They tend to be older (have to learn these tools as opposed to having grown up with them), have longer tenure (are more set in their ways and resistant to change), and are motivated by different things (innovation is rarely on their performance assessments).

They issued memos to their users telling them that this collaborative tool that they’ve all been clamoring for is now available. What collaborative tools, if any, do they already use?
