User Training – How Important is it?
Introducing a new technology to your company can be challenging. There will be objections, questions, learning curves and possible resistance. Whether you are introducing it to just your team or the whole company, incorporating user training early and often can help relieve some of the pain that leaders can feel when introducing new technology.
