“I think sometimes we get too fascinated with the science and technology of it, and we forget the human component. ... When I would consult clients talent management, I would always say, ‘Let’s not forget that we’re all human.’”
“If you’re only using change management to force a bunch of people to use something, I think you’re missing [the point].”
"If we spend more time listening before we buy and build a technology; and then make sure that what we design is attuned to our users, it's better."
