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
