Pivoting to Technology Adoption

70% of technology transformations fail. Not because of the technology — because organizations never close the adoption gap.

Host Donna P. Mitchell, The Transformation Authority™ and author of Pivoting to Technology Adoption: Mind the Gap, brings 48 years of Fortune 500 experience across telecommunications, aviation, airline, healthcare, and Web3/AI to every conversation. She's enabled 150,000+ professionals through four major transformation types — and she knows exactly where adoption breaks down.

Each episode features executives, strategists, and innovators who've faced the gap firsthand. AI governance, workforce enablement, healthcare technology, enterprise transformation — the leadership decisions that determine whether your investment delivers or derails.

Forbes Business Council. C-Suite Network Contributor. Five industries. One question: Will your people adopt what your technology promises?
