In this episode, we dive deep into the dynamics of organizational change and the critical role of leadership in implementing technology. We use the example of Fitbit to illustrate how simply introducing a tool isn't enough; it's about modifying information distribution, minimal training, and enabling group formations that drive self-motivation and peer recognition. We discuss the importance of altering supporting activities and environments to ensure meaningful and sustainable change, emphasizing the difference between achieving an outcome and fostering long-term adaptive behaviors in a changing world.
