That's more a matter of how this is handled from a
management point of view. Here at ACT, these decisions have
been made very easily, and the resulting uniformity of
style is an important contribution to our very high
productivity. People have a little trouble adjusting,
but the benefits of standardization are considerable.

Have a look at the experience Sweden had in changing to
driving on the right hand side of the road, people expected
far more accidents to occur than actually did. People are
more flexible than you imagine!
