It's a manifestation of a problem we've had with all digital technology over the years - a software vendor may teach you how an application works, but they won't necessarily get into the impact on your business processes. Social technology in particular calls for business process realignment and culture change to optimize for the new communication infrastructure. And even if you decide not to implement social technology as a company, your employees will be using it, often carrying supposedly external social platforms in their pockets. Lee, definitely agree.

At Headshift/Dachis we see many large organisations rolling out brilliant systems already for years, but never really ask the end user what the need or want. So there is a clear shift from technology focus to human focus.
