According to research firm IDC, enterprise technology investments in Latin America grew by 12.6% in 2023 and are projected to expand by 15.5% in 2026. However, these technological investments only yield ROI if fully adopted across every level of the organization. To address this challenge, Baufest launched a dedicated service where specialized experts—known as "Digital Change Makers"—partner directly with employees to discover and execute tailored solutions that drive agile, sustainable, and effective technology adoption.
"Digital Change Makers are change management specialists. This role establishes dedicated accountability for ensuring that—regardless of what is being developed, migrated, or deployed—new technologies are adopted by impacted users with minimal stress, low friction, and maximum speed," explains Sebastián Correa, Agile Coach at Baufest.
Correa highlights a core distinction between traditional Change Management and this modernized model:
"Fundamentally, we build on proven change management foundations, but we bring a specialized execution framework. We leverage Baufest’s deep expertise in software engineering, digital innovation, platform migrations, and complex IT implementations—all backed by our track record in enterprise digital transformation."
While technology initiatives typically involve rigorous planning and capital expenditure, the absence of a structured change adoption strategy, ineffective communication, and late stakeholder engagement often prevent users from recognizing solution value. This breakdown frequently causes even the most innovative, well-intentioned implementations to fail.
To mitigate these risks, Baufest’s Digital Change Adoption framework discovers and deploys tailored change strategies built on four core pillars:
- Current-state maturity diagnostic: Assessing organizational readiness and cultural friction points.
- Executive sponsor coaching & mentoring: Aligning leadership to drive top-down enablement.
- Early stakeholder engagement: Involving end users early in the solution lifecycle.
- Transparent & continuous communication: Broadcasting progress across project milestones.
"The ultimate goal is driving a cultural shift across organizational units so that every team member feels confident navigating change," notes Correa.
Early phases of these implementations prioritize quick wins—initial execution milestones embedded within Baufest's flexible, iterative change roadmap.
"Quick wins represent fast, low-friction adjustments that deliver immediate short-term value. Examples include clearly articulating the core purpose behind an upcoming system shift or defining standardized terminology for previously unmapped processes," adds the Agile Coach.
Ultimately, this framework drives deep, lasting organizational change—replacing legacy habits while ensuring that digital transformation initiatives achieve their primary business objectives.
