Digital transformation in laboratories is no small feat, and can sometimes mean overhauling systems and processes that may have been in place for many years. Unsurprisingly, resistance to change is something that many laboratory leaders will encounter at some point in their digitization journey.

In this interview, Peggy Weber from Sarepta Therapeutics and Scott Lunk from Bayer Crop Science discuss strategies to help employees and stakeholders get engaged and excited about new technology. Key points covered in the interview include:

• Why approaching resistance to change from a place of patience and curiosity can be the best approach
• Why effective collaboration between different functions from the outset of a transformation project will lead to a smoother implementation
• Why nominating a dedicated “Change Champion” can be an effective way of gathering feedback during transformation projects
