Bill English, MVP, MCSE, MCT
American Corporations Today
• “Information overload” is a real problem today:– 10 times as much email today as in 1997– 56% of workers are overwhelmed by multiple,
simultaneous projects– Majority of workers report being interrupted
too often– Distractions keep workers from focusing on
process
American Corporations Today
• Estimated that 30% of your work day is spent finding information you need to do your job
• Workers labor under an increasing “email fatigue” and “information overload”
• Workers have very little time to reflect on their information before making decisions
Wouldn’t it be nice……?
• Instead of……– Finding information– Tracking information– Managing information– Organizing information– Ensuring workers have
the right information– “email fatigue”– “information overload”
• We could be…..– Analyzing information– Collaborating on
information– Reflecting on
information– Using information to
make decisions– Producing better
information
