Keynote - Rapid 2008

1. The document discusses resistance to adopting new technologies like 3D scanning and discusses overcoming barriers to change. 2. It notes that change is inherent but that concern and fear of new opportunities are natural, and the greatest barrier is often resistance to change from within ourselves, our peers, and management. 3. The document advocates starting with realistic small attempts to learn new technologies, avoiding mission critical uses at first, and persevering through limits and setbacks to gain experience over time.
