Consider the analogy of a magician performing a card trick - the process is easy to follow but impossible to replicate from the audience's point of view. To replicate such a magic trick it is necessary to understand several different views of the trick, rather than simply looking at it from the audience's point of view. A full understanding will require some degree of domain knowledge concerning magic and sleight-of-hand, and insight into the hidden complexities behind the trick and a knowledge of the mis-communication devices employed by magicians. The challenge, therefore, is in creating an accurate and concise model of a process - a task that is plagued with complexity and difficulty in understanding the often-buried processes and communication trails that exist.

It is a practical introductory guide for anyone involved with any aspect of business analysis or improving the effectiveness of IT and its alignment with the organizations' business objectives. Reports about IT systems which do not satisfy business requirements, or that fail to realise the expected benefits to organizations are rife. In response, companies have increased their effort in the areas of programme, project and service management, which has undoubtedly produced improvements. However, without a comprehensive understanding of the business environment in which any IT or Information System will need to perform, and how the resulting business and IT systems are to be aligned, real success is unlikely ever to be achieved.

The introduction of IT into healthcare has not followed a smooth path. In the early days, like-minded people came together from different professional backgrounds but with a shared interest in getting technology to work for patients and staff. This book contains recollections of the development of healthcare computing in the UK. It is an autobiography rather than a history.
