Question: Given our building manager’s reluctance to adopt technology, how can we introduce new technology to our building?
I’m enthusiastic about the potential of technology to enhance our strata operations and expedite response times. However, our building manager’s reluctance to adopt technology is a major hurdle.
While I greatly appreciate their invaluable expertise in building maintenance and operations, their technological limitations pose a challenge.
How can we effectively introduce technology in a way that leverages their skills and minimises disruptions to their workflow?
Answer: By addressing their biggest pain points first, you can maximise the benefits for both of you.
If you’re keen to continue working with your building manager, consider introducing them to your software choice. Show them how they can streamline their work, reduce paperwork, and become more efficient by learning to use this tool. Offer them support, training, and guidance to help them get started. Begin with a small step, such as using the software to report issues or create online to-do lists. By addressing their biggest pain points first, you can maximise the benefits for both of you.
