Pathfinders for Independent Living, Inc., a nonprofit organization, was founded after the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA.) Pathfinders provides information and assistance to elderly and disabled individuals and their caregivers on how to live as independently as possible. Its core value is to Promote Self-Reliance. The culture within Pathfinders is one of friendly support. Pathfinders’ IT leadership proposed a project to design and build a network infrastructure that would provide security for sensitive data, data storage, Internet access, email access, updated applications and hardware, and user training. Changing the environment would affect the organizational structure and culture of Pathfinders. This paper discusses the organizational changes that occurred due a change in technology.Technology TransferTechnology transfer describes activities that have the aim of establishing measurable process improvement through the adoption of new practices. Assistive technology reduces the gap experienced by disabled and elderly individuals in accomplishing daily activities. Some of these technologies are text telephones, Braille computer monitors, infrared pointing devices, artificial limbs, and assistive software. Introducing and encouraging the use of these technologies and many others to Pathfinders’ consumers, is a responsibility of the independent living specialists.The independent living specialists assist the consumers in identifying the assistive technologies needed, applying for funding to purchase the technologies, and educating the public on the various technologies available. However to provide its services to its consumers, Pathfinders had to adapt to current information technologies.A Strategy for Technology TransferRecognizing the relationship between technology transfer and process improvement is fundamental to Pathfinders’ approach to change. Technology cannot be changed without some impact on the process or personnel that use the technology, be it an increase in productivity, a reduction in cost, or a fundamental change in method. A number of key issues had to be addressed for the technology to be successfully transferred. These are divided into several categories; technology issues, process changes, and changes in culture.Technology IssuesPathfinders would join the Information Age by installing, new computers, file servers, network printers, a local area network (LAN), and Internet access. The installation process required preparing the PCs before delivering them to Pathfinders, then a visit to the office site to build the network and deploy the equipment. The PCs were standardized on Microsoft applications. Following the installation of the network, etc., training on the use of the software was provided. With the installation of the infrastructure complete, each independent living specialist and the executive director had a personal computer, email, and Internet access.Designing and building a training center provided the opportunity for anyone to come in and learn more about computers and office application software. Pathfinders provided some basic training courses. Additionally, computer books were available for use with the computers to learn how to use the programs. Access to the Internet was provided. Funding was allocated through federal funds to support the changes in technology.Process ChangesBefore the technology changes, there were only two stand-alone PCs available for use by the staff, these PCs were very old, running DOS applications. Employees were forced to share the PCs or use typewriters to complete correspondence. Data was maintained on floppy disks and hardcopy. Access to the Internet for research was accomplished by going to the local library, which consumed valuable resources of time and personnel. Deploying the new infrastructure significantly changed the way the employees worked. The changes in infrastructure gave real-time access to the Internet, consumer data, and improved data security.Changes in CulturePrior to the deployment of technology, the employees were equal in their knowledge of using the available tools at Pathfinders. With the delivery of their network, a fundamental change occurred within the employee dynamics. An atmosphere of resentment developed due to an imbalance of knowledge and workload. Some of the employees went out of their way to grasp the advancement in technology thereby, improving themselves and their work processes. They pursued the educational opportunities offered to them by Pathfinders and enhanced their knowledge of computer applications. Productivity for these individuals increased, causing an increase in satisfaction by Pathfinders’ consumers.Conversely, there was a minority of employees, who took a stance in not excepting these changes. These individuals spent much of their time complaining that they could not do the work using the tools provided, or repeatedly requested help from the employees that understood the technology. Defense mechanisms were employed to justify their reactions to the new technology. These employees viewed the technology change as a threat and wanted nothing to do with improving their computing skills or their work environment. However, as training and practice in using the improvements to the technology progressed, acceptance began to increase and resistance began to decrease. Change is difficult in all organizations but to stay in business Pathfinders was forced to change with the times.Pathfinders operations depend heavily on federal grant money. Each year Pathfinders must forecast how that money will be spent and report that the goals of the previous year have been met. The Federal reporting system began as a hardcopy report that evolved to an online reporting system. Without the changes in technology, Pathfinders would find it difficult to apply for Federal grant money or report its disbursement.ConclusionCareful consideration was employed to determine if a change in IT infrastructure was warranted within the Pathfinders organization. Potential obstacles were identified and anticipated. One of those obstacles was the affect that a change in technology would have on the organizational culture of Pathfinders verses the improvement in customer service. Pathfinders identified that resistance to change and fear played a role in the effectiveness of the change. Additionally, Pathfinders identified that as the staff moved along the learning curve, acceptance of the technology increased and fear of the technology decreased.

How many creams have you tried to turn back the effects of aging and improve the quality of your skin? Happily, we live in high-tech and bio-tech times and anti-aging products are truly effective. Therefore, it is only a matter of finding the right information.We know of the wrinkle-relaxing function of Botox, so imagine the savings when you can use a cream with the same effect and cut those expensive injections from your skin care budget! And we hear often about boosting our collagen production to give our skin that youthful appearance. Peptides and neuropeptides work on a cellular level to reinvigorate the skin. Therefore, these are good, hard-working components that will be effective and worth the money spent on them and the time spent on using them.Currently, Peter Thomas Roth’s Un-Wrinkle creams are among the better customer-rated anti-aging products on the market because they do both, that is, wrinkle-relaxing and reinvigorating the skin. Roth’s innovative wrinkle fighting products and kits include his exclusive ingredient, Un-Wrinkle, a patent-pending blend of six active wrinkle-relaxing and anti-aging peptides and neuropeptides. Peptides work on the skin on the molecular level and neuropeptides relax the muscles like Botox.In addition, numerous recent clinical studies point to active nano-sized ingredients for pro-collagen production as the prime means to effectively reverse the signs of aging. They are(1) Nanolipobelle HEQ10, which is a nano-version of Co10,
(2) Cynergy TK and
(3) Wakame Kelp.Skin and anti-aging products with these ingredients promise to change the texture of your skim at a molecular level. Only the nano-sized ingredients are capable of stimulating collagen, and only a dermatologist can treat you with these three nano products, although an oral CoQ10 with molecular immersion capabilities is available.While Roth’s products don’t include these specifically identified nano ingredients, they do have the underlying peptides and neuropeptides which work in a similar nano process of reinvigorating the skin at its molecular level. Peptides used in Roth’s skin care are ones that direct the skin cells to behave in a certain way by producing more collagen and thickening the skin.Retinol is still a very efficient, dependable and proven anti-aging, anti-wrinkle ingredient. Numerous wrinkle creams include retinol. Particularly, Neutrogena and RoC have some very successful and effective anti-aging products with retinol as the key active ingredient. Neutrogena’s Rapid Wrinkle Repair Night Moisturizer fades wrinkles with the fastest working retinol formula available and noticeable results can be seen in a mere week. Also, RoC has a line of retinol products that penetrate the skin’s surface to stimulate the skin’s natural process and reduce deep wrinkles. Women have claimed to have lost 10 years to the look of their skin after 12 weeks of their use.While effective retinol products are being enhanced, effective peptide products, like Roth’s, are moving up to the top position. Roth’s combination of peptides definitely reduce the appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles and expression lines, which show up as frown lines, crow’s feet, pout lines and laugh lines. Skin texture and tone are smoothed and refined, leaving the skin looking younger and more radiant. Customers have made these claims in their customer ratings and Roth’s clinical studies document a 72% proven reduction in wrinkle size in 28 days. Impressive!With internet research, you too can find comparative studies, real customer reviews and competitive prices for your favorite anti-aging products. Researching for my own youth serum, I’ve come across an enormous amount of bio-tech information, latest clinical studies and investigated most of the products offered by the media–magazines, television and internet. Studying the active ingredients and sharing these results with others is now a personal goal. Thus, I can confidently recommend that any of the finer retinol products, the three nano ingredients listed above (which a dermatologist can prescribe for you), or any peptide-neuropeptide anti-aging products like Roth’s will bring you into the 21st century with futuristic methods that will, ironically, turn back time!(c) 2012 Elizabeth McMillian
