CWM Summit Day Two - October 15, 2026

4:15 PM Closing Keynote: The Human Side of Connected Worker Transformation

Many connected worker programs stall not because the technology is weak, but because people never fully connect to the change. Systems get installed, data becomes available, yet behaviors remain the same. Barrett Hopper explores why digital transformation succeeds only when workers believe in the change, see its relevance and experience real value in their daily work. Through practical examples and proven frameworks, he shows how to turn resistance into ownership by building connection, aligning expectations and activating leaders to drive sustainable adoption.

• Start with the real problem you are solving
• Recognize that implementation is not transformation
• Understand resistance as a signal, not a barrier
• Create connection through real experiences, not messaging
• Drive measurable impact through ownership
