Description
Welcome to the Human Factor Podcast, where host Kevin Novak, CEO of 2040 Digital and Author of The Truth About Transformation, explores the psychological forces that determine transformation success or failure.
Each week, we dive deep into the human side of organizational change with leaders of organizations, transformation experts, and the researchers who understand that technology alone never drives lasting change.
This isn’t another business podcast about the latest technology trends. This is about understanding the human factor and why smart people resist change.
