Most failed modernizations are structurally predictable. Ownership has to move with the capability.
A modernization changes who can see what, who can act without asking, and how fast a decision can be made. If the structure around it does not move, people revert to the slower path that still matches their formal authority.
This is not resistance. It is rational behaviour under an unchanged accountability model. Nobody is going to act on information they are not authorized to act on, however good the interface is.
The remedy is procedural and cheap relative to the build. Name a steward for every authoritative source. Write down who decides what. Socialize both before go-live rather than after the first dispute.
Standing accountability is also what separates a capability that is maintained from one that degrades quietly until somebody proposes replacing it, usually with something very similar to what already exists.
The org chart is part of the system. It should be designed alongside the software, not inherited from whatever preceded it.
If this describes a problem your program is carrying, the conversation starts with the question two systems answer differently.
