Technical vs. Social Issues

In decisions that really matter, the bulk of the issue is social and political while a small amount is technical. We spend a lot of time developing technology when the decision will really be based on support and acceptance . Technological obstacles are often easier to overcome than public opposition. Public trust , participation , and confidence are essential to a strong foundation.

Your work with people's values, needs and what is important to them will determine long-term, sustainable success or failure.

A purely technical solution will not work if it doesn't meet people's needs. People need to continue to support the solution. Incorporate social, organizational, and other institutions into your solution.
