THE TECHNOLOGY IS THE EASY PART
What Leaders Need to Get Right When Technology Changes the Work

Program Description

Your organization bought the technology. You implemented it. You trained people on it. So why isn’t anything different?

New technology doesn’t change an organization simply because it can do something new. People have to understand why it matters. They have to trust it enough to use it. Workflows and expectations may need to change. Someone has to own what happens after implementation. And eventually, leaders need to know whether the investment is actually creating value.

In this practical, interactive session, Stein Sperling CEO Tara Mobley will explore the often-overlooked leadership side of technology-driven change. Using a simple framework built around Clarity, Confidence, Capability, Change and Contribution, Tara will help leaders identify where technology initiatives get stuck—and what they can do about it. This isn’t a technology training session. It’s a conversation about what happens after you buy the technology and the leadership required to turn new capabilities into meaningful organizational change.

Attendees will leave with a practical framework they can apply to a current or future technology initiative, along with questions to help determine what their organization needs to do next.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Diagnose where a technology initiative is getting stuck by examining clarity, confidence, capability, change and contribution.

• Recognize the difference between implementing technology and changing how work actually gets done, including the role of leadership, workflows, expectations and accountability.

• Identify the next leadership action needed to move a current or future technology investment from implementation toward meaningful organizational value.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Business owners, executives, managers and other leaders responsible for technology decisions, organizational change, operations, people or strategy. No technical background is required.
