Change Management and DAM: How it benefits governance and user adoption

September 16, 2:40 PM EDT

Frequently DAM systems are all about change; from small changes administrators make to help support end users, to major changes, such as a large system migration, or building a new DAM platform. 

It is important to focus on the project as an ever evolving and expanding environment. 

DAMs are not meant to stay stagnant! Part of the growth comes from adopting change management and understanding how user adoption and governance plays a significant role in the successful implementation of any change within the DAM.

Jennifer Sunday, Global Technology DAM Manager and Leader of the Global DAM Practice for Stanley Black & Decker, Tools Division will share key drivers in change management focusing on four crucial elements:

  • What is change management, and why is it important?
  • What are the key things to think about?
  • What are the benefits?
  • How to involve/engage users?

In this session, Jennifer will highlight best practice in engaging users for change, adopting the principles of:

  • Tell them ahead of time
  • Communicate effectively so there are no surprises
  • How to make and implement change
  • Evaluating change at multiple places in the journey
  • How to make improvements and enhancements

How can we leverage the growth of the DAM, using change management to benefit governance practices and user adoption to get ‘THE BIG WIN’

Before attending a HS DAM event, I never knew the true impact or importance of DAM. For the first time it felt like I wasn't alone, but part of something so much greater. I left inspired and motivated to take what I had learned and apply it our DAM system. I look forward to the event every year!

The Henry Stewart DAM NY conference did not disappoint. The breadth of topics and experiences covered were amazing.  I could have used three of me to cover all the sessions I was interested in attending!
