In this episode of The Adoption Curve, I sit down with Matt Gjertsen from Better Everyday Studios to discuss the challenges of software adoption and share practical frameworks for learning and development leaders.
Matt reveals that over-engineering can stall progress—”engineers love to engineer”—and explains why honing in on your core problem and setting tight deadlines is critical. We also dive into his 4-step process for first principles leadership that you can implement immediately to improve user adoption and training effectiveness.
If you’re an L&D professional, enablement leader, or operations manager looking to boost technology implementation and drive measurable ROI, this conversation provides the exact steps you need.
