Did this problem come from poor governance - poor decision-making

Ian,
I suspect that when the co-operative was formed electronic records
were nowhere in sight, so no 'rules' about this sort of thing were
ever considered. Further, I suspect that because all the doctors own
a share of the business it becomes difficult to force anything on
anyone, unless it was agreed at the outset.
Yes but the *same* decision-making rules apply to ANY decision made
by the "cooperative". Whether it applies to IT or staff or budgets or
policy or anything.....
A dysfunctional organisation can dysfunctional on any issue.
Ian.
The other issue is that adoption has grown slowly, with the
interested majority using the system, and the minority diminishing
to just one over time.
Or maybe they are just being compassionate human beings and don't
want to be seen to be ganging up on him.
