Pivoting to Technology Adoption

70% of technology transformations fail. Not because of the technology, but because organizations never close the adoption gap. The system goes live. The people never fully adopt it. The investment stalls.

If your clinicians won't use the new EHR, your teams are working around the new platform, or your rollout is technically "done" but nobody's actually using it, this show is for you.

The Dashboard Trap: When Technology Doesn’t Change the Business

Most technology investments don’t fail because the technology is broken. They fail because leaders measure activity instead of outcomes — logins, usage, dashboards full of green — while the business itself never changes.

It was never the technology. In this solo author read, host Donna P. Mitchell reads Chapter 1 of her book Pivoting to Technology Adoption: Mind the Gap — the case for why 70% of technology transformations fail, and what the 30% do differently. Deployment is an event.
