A Salesforce change is only successful once the people it affects are actually using it.
This session is designed to give admins and stakeholders a practical command of change management inside their Specright environment — from understanding why most change initiatives stall to carrying a single change from first request through to a trained, confident user.
We’ll focus on real practices you can apply immediately. By the end of the session, you’ll know the five stages every change moves through, how to classify the change in front of you, how to scope and sequence work so one change doesn’t block another, how testing protects your live data, and what has to happen after go-live for a change to stick.
What You’ll Learn:
Why change management exists: only 34% of organizational changes are a clear success and just 12% of transformation initiatives hit their targets — and why that’s a people problem, not a software one
The five stages every change moves through — preparation, planning, implementation, immersion, and analysis — and what gets decided at each stage
The three types of change management: individual, organizational, and enterprise
The four types of change and how naming the type tells you who to involve and how much runway you need
How to write change goals as SMART goals, and what belongs on a change request list so it doesn’t stall in delivery
How to sequence work by dependency
The four kinds of QA testing
What has to happen after go-live; plus six habits to build into every change from day one
Bringing together leaders in industry and technology to drive innovation.
