The Challenge of Resistance to Change
Organizations of all types often face resistance to change when it comes to implementing new technologies. This resistance may come from staff who are used to established ways of working, concerns about potential disruptions, or uncertainty about whether the new solution will deliver promised benefits. Overcoming these challenges requires a solution that builds trust and demonstrates real value while minimizing disruptions to daily operations.
