Technology That Gets Used
Organizations invest heavily in new systems and platforms, yet adoption consistently falls short of expectations. The gap between go-live and genuine organizational change is a people problem — not a technology problem. Resistance, unclear communication, inadequate training, and misaligned stakeholder expectations are the root causes of most failed digital transformations. Salkreation addresses these factors directly, treating change management as a structured discipline rather than a communications afterthought.
We apply proven frameworks to every engagement. The Prosci ADKAR model — Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement — provides a structured way to assess and address adoption at the individual level, ensuring that each stakeholder group understands not just how to use a new system, but why the change matters to them specifically. For large-scale organizational transformation, we apply Kotter's 8-Step model to build urgency, form effective guiding coalitions, and embed changes in organizational culture before the engagement concludes.
Our consultants bring direct experience with enterprise-scale technology migrations at organizations including TD Bank, RBC, BMO, Rogers, and Ontario Lottery & Gaming. This means we understand the political and operational realities of large organizations — competing priorities, entrenched processes, siloed teams, and executive sponsors who need ROI narratives, not just project status updates. We navigate these dynamics as practitioners, not observers.
Change management at Salkreation is also uniquely informed by our technical capabilities. Because we build the software our clients adopt, we can advise on system design decisions that reduce the change burden on end users — simpler workflows, better defaults, and interfaces designed for the actual skill level of the user population. When we're not the implementation partner, we provide independent change advisory services to complement any technology project.
