The Control Paradox: Why Organizations Resist the Technologies That Could Transform Them

By Dr. Kena McGary

Organizations invest billions in technology promising transformation. Most of them stall. The problem is rarely the technology.In The Control Paradox, Dr. Kena McGary draws on doctoral research and two decades of enterprise transformation leadership to reveal the hidden force behind stalled initiatives: organizations resist the very systems designed to help them when those systems require sharing control.The technologies capable of creating the most value are often the hardest to adopt - because adoption requires giving up something that feels essential: control.

Readers will learn: Why organizations resist technology - even with a clear business caseHow Control, Competitive Advantage, Identity, and Trust block adoptionWhy stalled programs are a leadership problem - not a technology oneWhat leaders do differently when they understand the Control Paradox
"The organizations that lead the next era of transformation will not be the ones with the best technology. They will be the ones willing to rethink control."Written for leaders responsible for transformation - not just implementation.
