My main interest is how technology and processes are implemented in mature businesses. I have 40 years experience in business and my observations expose many complications based on human nature in social and cultural settings. Many times the vision of leaders and their management, or better described executors, of a dream don't include the basic fact that it takes people to do the task in a plan. A project plan may include time for requirements gathering and training but both are engineered to fit the decided end. Gadgets are fine for their exact purpose and process change is of course indented to be for the betterment of processes, There are some task that are not worth automating and there are many people that are not amenable to automation. Good employees and reliable processes can be derailed when "better ideas" are a force fit to match a template. All is not lost, do not fear. There are cooperative methods to success in these complex implementations. Sometimes it is a change in the product or process and many times it is a change in the person's understanding. The means to an end in the entire journey is listening to the people that actually execute the meaningful work on a daily and hourly basis. This is the secret sauce that management often ignores when gathering the requirements. Upper management assumes their underlings know what the workers are doing and lower management is not about to deny this. I am here to review the real life comments on process change for the "Truth Factor". I am also here to review the technology sector for impact on our culture.
