Highlights:

• COVID-19 has forced organisations into rapid ‘big bang’ adoption of ‘tech-driven’ practices under severe time pressure.

• More reflection and considered approaches are needed for long-term sustained use of practices.

• This paper introduces a selection of concepts from normalisation process theory.

• This paper critiques current approaches and develop a set of recommendations for research and practice.
