Clinical trials don’t derail because of technology alone—they fall short when people aren’t equipped with the tools needed to meet real-world demands

In this episode, Melody Keel sits down with Jason Spivey, Founder of Unifora and clinical tech strategist, to unpack how even the best technology can cause clinical operations to break down without the right leadership, workflows, and cross-functional alignment.

What you’ll learn:

• Why trial delays often trace back to unclear roles—not missing features
• How to spot the early warning signs of tech friction in your ops team
• A practical framework to embed enablement into every stage of study delivery
• What VPs and Directors need to know before their next platform rollout

This episode is a must-listen for clinical operations leaders who are tired of firefighting and ready to align their teams for faster, cleaner execution—with or without a tech upgrade.
