Technology Tools: Doubts and Reflections

The earliest humans had no tools for hunting, building, or performing daily tasks. But driven by curiosity and the need to survive, they began creating tools. Over time, these tools evolved and multiplied, leading us to the modern world where tasks that once took years can now be completed in seconds.

Just as early humans once feared fire, many of us today still hesitate to trust modern technology. Although technology is all around us, it often feels invisible. Most people don’t fully understand how software or systems function, and that lack of clarity creates uncertainty. This uncertainty prevents many from trusting it completely.

This is why many organizations continue using traditional methods. Familiar systems offer a sense of control. Leaders know who does what and how. There is comfort in what is known. When faced with new technology, people often think:

• What if I lose access to the system?
• What if I can’t use my device?
• What if something fails at the wrong moment?

These questions reflect deeper doubts and fears about relying on something they do not fully control or understand.

What Is Change, and Why Do We Need It?

Organizational change is about improving performance by expanding the tools and people within a business. Imagine your business as a circle. Inside that circle, there are only two elements:

Business operations = Tools + People

Improving either of these elements increases the productivity and size of the business circle.

Yet change is rarely easy. Even when the benefits are clear, people resist replacing tools or systems that feel familiar. For example, a manufacturing company may invest in an advanced machine to increase output. But without people to sell the product, operate the machine, or maintain it, the tool alone has limited value.

This same principle applies to digital tools across all industries. The most valuable investments today are in software that enhances the abilities of the people who use it. This makes the enterprise unique because it’s making the best use of human resources.

Example: Human Resources

In traditional HR departments, there may be one HR officer for every ten employees. But with a digital HR management system (HRMS), one person can support up to one hundred employees with greater accuracy and efficiency.

These systems:

• Reduce manual work
• Improve data accuracy
• Allow employees to focus on more strategic tasks
• Help reassign roles instead of eliminating people

Digital tools do not replace human value. They expand it.

Why Enterprise Software Matters

Modern enterprise tools play a key role in transformation because they:

• Create clarity in responsibilities and workflows
• Provide real-time visibility into operations
• Enable better decisions based on accurate data
• Increase accountability across departments

With better tools, people become more empowered. This combination leads to real, measurable change.

Why Change Is a Necessity, Not a Choice

Change is not a luxury. It is a requirement for survival and growth. Businesses that refuse to evolve risk becoming irrelevant. Routines may keep things running, but they do not push an organization forward.

To grow, companies must:

• Adopt new tools
• Build new skills
• Empower new people

Stagnation leads to decline. Evolution leads to opportunity.

What About the Service Sector in Saudi Arabia and the GCC?

In many parts of the service industry, especially in Saudi Arabia and the GCC, companies still rely on paper, spreadsheets, and manual communication. This is not because the opportunities are missing. It is because there is no clear and accessible path to digital transformation.

While industries like finance, food industry, and retail have embraced modern systems, the service sector remains full of manual processes, scattered data, and inconsistent workflows.

This sector is full of potential. What it needs is the right direction.
