Digital transformation isn’t just about the tech. It’s about people. In this second part of our conversation with quality consultant and change management expert Angela Fumpson, we move from planning to execution—what actually happens when you try to roll out meaningful change in your business.
If you’ve ever struggled to get new systems to land, or if your team seems resistant to change, this episode will speak to you. We talk about how to embed transformation into the everyday, keep the momentum going, and avoid the common pitfalls that derail even the best-planned projects.
