ABOUT MARY ANN SAMEDI
Most tech rollouts don\'t fail because of poor systems. They fail because many leaders avoid the tough conversations that drive adoption and treat change as an event instead of a managed process.That\'s where I come in.I\'m a Prosci Certified Change Management Practitioner and Leadership Coach who helps enterprise and mid-market companies achieve 80–95% platform adoption by equipping leaders for the conversations they avoid and embedding the change management and learning best practices that make adoption stick.User resistance doesn\'t start at go-live. It starts long before and if it\'s not addressed early, it burns millions in rework. I step in before that happens or when it stalls.PROBLEMS I SOLVEWhether it\'s a new platform at a Fortune 500 or a CRM rollout at a Series B/C firm, I help organizations plan for change, recover stalled initiatives, and drive measurable behavior change:→ Recover failing rollouts and prevent costly rework→ Turn stalled digital transformation into high-adoption execution→ Reduce platform failure risk by coaching stakeholders before resistance takes rootRESULTS→ 80–95% adoption vs. industry averages of 40–50%→ 30% faster leadership readiness for newly promoted managers→ Millions retained through reduced resistance and reworkHOW I WORKI bring a full-spectrum approach that combines three disciplines most consultants treat separately:Change Management — Prosci methodology, stakeholder mapping, resistance management, adoption metrics, and communication planningLearning & Development — Instructional design, training strategy, and performance support that equips people not just informs themLeadership Coaching — Accountability coaching and conversation frameworks that build the courage leaders need to drive change from the frontBecause no platform rollout succeeds without the right process, the right learning, and the right leadership behind it.CREDENTIALSProsci Certified | DDI Certified | Korn Ferry 360 | DISC | Langevin ADDIE Certified | Project Management | LMS Administration (SuccessFactors, SABA, Cornerstone)| Articulate Storyline | eLearning & L & DSet to Lead Podcast Host & Author of Power Over Emotions and When Family HurtsReady to implement platform rollouts with equipped leaders?
