What does it take for construction technology to actually get used, not just implemented?
In this conversation, Nicholas Johnson sits down with Jeff Sample to explore the growing gap between the promise of construction technology and the reality of adoption in the field. While new tools are constantly entering the market, many fail to make it past rollout, leaving teams overwhelmed, undertrained and ultimately reverting back to old processes.
This discussion centers on what separates technology that sticks from technology that gets abandoned. From leadership alignment to change management and training, we unpack the real drivers behind successful adoption and why simply “buying software” rarely solves the problem it was intended to fix.
This episode highlights what’s actually working today (and what isn’t) when it comes to implementing technology across complex construction programs.
