barriers are determined through process mapping, each barrier can be broken
down further to determine solutions.
32. Late majority Needs the most support and will often be resistant. They make up the largest
majority of the group. They maintain a high degree of skepticism and require
a large amount of information before adopting change. They will adopt change
only in the late stages. Laggards historically will not adopt change.
