“I have observed where there have been leaders in roles that introduce new technology but didn’t follow sound change management practices to build that adoption, to build that buy-in.” So says Amber Fencl, one or our guests on this episode of VentureSprout. She believes leaders should focus on technology adoption at the very beginning of the process and not in the middle of the production stage. This episode also brings in two other leaders who talk about how to develop technology and innovation to take health care beyond the conventional approach focused within the four walls of the hospital.
