The difficulty we faced in doing so is lack of motivation ( reason being the more population of GenX who are no so comfortable in using technlogy)

Months passed by we also start recruiting more millenials in the group to make our older generation comfortable with the change. This really helps us and the teams to start using the online platforms our marketing reach has increased. People are now comfortable to speak and contribute.

One who get the prize motivate others to share innovative ideas based on the industry trends .
