Enable Lasting and Successful Change

In today’s technology-driven world, digital transformation remains a top priority for many companies. In fact, many are now calling it “AI Transformation.” But it can be risky to make a major capital investment in technology — or any investment involving major change within your business — without knowing what the return will bring.

We know that digital change — without user acceptance — is not going to provide the ROI success you’re looking for. The reason? Change impacts people and how they do their job. Projects can suffer from slow adoption and low utilization due to ineffective sponsorship, poor communication, and the inherent resistance to change.

To better define and manage expectations, it takes a strong level of commitment and collaboration coupled with organizational readiness, training, and change management strategies. When this effort is applied, implementations are six times more likely to meet or exceed business objectives.

Approximately 75% of all system implementation projects fail because of end user adoption problems.
