A change initiative for a business organization can be starting a training program for the existing employees and the managers as the hierarchy has thought about implementing some new technologies and operational modes. The new technical implementations and the operations modes will require the organization to have employees and managers who would have enough skills and experiences with those techniques. It is because of that doubtlessly the organization has to either terminate those employees who will not be able to learn those new techniques and serving for a long time now or have to train the existing ones.
