach. This talk will discuss our lessons learned, successes, and continuing challenges.
