Increasingly there is a need for a convergence of Management Technolody and Information Technology. In an information centric world the flow of data throughout the organization is vital. As the complexity of information systems increases it is becoming increasingly common to adapt organizations to systems and not vice versa. Indeed the practice of business process reengineering often deals with ways to mold the organization to it's vital (and difficult to replace) information systems. Increasingly New Management Network consultants are applying their change management skills and techniques to the introduction of new IT systems to integrate the results of business process improvements to the organization.Similarly, we implicitly take information system realities and user information needs into consideration during organization design.

At the New Management Network we approach systems & information processing from a user perspective, not a technological focus. This approach ensures that the user needs drive system analysis and not technical preferences.
