The words of Edwards Deming that "Ninety-four percent of problems in business are systems driven and only 6% are people driven" always pinched me to think on these lines as to how teams and systems-thinking would go hand in hand to make businesses and organizations run smoothly without many notable hindrances between. With the knowledge of subjects, expertise and skill, I have been driven with motivation, zeal and exuberance to work on this topic producing exhaustive research on information systems to help the businesses concerned and also to integrate my nation on these lines, both technically and financially.
