EXPOB205: Beyond the Silos: Unifying OCM, Training, and Digital Adoption

November 5, 2026 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm

For years, organizations have treated Organizational Change Management (OCM) and Learning & Development (L&D) as distinct, often siloed workstreams. The result? A disjointed employee experience where workers understand the why behind a transformation but lack the in-the-moment support to execute the how.

In this 30-minute session, we will explore Information Services Group’s (ISG) strategic evolution from delivering separate OCM and training initiatives to pioneering a unified Enterprise Adoption model. We will unpack the catalyst for this shift: the realization that traditional training methods alone are no longer sufficient to drive sustainable behavioral change in today’s complex software ecosystems.

We will dive into how integrating Digital Adoption Platforms (DAP) into the traditional L&D and change management lifecycle bridges the critical gap between formal learning and real-time application. By embedding support directly into the flow of work, organizations can accelerate proficiency, reduce support tickets, and drive measurable ROI on their technology investments.

Attendees will get an inside look at current market dynamics, including the increasing convergence of business process transformation and employee enablement. We will share what ISG is seeing on the ground—from change fatigue to the rising demand for continuous learning—and outline where our practice is heading as AI reshapes the future of work.

Finally, we will discuss the complexities of architecting this unified approach. Transitioning to a comprehensive digital adoption strategy requires more than just purchasing new software; it demands a fundamental redesign of how an organization manages change, curates content, and measures success. We will explore the common pitfalls organizations face when attempting this integration internally and highlight why navigating this paradigm shift requires a seasoned strategic partner to architect the roadmap, align stakeholders, and ensure long-term sustainability.

During this session, you will learn:

  • The Blueprint for Unification: Discover practical strategies for breaking down the historical barriers between OCM, L&D, and IT teams to create a singular, cohesive employee adoption experience.
  • Leveraging Digital Adoption for ROI: Understand how to pivot from traditional, event-based training to continuous, in-app support using Digital Adoption Platforms (DAP), enabling employees to learn in the flow of work while maximizing software utilization.
  • Market Trends & Future Readiness: Gain insight into the current market landscape, including the impact of AI and process mining on organizational design, and learn how to future-proof your enablement strategies against continuous technological disruption.
  • The Strategic Partner Advantage: Identify the hidden complexities and resource drains of building a unified adoption practice from scratch, and learn how leveraging an experienced transformation partner can mitigate risk, accelerate deployment, and drive sustainable enterprise agility.
