How Do You Sell Your Code/Architecture to Internal Dev Groups

This question is geared towards Architects, Tech Leads. DevOps Leads etc. How do you communicate new recommendations or framework changes effectively to developer groups that need to adopt it? I was having a discussion with upper management recently and I came to the realization that the group I am in, doesn't perform HumanOps very well. We don't sell our code to our customers, the development teams within our company, we want to deal with new tech, bleeding edge changes not with the nitty gritty of framework adoption. We don't just jump on bandwagons, but we do leverage technology that becomes available. We try to be within 1 stable release of current versions. The problem is not all developers are like that. A lot of times we create a mostly turn key solution to solve problems, but the developer groups are slow to adopt. We luck the sales pitch, or marketing slogan internally. How do we do that better? How do we communicate what's coming soon? How to adopt the frameworks that make their lives easier?
