The objective of this thesis is to investigate what are the main obstacles in introducing a new software tool to an organisation and how to overcome those obstacles. If there are any definite set practices that could be used by leaders and managers, to minimise the resistance towards the change and the effects of such practices– both upon employees and the businesses or organisations. In addition,the research study aims to validate pre-existing literature and relevance of certain traits and submit its own findings through primary data collected.
This thesis approaches the problem from change management point of view. The proposal for guideline is built based on best practices found in change management literature. The status of the current practices is analysed by using qualitative methods. Then again the qualitative method is applied to gather opinions on the subject matter. The findings were reflected against the best practices. The new guideline is developed and reviewed and tested.
The outcome of this thesis is the guideline for introducing a new software tool to a team. The proposed guideline provides a comprehensive list of task which needs to be done in during roll-out phase. The successful test run of the proposed guideline provides a confidence in its steadfastness.
