the advanced technology in the business operations with is accomplished with the help of
change drivers. The objectives of using change driver help in focusing on the procedures to be
implemented in an organization in order to achieve the goals of the business (Thompson, 2017).

support of a large number of customers. The support can be gained through the provision of
attractive facilities as well as services to the consumers that differ from the other organization
