Also owners/ freelancers will generally spend more time doing so that an employee. Also I would suggest that in a large implementation it is risky to leave it to the intuitive nature of the app, rather reinforce it in the training. I am a big fan of appropriate training, not one size fits all. A good change manager should take learning styles and culture into account.

Thanks for the comment.

I’ve got a “but”, though … hasn’t Google and iPods shown us that truly intuitive software/gadgets are possible. I didn’t get trained to use my Mac, I just started playing around.

Now that might be just me, and I’m not sure whether such an approach would work on a large scale. But the principle is that we learn when we want to lean, when we know what problem we’re trying to solve, rather than following a prescribed learning path.
