They Just Don’t Get It!

Something that is really top-of-mind for me at the moment, and coincidentally came up in conversation this morning with Peter, is the way organisations (and individuals) approach problem-solving.

I love working with concepts and ideas and often find that people “just don’t get it” — they move immediately into problem solving without a conceptual framework or any understanding of what they are doing, or trying to achieve. In my mind, this is madness, and I’m sure it has something to do with the number of failed IT projects, particularly those cited as failing because of ‘poor requirements’. Perhaps we should create a new measure of project failure … ‘poor conceptual understanding’?
