The Mandalan Quest - A Short Story

I have been asked to provide an aid for reviewers of this website. The story behind the site is mine, as a systems integrator, and hundreds of others in all relevant disciplines who have and are developing the soil for human systems integration (systems, concepts, models, processes, and tools). I spent a great part of my work life in information systems, integrating the then highly fragmented forms of computer-based systems in organizations. I found the many failures in designing and implementing computer systems was 20% technical and 80% human in origin. For many years I have done for human systems what I did for information systems.

There is confusion between large and complex. Large-scale integrations are, as the name suggests, large. They are also, by their nature, complex. Yet, complexity is a relative concept and compared to the generally troubled systems in most organizations, a well designed and attended large-scale human systems integration is relatively simple.

I hope you enjoy your visit and find your time well spent.
