People-centred vs. Technology-Driven Change
In today's fast-paced world, technology is driving business change. For the people who are impacted by the latest 'new' system', it's an uphill climb. Many projects fail to go beyond strategy and planning meetings and achieve their desired outcomes, because they don't have the engagement, buy-in and ownership from their stakeholders.
