The system worked. Adoption didn’t.
A system can pass every test, meet every specification, and still fail once it reaches daily work.
The failure often happens after implementation: ownership becomes unclear, old incentives remain in place, exceptions have no owner, and employees quietly return to the process the technology was supposed to replace.
I saw this first while building enterprise systems and later from the business-development side of technology decisions. The software was rarely the whole problem. The handover between the people who built it and the people expected to use it was where adoption was won or lost.
I have turned those observations into a practical guide explaining what enterprise technology adoption actually means, why implementation and adoption are different, and what organisations should examine before and after launch.
