Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A pilot conversion is a strategy that implements a new system in a small part of an organization to determine if it is feasible and offers benefits, and if it does, to move on with a full implementation in the organization. In this case, Mother Goose is testing the new system in their New York location before extending it to their other locations. Therefore, it is a pilot conversion.
