The problems – Data Overload
“Information doubles every 1,100 days. Yet the amount of time available to deal with that information remains constant: 1,440 minutes per day”
Jensen, Bill. Simplicity: The New Competitive Advantage in a World of More, Better, Faster
The problems – Data Overload
From “The Knowledge Worker Investment Paradox” Gartner research 7/17/2002
Employees get 50%-75% of their relevant information directly from other people.
Individuals do not have mechanisms to share critical knowledge and most of this is lost when they leave the enterprise.
