Each of the points we discussed earlier hits on this position, but the premise is simple; the more we know, the more empowered we feel. After all, knowledge is power, right? Therefore, look for more ways to empower your end users with knowledge. This may manifest itself as a demo or training for the software, the website idea we discussed already, or through internal user group meetings. Regardless of which mechanism you choose, the more your end users are informed, the more likely they are to conform to the new standard you have put in place.
