Welcome to the Trend Detection podcast, brought to you by Senseye Predictive Maintenance – which gives you visibility and insights into all your assets, from single machines to full plants to help you reduce downtime, increase knowledge sharing and accelerate digital transformation across your organization.

In the second episode of our 4-part "The Adoption Gap" series, we sat down with Nat Ford from Siemens to unpack why change management isn't a workstream you bolt on at the end of a PdM project. It's the project itself.

His take? If you need formal "change management" by the time you go live, something has already gone wrong.

We cover:

• Why change management is often a sign the project wasn't designed properly in the first place

• The difference between managing change and designing change in from day one

• How the Hawthorne Effect applies to PdM adoption — and why paying attention to people matters more than any framework

• Why predictive maintenance changes how people decide, not just what they do
