* Responsibility Modelling: Why and how*

Any information system will have embedded within it a number of implicit
organisational policies, or assumptions about how the organisation behaves.
When organisational change occurs and a new information system is created,
these implicit policies and assumptions should be re-examined to see whether
they are still appropriate. Unfortunately, system analysts and designers
often study only the explicit aspects of what people do, and thereby miss
the implicit assumptions behind why they are doing it.

We suggest that looking at people's responsibilities rather than their
actions is a more effective way of re-examining these implicit policies and
assumptions. Over a number of years, we have developed and used a way of
doing this systematically, based on the soft systems methodology of
Checkland. We shall outline the approach and describe how it has been used
in a number of real-life case studies.
