Both organizations and the information technology (IT) community have long worked to overcome the common problem of dissatisfaction with IT investments’ outcomes in multiple ways. Much attention has been on users’ involvement in IT design, while users’ engagement in later further utilization of IT is less explored. This paper reports on action research (AR) that sought to stimulate local learning processes and increase the exploitation of a case-handling system. The experiment is done in a county administration where the senior management has, for some time, felt that the IT is not fully utilized. The local intervention was based on an awareness of a need to overcome defensive routines to establish communicative spaces to facilitate communication between various units with strong local identities. The AR project was carried out in three local interventions and presented as an experimental approach. We could not guarantee that the design could overcome the issues identified after the first round of interviews with senior management and department managers. The intervention process espoused various defensive routines, even some that the communicative space approach could not overcome. The outcomes from the three experiments are, therefore, mixed. The results indicate that creating communicative spaces is a viable approach to engaging users in systems development. Nevertheless, defensive routines, reluctant managers, and communities of practices hamper the development of communicative spaces.

通过实验使用交流空间探索机会,以克服防御性惯例并提高信息系统利用率

组织和信息技术(IT)社区都长期致力于以多种方式克服对IT投资成果不满意的普遍问题。用户参与IT设计的关注度很高,而用户在以后进一步利用IT方面的参与则较少。本文报告了旨在鼓励当地学习过程并增加对案件处理系统的利用的行动研究(AR)。该实验是在县政府中进行的,该县的高级管理层一段时间以来一直感觉不到IT的充分利用。当地干预的基础是意识到有必要克服防御性常规以建立交流空间,以促进具有强烈本地身份的各个部门之间的交流。AR项目是在三个本地干预措施中进行的,并作为实验方法提出。我们无法保证设计可以克服在与高级管理层和部门经理进行的第一轮面谈之后发现的问题。干预过程拥护着各种防御程序,甚至是通信空间方法无法克服的防御程序。因此,这三个实验的结果是混合的。结果表明,创建交流空间是使用户参与系统开发的可行方法。然而,防御性的常规,勉强的管理者和实践社区阻碍了交流空间的发展。我们无法保证设计可以克服在与高级管理层和部门经理进行的第一轮面谈之后发现的问题。干预过程拥护着各种防御程序,甚至是通信空间方法无法克服的防御程序。因此,这三个实验的结果是混合的。结果表明,创建交流空间是使用户参与系统开发的可行方法。然而,防御性的常规,勉强的管理者和实践社区阻碍了交流空间的发展。我们无法保证设计可以克服在与高级管理层和部门经理进行的第一轮面谈之后发现的问题。干预过程拥护着各种防御程序,甚至是通信空间方法无法克服的防御程序。因此,这三个实验的结果是混合的。结果表明,创建交流空间是使用户参与系统开发的可行方法。然而,防御性的常规,勉强的管理者和实践社区阻碍了交流空间的发展。结果表明,创建交流空间是使用户参与系统开发的可行方法。然而,防御性的常规,勉强的管理者和实践社区阻碍了交流空间的发展。结果表明,创建交流空间是使用户参与系统开发的可行方法。然而,防御性的常规,勉强的管理者和实践社区阻碍了交流空间的发展。
