Stop Saying “We’ve Always Done It This Way” — Make Service Desk Change Stick

15/09/25 By aisling

In IT support, the biggest barrier to progress isn’t budget or tools — it’s mindset. Every service desk leader has heard it: “We’ve always done it this way.” Outdated workflows, clunky systems, and resistance to change slow teams, frustrate users, and burn out staff.

Modernising your service desk doesn’t have to be hard. Read the HOTH (House on the Hill) blog to learn why mindset matters — and how to shift your team from resistance to readiness.

Why This Matters

Engage stakeholders early and create ownership

Communicate the “why”, not just the “what”

Provide ongoing training and feedback loops

Celebrate small wins to maintain momentum and morale

When your team sees value and feels supported, change becomes easier and faster to adopt.
