Most systems fail for organiza- tional reasons, not for technical ones. Many of our solutions are technically adequate, but they cause organizational problems or do not take into account organizational issues, and that is why so much technology is not implemented, adopted, or deployed. Knowing how organizations work greatly improves the chances that our technical solutions are appropriate and will actually be used. Besides, big work, significant work, is done by organizations for organizations.
