Disparate systems
Disparate systems are common as organisations organically grow over time. The systems can be digital or manual systems and have been built
without considering the whole.
- The solution has been built piecemeal so that some of the complex problems have been solved.
- The disparate systems have become a liability to the organisation as it cannot scale due to the lack of cohesion.
- The replacement of the disparate systems will likely incur changes to organisation processes as multiple systems are considered.
- Organisational change must be carefully managed.
- Retraining of staff across the organisation must include regular communication channels and feedback mechanisms.
- Changes to the new system must be considered meticulously as the downstream effects will slow the momentum of the project.
-
If changes can be deferred, these new requests will be satisfied far more efficiently given the new technology stack and environments.
