What affected the internal design?: Leadership of IT professionals

Despite all the comments made by Colin on database design (00635), it was amazing to discover that the Financial Accounting sub-system did not appear to have an entity model or database design. This despite the fact that he had been managing the development for over two months and had supposedly tightened up the development approach (00958). This illustrates how difficult it is for those in senior positions to really influence technical development and the general lack of interest within GIS on entity modelling.
