In this episode,Logan Shinholser interviews Dr. Anna Hunter, Director of Learning & Development at JobTread, to unpack how human behavior directly impacts digital adoption in construction companies. Anna explains why technology is only as effective as its implementation, how to create true team buy-in, and how contractors can avoid wasting thousands on unused tools. The conversation dives into key behavioral strategies like building software champions, structuring healthy incentives, and identifying root problems before investing in tech. With practical analogies and tactical steps, this episode bridges the gap between strategy and psychology in software rollout. Key Takeaways: Clarity Comes Before Software Before adopting software, companies need to clearly define their core operational problems. Jumping into tech without this clarity often leads to frustration and failure. The Champion Model Works Successful tech rollouts often rely on "champions" — team members who believe in the software and lead by example. Identifying the right personality types for this role (not just the loudest volunteer) is crucial. Start with the Team, Not the Tool The most effective companies get their teams involved in diagnosing problems and shaping processes before software ever enters the picture. Top-down mandates often backfire. Incentives Should Match the Culture Incentivizing new habits (like filling out daily logs) can work, but it must be tied to accountability. Small, visible rewards can spark pride and momentum, especially when tied to public progress tracking. Staged Rollout vs. All-In: Choose Wisely Rolling out software can happen gradually or all at once, but both approaches require preparation, peer support, and leadership alignment. Owner's Role: Understand and Translate Leaders don't need to be tech experts, but they do need to understand the software well enough to explain its value to their team — and to calm fears about being replaced. Memorable Quotes: “Software is only as good as how much you use it.” “Jumping into tech without clarity just means you're scaling chaos.” “You're not rushing adoption—you're building belief.” Actionable Advice: Define the Real Problems First: Use tools like whiteboards or flowcharts to uncover root causes before selecting a solution. Nominate the Right Champion: Identify someone who is both tech-comfortable and respected by the team—not just the loudest person in the room. Use Live Incentives: Create transparent incentive systems that track progress publicly and build pride over time. Start Small or Go All-In — But Plan Either Way: Whether you're doing a phased rollout or flipping the switch company-wide, preparation is key to success.
