When is it appropriate to discuss the divergence of organizational and technological realms and based on which assumptions? Could the social and technical disconnection be merely a constructed phenomenon, and if so, what does design thinking has to offer towards the creation of aligned organizational and technological views? Drawing from these questions this paper argues that the two notions of organization and technology are both human artifacts with an intertwined and unfolding ontology. We base our argument inspired by i) structuration theory according to which organizational structures and technologies are mutually constituted and co-evolving elements, and, ii) a conceptualization of organizations and technologies as `epistemic objects΄ with a lack in completeness of being. We finally discuss design thinking principles as a basis for an integrated reflection of the two notions hopping to invoke creative and constructive dialogue among communities of technologists, managers and academics alike.
