The human and social side of technology adoption
Make change move through your organisation — not stall inside it.
ShazInnovation diagnoses the trust, influence, communication and behavioural dynamics that determine whether technology, innovation and organisational change are actually adopted.
Go beyond the organisation chart. No guesswork. No more wondering why your initiatives stall.

Past clients
Three ways change gets stuck
One diagnostic underneath all of them.
“Employees aren’t adopting the new system.”
Technology & Change Adoption →“Good ideas disappear between approval and delivery.”
Innovation Execution →“The same message lands differently across teams.”
Communication & Stakeholder Alignment →Every solution starts with the same diagnostic — mapping the real trust, influence and communication networks your plans actually run through. See the Organisational Network Diagnostic →
Our approach
We start with your people, not your organisational chart.
Your formal structure shows reporting lines. It doesn’t show who people actually trust, who influences decisions, or how information really flows. We map the networks that do.
- Trust networkswho people actually rely on
- Influence networkswho actually drives decisions
- Communication flowhow information spreads and where it stalls

Is this you?
We work best with organisations who already know something isn’t working.
Your change initiatives keep stalling
Plans, champions and leadership buy-in are already in place. Adoption is still slow — the problem is the network your plan is running through.
Technology & Change Adoption →Innovation isn’t moving across teams
Ideas are generated, approved, then quietly die between teams. The connectors who could carry them forward are invisible without network data.
Innovation Execution →Communication keeps breaking down
Messages get distorted or lost between levels. The issue is architectural — and it shows up clearly in a communication network map.
Communication & Stakeholder Alignment →How it works

Evidence
Real engagements, anonymised.
Logos show who we have worked with. These show what the work found.
Named individuals. Scored relationships. Here’s how we protect people, not just the diagnosis.
Mapping trust and influence means handling real information about real people. How participation is agreed, who can see individual data, and how findings can and cannot be used are settled before any diagnostic begins.
