Gets people to actually use what was delivered — stakeholder analysis, communication, training, resistance, and measuring adoption. Use this to plan a rollout, recover an implementation nobody is using, handle resistance to a change, sequence communications, or work out why a technically successful project changed nothing.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Change and adoption The characteristic expensive failure is a system delivered on time, on budget, to specification, and not used. The project succeeded and the investment did not. ## Map who is affected and what it costs them Stakeholder analysis usually stops at influence and interest. The operative question is what each group **loses**: status, autonomy, expertise that took years to build, a workaround they were proud of, or simply a routine that worked. Resistance is almost always rational from where the person stands. Treating it as ignorance produces more communication aimed at the wrong problem, and confirms to the affected group that nobody understands their work. ## Communicate in the order people need The sequence that works is why, then what, then how, then when — and organizations reliably lead with what and when, which is the project's perspective rather than the audience's. State what is changing for **this** audience specifically. A general announcement is heard as not applying to anyone in particular. Be honest about costs. A change presented as pure benefit, where the audience can see the cost, loses …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/change-and-adoption@sha256:cdffa797ba3c262dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.e72e404, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
