Senior-level executives are at the core of any big departmental change. Success and failure rest on their shoulders. They need to be involved. Despite the pressure of this role, you can help them understand they don’t need to do everything.

Their job is to ensure new strategies aligned with overall business goals and changes are laid out for employees. Your job is to convince them that Field Service Management (FSM) software does align with business goals and explain how you’ll handle the transition. Take some pressure off executives by showing them you’ve done the research to get the program off the ground and you understand what it takes to succeed.
