Adapt to Adopt: A Human Approach to Software Implementation

By: Anna Hunter, Ed.D

Technology alone is not going to solve your problems. Organizations commit endless time and money toward implementing new software, hoping each new solution will be the ticket to success. Yet a common pitfall is underestimating the importance of the people throughout and beyond the software implementation process. Adapt to Adopt offers an in depth guide for garnering buy-in from the true drivers of success… the people who will use and maintain the software.

Author Dr. Anna Hunter, an expert in change management and software implementation, draws on counseling and transition theories to walk leaders through strategies that encourage employee acceptance of new technology. By incorporating the human-first approach to software implementation, organization leaders will create a transition plan that aligns people and goals by keeping change management at the core of successful adoption. Learn how to apply proven principles to foster software adoption, overcome resistance, and cultivate a change resilient team that truly becomes the muscle behind the machine.

Adapt to Adopt is designed as a hands-on experience which walks you through several exercises for navigating the software implementation process. To benefit the most from the material, download a free printable workbook from the author's website: www.anna-hunter.com/book.
