The SmartSigma AI Difference...
Healthcare organizations don't need more AI vendors. They need strategic partners who understand healthcare first, technology second—and who can guide both the technical implementation AND the organizational transformation required for success. Our approach brings transformation expertise not just technology expertise.
Change Capacity & Culture . AI adoption fails because of organizational barriers, not just technical limitations. A key challenge is helping people change how they work. Our approach addresses this reality head-on. Every engagement includes comprehensive change management strategy, stakeholder engagement planning, and resistance mitigation—from day one, not as an afterthought.
Academic Rigor + Business Execution. Our team bridges academic research and operational execution— publishing in leading journals while implementing transformation strategies in real healthcare organizations. Clients receive evidence-based recommendations backed by published research, industry data, and validated implementation frameworks.
Design for Sustainability.This work is grounded in proven methodologies like Prosci change management and Six Sigma process improvement, adapted through decades leading complex healthcare transformations. The result: AI strategies designed for sustainable adoption, not just successful pilots.
