Norman's success as a change agent will depend largely on his ability to execute the requisite culture change at Asda. He made an excellent choice when he recruited Allen Leighton as VP of Marketing, who appears to be the sort of individual that associates will look to for confirmation that they are moving in the right direction. Norman's credibility will rest in the financial success of the company that is a result of the cost-cutting and structural changes he implemented early, and the backdrop of the softer attributes of the renewal effort. The shifts that are necessary for robust culture change include coordination of the change efforts in each of the stores, taking down the communication and functional silos, and establishing a rigorous training and development plan for internal managers. Some of this effort will be directed toward back-filling where spots of resistance to change have sprung up and where associates identify areas with which they would like more involvement—this is the work of the mutual engagement of the core, and it will not be unfamiliar to a former McKinsey & Company consultant.

Despite published guidelines by the National Association of Social Workers, as well as requirements by federal and state governments regarding the implementation of technology into the field, the social work profession has been, in many ways, adverse to the change. Although the complete gamut of social work specialties are adapting to the use of technology, those working in Child Protection Services (CPS) are under specific pressures to acclimate (Glicken, 2007). Studies show there are numerous advantages and disadvantages to using technology in social work. Specifically it helps to provide for greater access to services for clients (Camilleri & Humphries, 2002) and assists in promoting accountability, consistency, transparency (Burton & van den Broek, 2009). Other issues are inequalities in access to resources and threats to confidentiality and depersonalization (Oliver-Parker and Demiris, 2006). Additional studies point out differences in levels of anxiety and confidence related to age, prior technology use, length of time in using specific technology and training
