She shows how organizations can gain user acceptance of new technologies by including users in the technology design process, providing training to give employees the skills they need to work with new technologies, and designing new technologies with employees in mind.
Kate's current projects examine the collaborative implementation of machine learning-based tools for clinical decision support in healthcare organizations and the implementation of online training for frontline healthcare workers.
She has authored dozens of articles that have appeared in top journals across the fields of management, organization studies, healthcare, sociology, work and employment, and information systems research. Her research has won awards from the Academy of Management, the American Sociological Association, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences, and the National Science Foundation.
Over the past decade, Kate has partnered with for-profit and not-for-profit organizations to help improve collaboration among diverse experts, use technologies to improve internal knowledge sharing, and manage the human aspects of new technology implementation in order to thrive in fast-paced and uncertain contexts.
Before coming to MIT Sloan, Kate worked as a management consultant for Bain & Company and for Health Advances. She received her PhD in organization studies from MIT, her MBA from Harvard University, and her BA from Dartmouth College in biology and psychology.
