It seems to go hand in hand when you talk about change it brings up accountability. When you talk about accountability it inevitably brings up the need to change things. Fellowship One is an enterprise solution for a church. Enterprise means the whole church will be affected. I think people are less afraid of the change that comes with a new software solution than they are the accountability that comes with it. When you move to a common source of data it is easier to see who is doing what or not doing as the case maybe. Accountability is not a bad thing in and of itself. If presented well accountability can be seen as a benchmark to improving yourself and your church. If used as a threat then it creates resistance which often is mislabeled as resistance to change. Before you can determine accountability you must first know how to measure the results. Software does not hold you accountable it only measures the results of your efforts. If you know how to measure your own efforts then the change and accountability brought on by moving to a new system is minimal.
