Change Management for Humans
summary
Argues that changes fail unless they follow the CAR steps: Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, Reinforcement. Describes doing stakeholder interviews, live hands-on labs and recorded walkthroughs, pairing with Docs and a “therapy kitten” troubleshooting page to reduce impostor syndrome. Gives concrete builds: a Facebook‑Wikipedia style customer wiki that collapses because overlooked stakeholders, and an HR tool that mostly succeeds except for a flaky manager‑approval flow. Says metrics and onboarding keep adoption alive.
