This means training that is focused on increasing the knowledge economy of the transforming firm rather than in simply standardizing processes. According to the text by Chapman (2009), this may even call for a change in the linguistic approach to this process. Chapman advises that "training implies putting skills into people, when actually we should be developing people from the inside out, beyond skills, ie., facilitating learning.

As the text by Waddell et al. (2011) indicates, "in all probability managers have their own intuitive approaches to bringing about change -- the change models they carry inside their heads. A personal theory of change would therefore include any assumptions, biases and paradigms that influence their beliefs about what should change and how change should occur. However, in order to successfully implement change, managers should at least be cognisant of various perspectives on change and the thinking that underpins them." (Wadell et al., p. 3)

Conclusion:

The recommendation here above is a pertinent closing point and demonstrates that at the root of all ambiguities is a failure to understand and manage the needs of personnel during the transformation process. Ultimately, because employees at the most basic levels of a company will likely experience the implications of change most directly, their contentment and clarity will play a determinant role in the success for failure of a change process.
