Information is the lifeblood of modern organisations.  Without accurate and relevant information no enterprise can remain competitive for too long.  And this is true for government agencies, listed and private companies. 

Too often, though, because of complicated technology, inadequate processes and disregard for the human factor this type of information is not there.  True, in many places there are expensive systems, mountains of "important" data and tonnes of policies and procedures.  But often they cannot pass the most basic of all tests - Is the effect on the bottom line positive?

The main reason for this is that the most important factor, people, has been left out of the equation. The simple truth is - Technology rarely fails on its own, people make it do so.

Technology (systems) should not exist in a vacuum.  It needs to be supported by processes and people with the right mindset and right skillset.  If that's not the case technology becomes waste of money and, even worse, an obstacle.  Research from UK carried out in 1940's confirms this.

Peter Drucker expresses the same sentiment: "Automation is a concept of the organization of work…. Automation is not "technical" in character. Like every technology it is primarily a system of concepts, and its technical aspects are results rather than causes."
