Description

Thinking about bringing new technology into your construction business, but worried your team won’t go for it? You’re not alone. In this episode, Chris G sits down with change expert Cesar Viana Teague to talk about how to actually get your people on board—without the confusion, resistance, or wasted money. Cesar shares his simple APE model (Analyze, Plan, Execute) and explains why timing, trust, and listening to your team are the keys to success. He also shares real stories of what worked, what didn’t, and how to avoid costly mistakes. If you’re a contractor or construction business owner thinking about change, this one’s for you. Cesar Vianna Teague is a change management and enablement consultant and founder of Next Level Consulting, operating under the Change Is Good brand at changeisgood.io. He partners with CEOs, technology leaders and subject matter experts across the US and Europe to turn complex digital initiatives into structured, human centred change programs. Drawing on his A.P.E.E.E. model, he focuses on tech change readiness, stakeholder co design, communication strategy and authentic leadership so teams can adopt AI, ERP and CRM systems with less resistance and more real results.
