The Digital Adoption Manager: key to the company's digital transformation
Role definition and challenges
The Digital Adoption Manager is a strategic player within modern companies. In a context where technologies are constantly evolving, he or she ensures that employees effectively adopt the new digital tools made available to them.

What role does the Digital Adoption Manager play in the company's overall change management process?
Beyond the adoption of tools, the Digital Adoption Manager is a lever for cultural transformation: he or she promotes innovation, facilitates cross-functional communication and anchors a shared vision around digital. His action goes beyond tools to include behaviors, mentalities and collaboration within teams.
How do tools like K-NOW differ from traditional training?
Traditional training is often ad hoc and disconnected from day-to-day needs. K-NOW, on the other hand, integrates directly into business applications, guiding users when they need it. This "in-app", contextual approach transforms digital adoption into a seamless, fluid process that encourages continuous skills upgrading.
What are the biggest obstacles to digital adoption in the workplace?
The biggest obstacles to digital adoption identified in companies are varied. They include fear of change and new tools, which can dampen users' motivation to commit fully. The lack of time and limited availability of employees are also major obstacles: when they are overloaded, they find it hard to integrate new uses into their daily routine. Added to this is the lack of training or practical support, which leaves users on their own when faced with the complexity of the tools, as well as a lack of communication on the real benefits of digital solutions, which limits their assimilation. To overcome these obstacles, the Digital Adoption Manager intervenes upstream and during the deployment process. He creates a climate of trust and makes learning more intuitive and accessible, in order to transform resistance into sustainable performance levers.
