Simply not true, if this was the case, then change management wouldn't be a thing.
While I agree that people are resistant to change, all the studies ive seen show negative or minimal benefit.
So either people are being poorly trained by the change management or the product is poor and doesn't love up to its marketing.
Yes this happens a lot, and IT-habits are notoriously difficult to change in a work-setting.
Exactly!
If you force someone to use a given solution, they're going to push back until they see value. And people aren't going to put in the effort to learn something they have initial misgivings about.
LLMs can be useful tools, or they can be a terrible waste of time. It all comes down to what tasks you use it for and how motivated you are to get it to work. I use it occasionally (maybe 2-3x/week), and I find it saves me time when I do. I don't use it for tasks I know it'll be poor at, because that's a waste of time.
What do you think Change Management is?
