LUNCH & LEARN: Implementing a New System Without Losing Your Team

IMPLEMENTING A NEW SYSTEM OR TOOL WITHOUT LOSING YOUR TEAM

Managing the People Side of New Systems and Tools

November 11, 2026 | 12:00–1:30 p.m. (CT)

Zoom | Free to attend

New internal systems and tools often promise efficiency, but they can also introduce frustration, resistance, and fatigue. This Lunch & Learn focuses on the people side of implementation, helping leaders navigate change in ways that build trust and engagement rather than erode them.

We’ll explore why system changes often fail and what leaders can do differently before, during, and after rollout to support smoother transitions.

What to Expect:

• Key reasons system rollouts go sideways—and how to avoid them

• Strategies for assessing team readiness and setting realistic expectations

• Guidance on stakeholder engagement, clear communication, and pacing

• Best practices for supporting long-term adoption and trust-building

This session is especially designed for COOs, program directors, and managers preparing to roll out tools like CRMs, program management software, or internal platforms.

This event will be held virtually on Zoom. Bring your lunch, your questions, and one upcoming (or past!) system change you’d like to unpack.
