Implementation
16.
There are two important points about computer policy. First, the new owner or organisation in need must take the lead in deciding the strategy; he must know what is most needed, in what order different elements should be installed, what he can afford, what costs and benefits attach to each item and over what timescale he is operating; computer consultants and salesmen have their own functions which are quite different from telling the owner how to run his business; he needs advice and help but he takes the lead; that role will fall to the Judiciary Administrator. Secondly, throughout each stage of every project there must be the prior involvement of the owner's own operators; the people who are responsible for the work in which the computer is intended to help must be in a position to keep the project on the right lines from beginning to end. The onus on the owner is a heavy one. He must know what he needs, try not to alter the requirement as the work goes on and particularly avoid the temptation to overload the project.

understanding with G.D.P.A. and Finance Branch about what is feasible and affordable and the timescale. It is desirable to consider what installations might usefully be compatible with machines used in Government or by the legal profession. The ideas of the staff would be useful. An early start could be made by the introduction of micros for discrete blocks of work. In all this work the administration will be moving towards decisions about a strategy.
