How To Introduce Change to Your Team?
New tools, mindset, and culture: You could be the change agent to bring all of them to your company
Being the change agent in your team could be scary at first. Yet once you witness the impact you brought to the team, it becomes an obsession — you will keep exploring new topics for the team to learn.
I always remember working on back-end systems as a business analyst in my early days. Every day, I stared at the black-and-white screen, reading and composing documents that I didn’t understand. I was so ready to leave my job at that time. Until one day, my boss came over and asked, “Do you want to lead the agile enablement for our account?”. I said “yes” to the challenge, even though I did not know much about it — I would do anything to run away from the repetitive work. And ever since that, my career focus has changed entirely.
Enabling an Agile mindset in our team across Hong Kong and Shenzhen was the first time I worked as a change agent and promoted a new way of working. Thanks to the internet and the resource from global thought leadership, I learned about Agile and Scrum, hence further helping my fellows to adapt it. I soon became a Scrum Master to run a prototype project with the innovation team. And the more I advocated, the more excited I got.
