About the show

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. Host Donna P. Mitchell, The Transformation Authority™ and author of Pivoting to Technology Adoption: Mind the Gap, brings 49 years across five regulated industries (telecommunications, aviation, airline management, healthcare, and emerging technologies) to every conversation. From hospital systems to enterprise and mission-driven organizations, she has enabled more than 150,000 professionals through four major types of transformation, and she knows exactly where adoption breaks down. Each episode features the executives, clinical leaders, and strategists who have faced the gap firsthand, and the decisions that determine whether technology delivers or derails: clinician and workforce adoption, healthcare technology, and enterprise change. Forbes Business Council member. Senior Executive Healthcare Think Tank member. Five industries. One question: will your people adopt what your technology promises?
